Pro Version adds NVIDIA PhysX
New Collision Library Incorporated 

We have recently begun the incorporation of the NVIDIA PhysX Physics library into Realm Crafter Professional. It will replace the current collision engine to provide faster and more reliable collision detection. Integrating PhysX opens many new doors for the future of Realm Crafter; such as the use of full rigid body dynamics; cloth and ragdolls.
PhysX
Update: Pro Version 2.22
Environment Update

In the next update we will include an updated environment system. You will be able to choose custom sky shaders for each zone as well modify the color through a selectable gradient texture*. The directional lights will also fade in and out during sunrise and sunset, so the transition between day and night is a smooth one.

* A new gradient texture is provided (See below). By default the sky will transition from black to light blue and the suns corona effect will transition from black to orange at sunrise, then to yellow mid-morning before being a sky blue at midday.

Update: 1.2.6 Standard Version
Improved Toolbox

With 1.2.6, we had 3 major points on our todo list:
The strongest focus has been on the toolbox editors, which come bundled with any Realm Crafter Standard and support the user in creating Realm Crafter ready 3D content.
The toolbox editors have not only received bug fixes and expanded the control handling to work smoother for fast and slow systems, but we have also expanded the saving capabilities to include the possibility to store unencrypted B3D files on all editors. The RC Terrain Editor has additionaly received the possibility to exclude layers from autotexturing (by setting the min height higher than the max height or the min slope higher than the max slope) RC Architect, which has not received such capabilities with 1.2.6, is at the top our tools To Do list for the next RC Standard release.
