3. SU Podium 1.5 Beta bump map library.
One of the new features in Podium 1.5 Beta is the support for bump map
textures in the rendering. However, bump maps textures can be tricky to
make. We have created a small library of bump map textures for you to
use freely. The library is located at the bottom of this web page - .

5. Release schedule for Podium 1.5.
Podium 1.5 will be a free upgrade for Podium 1.4.1 customers. If you
purchase Podium now, you can get free access to the 1.5 Beta. We are
planning to release 1.5 as soon as enough users have had a chance to
test it and give us some valuable feed back. Expect a release to come
in early autumn. Keep in mind – the upgrade if free. So there’s no
point in waiting to purchase after 1.5 is released. Get it now and
start producing beautiful images.
