I am most likely going to upgrade my SketchUp and Studio licenses in due course, but, like others have a few questions before taking the plunge.
1. It would be really useful to know when the pre-ordering phase will end, even a rough indication. This year/ early next year? Knowing my luck it will be the day before I decide to purchase the upgrade.
2. The GPU engine finally working with additive materials and FIRE is a great thing that many of us have been waiting for, since the release of Version 4. Will the new GPU renderer have support for all the features within the Maxwell Material out of the box, or will there be further development after shipping needed to get those working? Is it possible to implement all of those features on GPU?
3. The same question as above, but regarding GPU suppor for Maxwell Extensions, full channel compatibilty and Multilight.
4. I am sure there would be a great response to a beta testing period, either open, or closed... Is there any intention to do this before release?
Thanks for any clarification.
