Yep, keep on integrating mate...

[tom]

Excuse the temper. We are all trying to provide the best and I never forget where I come from. You don't need to see NL as an enemy of yours. Rivoli, sorry for I'm being sensitive sometimes. I can stand from hearing such statements from buffos etc. but not from you. Don't forget we are a family of powerusers. You will understand when you have the new Maxwell.

[rivoli]

You will understand when you have the new Maxwell.

i'm 100% sure i'll be more than delighted tom, and thanks for the insight.

[tom]

It's my pleasure to start seeing you frequently here again rivoli!

[Mihai]

Don't forget we are a family of powerusers.

Kind of like the Goodfellas?




I would really, really like to see a picture of the developers like this

Come on NL, you've taken so much shit from so many users, time for intimidation

[tom]

Actually we have more horrifying examples

[rivoli]

eh, i vibe we're going to have some goood time in the upcoming rc forum, parties, coatings, bsdf, getting drunk, whiskey cooking lasagne... jeez, i can't wait for it.

btw, is there any chance to have betty and carmen back by then?

sure i bet it would be famous than Michael Jackson

[tom]

Thank you adehus!
I will always try to provide the answers you need.

[Micha]

Tom, some bugs in the bug section dosn't show a "fixed". Are this bugs in the RC? Good to know befor we send new bug reports.

[campomanes]

Tom i think you dont understand the essence of the whole proccess.
Look what i mean.
Progress is made, by pointing at mistakes, and second by admitting them.
This is the first step of development.

NL made a great deal of mistakes. But that alone is not a problem.
Everyone who works makes mistakes.
The point is to learn from them. And i dont think we have seen such signs

This is the first time,in a long time, that we actually see some real answer.
And a honest one.

I may not like the " we dont know if it works" but its far better than claiming that we are the masters of the univers.
I am also very dissapointed to hear that displacement maps, will not be availiable, until after the v1 release (so judjing from previous expirience we will have to wait a lot). But at least this is a sincere answer.

It will be better to tell people that Maxwell 1.0 will be avaliable in March but they will have frequent updates than to promise December and postpone again, or rush an unfinished version.

The problem is i think, that although maxwell 1 will bring some new stuff, some basic functionality (which we take for granted in all renderers) will be missing.

I hope you understand, that all that whinning is not without reason.

[tom]

I understand you perfectly campomanes. Thank you for accepting my answer and I make you sure the team is doing their best. In opposite I'm not sure if you're aware of Maxwell will bring you unmatched features in the history of rendering that you can't simplify as some basic features.

[tom]

Normal Map creation cannot be expected from a render engine. So, the answer is unfortunately and naturally, no.

[Maximus3D]

What about my question back on page 1 regarding combining normal/displacement/bumpmaps all on the same model. Will that be possible ? i never got a answer to that.. :/

/ Max

[tom]

You may use bump maps and normal maps together with the layer system I suppose. Displacement will probably be an additional feature, so it would be possible to use all together. It's a bit early to give an exact answer.
