New Agent Fields handle local interactions between large numbers of agents for such things as collision avoidance, pedestrian visualization and flocking. Users can define an area, or field, around an agent in which another agent’s proximity, orientation, velocity, direction and color can be assessed.

There is also improved hair and dynamics support in the new version with increased control of hair with a guide hair shape constraint that can be used to get hair to keep to a user-defined shape or hairstyle.
