Expressa Configurator 1.7 has officially arrived, bringing a comprehensive overhaul designed to streamline every phase of business aviation design. Built on direct feedback from MROs, OEMs, completion centers, and interior designers, version 1.7 bridges the gap between high-speed production and visual fidelity. From automated multi-camera render queues and selective animation paths to real-time DLSS viewport controls, versatile material mapping, and enhanced data security, this release equips your team to take cabin concepts from raw model to client-ready presentation in record time.
Discover how version 1.7 eliminates pipeline bottlenecks and empowers you to deliver extraordinary visual concepts faster than ever.
The Core 1.7.1.0 Experience
The 1.7.1.0 core update represents a major leap forward in our software’s capabilities. We have focused heavily on user feedback to introduce tools that streamline the design process from concept to final presentation.
Streamlined Workflows for Unmatched Efficiency
Render Queue
One of the most requested features by our users is finally here. You no longer need to export renders one by one. With the new Render Queue, you can line up to 10 consecutive renders to process automatically across your manually preselected camera angles—all exported consistently in the active viewport color scheme. Simply stage your setup, queue your views, and let Expressa do the heavy lifting.
Animation Split
Another highly anticipated addition is the Animation Split feature. For supported aircraft, users can now select specific camera paths of different lengths both for previewing the animation and for the final export. This gives designers the ultimate control over their visual narrative. Allowing animations to focus on specific areas of interest in the aircraft cabin.
This feature will be progressively updated across the entire Expressa fleet based on project requirements.
Fast Rendering Animation
Need dynamic content for your marketing channels right now? The new Fast Rendering Animation outputs sequences at work preview lighting quality, making it the ideal solution for quick social media deliverables (For top-tier 4K quality with maximum material and reflection fidelity, we still recommend using the full animation export, which takes longer but delivers unparalleled realism).
Enhanced Quality, Control, and Security
Viewport Optimization & DLSS Switch
We fixed the viewport blurriness issue. Version 1.7 adds a new DLSS toggle so you can easily choose between best visual quality or better performance depending on your immediate design needs.
Interchangeable Material Templates
Our material editor continues to grow more versatile. We have introduced a brand-new material template that is completely interchangeable between “Fit” and “Tile” mapping, giving designers effortless control over complex textures and patterns across the cabin.
Upgraded Specs Book and Robust Security
Your data and presentations are safer and more detailed. The new update allows for more information fields to be populated within the exported PDF Specs Book, giving a more comprehensive overview of the design. Additionally, we have implemented advanced pack encoding to ensure a higher level of encryption and security for your custom assets.
Continuous Improvements and Bug Fixes
A smoother experience is always a priority. Expressa 1.7 brings a host of under-the-hood improvements, including fixes for reported visualization errors in thumbnails, purple selection highlight and tooltip glitches.
