Yes, something that finally looks as though Beta can be retired off gracefully - well, first impressions anyway.

Looks like you're using a coating... check the Masterclass main post for a suggestion about glossy clearcoats! Also, roughness values 20-40 are in the most influential range for various looks!

Good start!!

Here's my quick 15 minute testrendering via C4D using RC5 i forgot to check how many samples it hit but i mean, it's pretty darn clean for just 15 minutes. This new version sure put a big smile from ear to ear on my face

The material is standard Gold, nothing special.

quick clay just to test emitters, mxcl's preview and max plugin. in this case it looks a bit slower than the beta, but don't really mind at the moment. i'm looing at the monitor with a big grin, welcome back maxwell:

[Maximus3D]

Thanks guys you all done some real nice tests yourself now. Hope to see many many more in the morning..

Btw, is it possible to use MXI emitters for HDRI rendering now in RC5 ?

/ Max

[mverta]

MXI's are disabled for now... ALLLLMOST got 'em done..


_Mike

By the way, I put a custom layout file in the MasterClass thread at the end of the main posting.

[Maximus3D]

Ahhh! damn that's a shame :/ i hope they'll be in a future revision (RC) if there'll be any more.. as they're very useful for all types of work.

Thanks for your quick reply Mike

All these "good vibrations" are really freaking me out!!!

Can we please get back to the moaning and complaining.

Anything else just feels kinda unnatural round here.

Shoot!... the probelm is that the software looks really good... it is not fully funcitonal yet.. but we can see everything is going on that direction. Ok now 6 months for a functioning V1.0 doens't seem that bad... Only if we had real clipmaps (or transparency maps!) oh well!

The eyes are a bit screwed because I accidentally moved them and didn't feel like reloading the scene (and redoing all the materials).

This shows how texturing in Studio without Undo does break the workflow... hope the plugins get done soon.

I have to say that the RC5 renders look good so far, maybe half an f-stop brighter than the beta engine. Can't check that myself because they still have no workflow in place to compile the applications side by side for Windows and Mac

Well, just hoping that tomorrow I can share that exitement Ehm, today...

If you accidentally move an object, just open an Object params panel, and set it translation values back to 0

OK.. many promissed features are still not there. Let's not forget... this is a huge step for the final version... but in no way it is suited for animation production.. it is still very slow (and we understand that) and the missing features that handicaped the Beta are still missing (clipmaps, etc) or partially missing (in the case of the sun+dia).

But today it is time ot cellebrate... tomorrow.. we go back to the old mood

See that, and it didn't even have to come surfing down on a golden ray from heaven!

Thought that slant gripe might make y'all feel better.
