REALTIME PREVIEW FEATURE |

The Renderer
utilizes the DirectX8 technology making realtime preview possible.
Since objects can now be viewed with textures, reflection, transparency
and shadow, even as you make changes, editing in LiveMagic Mode
is made even more convenient.

BILLBOARD OBJECTS
|
| TGA
Images
with alpha channels can be loaded into the SSE as objects. The alpha
area in the image will be transparent so you can have irregularly
shaped objects without spending too much memory on polygons. BB objects
are best for creating thick foliage, flame, fences, crowds and so
on. |
