IRender
IRender, (and IRender Plus), now have a better and faster extraction routine. It uses about 30% less RAM for large models, so should be able to handle larger models of about 20 megabytes, rather than our current limit of about 15 megabytes.
IRender is faster during extract, but should not be any faster during rendering - except that by using less RAM it is less likely to start swapping out RAM during the download and rendering process. (Which would really slow things down.)
Download the latest version from: Downloads Page to test the new version.

RPS 3D PDF
The latest version, F05p, works better for clients who do not have administrative permission on their machines.
