We are elated to introduce Perspective 6, the result of more than one year of learning from collaboration with Perspective’s leading customers.
Perspective 6 is our biggest release yet; it includes major updates to all underlying engines: data, visuals, computation, and cinematography.
Given the breadth and the depth of changes in Perspective 6, we thought it best to highlight them ahead of time while we go through our formal release process.
We welcome your involvement! You may get an early access copy of Perspective 6 by sending an email to perspective+6@pixxa.com or tweet to @pixxa.
