New SolidThinking 8.0, with ‘Morphogenesis Technology’

A new version of SolidThinking boasts several new features such as progressive rendering, real-time rendering, NURBS support, improved manipulators for scaling and rotations, improved precision, and HDRI support.  But what really impressed me was the “morphogenesis technology” support:

The new SolidThinking Inspired 8.0 update adds the integration of morphogenesis technology, allowing the software to now mimic processes and physical laws in nature. Designers are given tools for replicating biological growth processes in nature, enabling them to grow efficient shapes in specifically defined environments, and form controls.

Pricing has yet to be released.
