The "Evolution" in the name took on a new meaning. It was no longer about TechArts’ software. It was about the evolution of a participatory culture.

The rendering engine was overhauled, supporting higher resolutions and post-processing effects like bloom and depth of field. The "Evolution" in the name took on a new meaning
