Piranesi 5.1 is here!

Informatix Software International Limited is proud to announce that version 5.1 of Piranesi® - its award-winning "3D painting" technology – is now available on Windows® and Apple Mac OS X. This is the first new release under the ownership of Selective Software Holdings.

The power of Piranesi comes from its ability to combine different tools and effects together. Piranesi 5.1 enhances its power even further by promoting a number of tools and effects, such as lock highlighting and stroke recording.

The new image cutout cursor can be used to position entourage more accurately, reducing the amount of time spent tweaking cutouts.

Another useful enhancement is the ability to draw filled shapes and create arbitrary shaped planes.

Piranesi now provides direct access to the extensive Google® 3D Warehouse providing a seamless link to the Sketchup® files which you can use as cutouts. Piranesi 5.1 also has full support for Sketchup 7 files.

Piranesi can now save and load colour palettes, so you can now download palettes from the internet, in Photoshop® or other formats, and load them directly into Piranesi. This gives you more control over your designs and impressions.

Piranesi 5.0 enabled you to automatically record styles used in a session. Piranesi 5.1 takes this a step further by recording your actual paint strokes as well. This means that you can ‘play back’ the same strokes in different views, maintaining a given theme or corporate look.

Both Piranesi and Vedute can now read FBX® files. This mean that Revit® users can now easily work with Piranesi.

This is also the first simultaneous release of Piranesi on Windows® and Apple Mac OS X.

The new version of Piranesi has been developed to make the Piranesi experience more pleasurable, whilst offering new enhancements to enable customers to win more business.
