"With its seamless Mac OS X integration, Cheetah3D has been written from the ground up using Cocoa. Martin Wengenmayer, Cheetah3D's developer. "Performing truly advanced operations in Cheetah3D will seem like second nature very rapidly," said Dr. * More effienct preferences loading/saving * Tool settings can be saved to preferences * Moved pose manager functionality to new pose tag * Redesigned UI of render manager (with thumbnail preview, job manaeger in main window, etc.) * Altivec/SSE accelerated wire frame rendering * Altivec/SSE accelerated raytracing core The pose manager functionality has moved to a tag to allow saving poses locally and making it more conveninent and faster to work with character poses. For example, for easier finding of old render jobs, a thumbnail preview is now available. On the user interface side, the already convenient and easy-to-use Render Manager has been rewritten completely and is now even better. The handling of complex geometry has also been considerably improved: huge meshes with millions of polygons now render up to 10 times faster.

To deal with these complex scenes, the Cheetah3D raytracing core has been accelerated considerably, and Altivec/SSE optimized. Now Cheetah3D can use all the memory installed in your Mac, and will allow you to create much more complex and more impressive scenes. The biggest change in Cheetah3D 5.3 is undoubtedly the 64-bit version for Intel 64-bit CPUs. The possibility to extend Cheetah3D with JavaScripts and support for many common file formats, like FBX, 3DS or Collada, rounds out its feature set. It offers many powerful tools, like subdivision surface modelling, joint based character animation system, UV unwrapping, texture painting, PDF import, global illumination renderer, and much more. Perfect for graphic designers, architects and casual users alike, Cheetah3D provides the most useful features needed to get the job done, and organizes them within a beautifully elegant user-interface that is powerful, intuitive and quick to work with. Developed from the ground up utilizing the latest Cocoa technologies, Cheetah3D is a lean, fast, and elegant 3D modeling, rendering, and animation package with an easy learning curve.
