Esperient Creator 3.7 Beta (Build: 3,7,0,2140), is now available for download. Creator enables rapid development of compelling interactive 3D applications and content for an enormous range of applications but with a particular focus on Architecture, Education, Interactive Training and Product Presentation & Marketing. Significantly lowering the cost and time barriers associated with traditional tools for creating interactive 3D media, it is specifically designed for creative artists and media designers. With a rapidly increasing portfolio of Smart Objects™ and Intelligent Materials™ - drag & drop re-usable components that require no scripting or programming knowledge - users of Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk 3DS Max or Maya, Google SketchUp and a host of other tools, will benefit from Creator’s workflow design

This should be the final beta version before release (we hope!)
