# RELEASE 08.00.0

January 29, 2020

* New and improved 3D Shading Capabilities!
  * Objects can now be added to a prediction to model near shading on a DC Field
  * Stepped-Slope Predictions improved to provide more accurate results
  * Electrical Shading algorithm improved for more accurate predictions
  * Revamped DC Field UI for optimized Object Shading Experience
  * Refer to the user manual [<u>HERE</u>](https://plantpredict.com/user_manual/predictions/power-plant-builder/object-shading/) for more information on 3D object shading!

All 3D shading calculations were created using OpenGL. Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is an application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.
