. Is it odd that i start to compare the beauty of the noise?
The thought crossed my mind too. The old noise was more fine. Now the noise is more blocky and have to use the middle range control in Neat image.
And for the kind of work i'm doing, I can not say that's faster

I still need around 15H to get a good rendering (noise free)
I agree with you here as well. The new beta takes about as long for my projects too. Its just that, when its done, the sampling level is less but the time is the same (or at least it feels so). Unless the scene is all diffuse, in which case the beta is faster; as tom proved in his tests.
I was wondering, do you think it's possible to use the new maxwell preview and rhinoll 0.6 with the alpha version?
hehe, the best of both worlds
No, unfortunately. If you look behind the shortcut for the viewer it is actually calling "mxcl.exe -d" which is the core. So the viewer is integrated to the core.
However, I really think that the patch will make us happy one way or another (people are complaining and stuff). In your shoes, I'd just wait a little...... (hmm, well I
am in your shoes...
