Like THIS once a week?! After 3 weeks we wouldn't be releasing Maxwell, we'd be releasing Master Control Program.

Very nice and promising, thanks for the info.

I would also like you to elaborate on the "material wizard" info.

Are any of these images made with the OSX version?

Is it possible to get out more than 8 bit images?

[mverta]

bugy... Studio has gotten TONS of attention, new stuff, improvements, etc... Next update!

Render output now supports 32 bits-per-channel HDR.

Carl,

Not sure if any of us did these with OSX (we were going pretty fast), but OSX version is getting equal attention this go-around. I put a station in my testing bay as well, espeically when I found out it was much faster than my PC's!

ie working "sun through dialectrics viewed from outside" and "infinite time for caustics to appear in reflected surfaces".

What are the news about that?

Reflected caustics are already possible and working nicely. Sun caustics behind glass improved and the team is working on it.

Are you saying that the OSX version is much faster than before?

Can you say which PC and Mac are you testing on?

[mverta]

I test on one dual p4 2.2, one dual 2.8, 20 dual 2.4's, and my Mac is a G5 dual 2GHz.

hhmmm...looks pretty cool. That street light test is pretty freakin' slick, and alot of the new stuff (like the stand alone mat editor) show that NL does take in to consideration what the users say. Two points, doubt either merits an answer, but I'll put 'em down anyway:

1). mxi looks brill. SSS? I immagine that the next set of demo images will showcase this - VERY curious!

2). core calibration (color/light transport). any word on this yo? Is this an issue that NL recognizes and has addressed?

good work
