Release of Cheetah3D 3.4
26. Jul. 2006
Cheetah3D 3.4 has been released today. Version 3.4 adds many new features like animating objects along spline paths. This feature makes it extremely easy to create fly through animations or to animate a car along a road.
With Cheetah3D 3.4 it is now also possible to drag and drop objects within the scene graph transformation hierarchy without changing it's global position. This makes especially the grouping of objects much easier.
Another work flow enhancement is the possibility to lock the parameter values of each single object, tag or material. So if you are done with a object just lock it's parameters and you no longer can accidentally modify it.
Last but not least this update seriously accelerates the OpenGL preview. Especially scenes with many small objects can render up to 10 times faster.

Major changes since the last update:
- Added "Target" tag
- Added "Spline Tracking" tag
- Added Coord System Tool
- Support for drag and drop of object within the transformation hierarchy without changing their global position. Just hold the SHIFT key pressed during the drag and drop and the global position of the object won't change
- Faster OpenGL preview when working with many small objects
- Lock all object parameters
- Other small bug fixes and enhancements
