Or you can see the new features in the following overview:

Next-generation renders

The graphics engine has been rewritten from the ground up and now features physically based rendering (PBR) for more realistic lighting and materials.
Flowing water, shadows, lighting, 3D grass and more are now available in perspective as you design, and the 3D view launches even faster.

All-new graphical features include depth of field, realistic fog, vignette shading, customizable exposure controls, enhanced fire effects, sunbeams, ray-traced global illumination, and dynamic environment mapping for even more realistic reflections. Instantly switch between 3D or plan views while designing. The views are linked.
The changes you make in one view are immediately reflected in the other.



The new render engine has more options Reflections even more realistic to represent.


New features such as "Global Illumination' give you even more options.

New features such as "Focus“ enable the most important garden elements to be brought to the fore even better in the visualization.

There are new features for Fog and Vignette.

The vignette can be used like a pas-partout as a border of the image (in different intensities and colors) and brings more depth to the image.
