Version 6 has a newly designed user interface and redesigned menu that version 4 and 5 users will appreciate. Now, there are images for layers and texture maps. We also added concave shading, convex highlighting and normalize display modes for the 'Selection Touch-up Brush.' Blacksmith3D now supports many more file types. In addition to the obj & cr2 import/exports of previous versions, there are now options for importing duf and pp2 files and new mat and mor file exports along with import and export options for fbx file formats.
