The Smart Optimizer is here! | VC6
You’ve been waiting for this and now it’s here! Virtual CRASH 6 introduces the new Smart Optimizer, an advanced search and optimization tool designed to streamline the accident reconstruction process. This powerful system automatically iterates over your selected input variables, such as speeds, positions, impact parameters, and more, in order to rapidly generate a range of simulation scenarios that align with the physical evidence.

Improvements to Easy Video and Image Analysis Tool | VC6
PAR Not Equal to 1:1
Videos with pixel aspect ratio not equal to 1:1 will now be corrected.
Extend Boundaries
By default, when you calibrate your camera using the Easy Video and Image Analysis Tool, the image plane boundaries are set to show only the best region of the undistorted composition. This crops out areas where no pixel data exists after correction. To adjust this, go to the "Background" menu after calibrating your camera. Use "Extend Boundaries" to reveal more of the original image or video, including edge regions that may appear black or incomplete.
Note that while object tracking, the full video is shown by default. However, when viewing your subject video or image through the solved camera, you may want to see the superimposed composition alongside your scene data. Use "Extend Boundaries" to accomplish this.
Here we see the resulting extended region.
Watch the video below to see it in action.
