Only some weeks ago we wrote about availability of Arion 1.5.1 and now RandomControl released new version. Arion 1.6.0 brings many improvements. With this version can now render an unlimited number of objects, materials and textures and that is one of biggest advantages of this render. Unlimited objects in Arion 1.6.0 opens the doors of massive physics simulations, crowds, vegetation and can now use as many materials as you want in your scene. Arion 1.6.0 has absolutely no limit in terms of number of textures or their size. The only limit here is the available memory to render.
