Next-level 3D is here! Version 3 is our most significant update yet, and our team is incredibly excited to share it with you. With amazing features, dramatically improved 3D rendering quality, finer controls, and faster speeds, Version 3 combines stunning 3D technology with radically improved performance.
We know that you rely on the full collection of tools, libraries, and features in Vip3D, Pool Studio, and VizTerra to create the extraordinary designs and presentations your customers love. And now, Version 3 expands those collections with powerful new tools, extensive new options, and frankly phenomenal graphics to make your designs even more spectacular.
And as we've made refinements to existing tools, we've been careful to keep the user interface familiar so that we don't interrupt your workflow.

Design faster by editing your shapes instantly in 3D. With Version 3, you no longer need to go back and forth between 2D and 3D. Save time by changing the height, lip, coping and more of your pool, spa, hardscapes, and planters—right in 3D!
The entire material library has been updated in Version 3. New brick, concrete, pavers, PBR metal, glass, stone, and wood options make your designs even more accurate and beautiful.
Version 3 offers you even more realistic 3D models, from characters to vehicles (including trucks!), rockwork to strip fire. Everything has been updated to help you create exceptionally beautiful, realistic designs that engage your clients and help them understand the scale of your vision for them.
You'll even find birds, bees, and fireflies all ready to enhance your designs.
Now it is even easier to offer your clients personalized options that make their outdoor space feel like home. Version 3 is filled with new backgrounds, materials, and models that help you add the perfect finishing touches to complete your projects.
A great new timesaving tool: auto level in terrain. Now, when you draw a complete shape and set the height, all terrain inside the shape will remain level.
Sharing photos and videos on Instagram and Facebook is now easier than ever.
The new social-size image and video options in Version 3 make it incredibly quick and easy to take a photo or video that’s instantly ready to be shared on your favorite social media platform.
Choose Social Square to create square images with an aspect ratio of 1:1. Choose Social Story to set the aspect ratio to 9:16.
This ensures your images and videos are framed correctly and retain their high quality.
Discover new ways to shape your design. The presentation enhancements in Vip3D Version 3 offer you a wide variety of exclusive new options.
Ground your viewer to the reality of your design with all-new 3D grass, which makes expansive lawns, gardens, and parks look even more impressive.
Give your client’s house an upgrade in Version 3 by turning on the automatic window lights. As soon as you enter Dusk or Night, the house becomes an inviting centerpiece as the light glows through the windows.
Strategically place strip lights to add ambiance and depth to your design. They're the perfect way to highlight the pool, outdoor kitchen, and bar areas.
Add fog, steam, and even fireworks to add ambiance to your project and set the ideal mood.
The camera lens dropdown allows you to choose Wide, Variable, or Telephoto.
Use the Focus Distance Dial to add a new dimension with depth of field. You can even add Lens Flare, Camera Dust, Color Fringe, or a Vignette to your image.
Capture the mood of your design by adjusting the cloud cover and selecting the perfect phase of the moon to dial in the romance.
Set your water surface to be turbulent or as smooth as glass.
Find your style: add filter effects to control the depth of your scene.
Add the property line with measurements and the bearing. You can even see the property line in 3D.
This makes it easy to align landscaping or other objects while maintaining the appropriate setback.
In Page Layout, the North Symbol will automatically match the Orientation set in Stage 1.
Try out the new color themes: Cobalt and High Contrast White, which is perfect for designing outdoors.
