Perhaps a premature question, but any proposed upgrade pricing established, or do we need to wait until it's a little more formal?

It's a V2 Prices, not a V3.
Of course I hope that NL don't change the prices, but maybe not.

Hi all ,

I found an interessting answer from Next Limit on the " Maxwell Render - Have you seen the light?" video on VIMEO:

"Next Limit Technologies PRO 3 months ago
... For the next version we are working on some developments in GPU, but 100% rendering in GPU is still not compatible with physical correctness or huge scene handling - but we are working on it
Thanks for your comment.

So go everybody !! let's invest in a new video card now

...Juan showed a short presentation of only some of the new features.

From memory:

Speed improvements
Volumetrics
Dual sided materials
GPU accelerated multilight/multilens modifications in realtime
Procedural textures
Open exr 2 and deep support
Rendertime Boolean and subd
Scattering / instance tools

Ill try to remember some more. He showed a lot very quickly and it was only a sampler.

btw... @dmeyer: do you remember some more?!?

Yes, sorry , I just remember this " GPU accelerated multilight/multilens modifications in realtime" feature, right away after posting my comment...
...but maybe we can have some more surprise with GPU , who knows
but by the way, in the Next limit post, they mention GPU rendering and no gpu accelerating gpu

fiiiinally subdivs! ive been waiting for this

[AlexP]

I hope NL team is working on most special thing, check 3.1.2. Manifold Exploration.

[choo-chee]

I don't think that any special thing is so needed but SPEED.

[l1407]

no more increase speed, MR may be quit on the marketing on the future

[Fernando Tella]

Any new teaser?

I'm quite bored here.

[jfrancis]

Any new teaser?

Just the one you created by bumping the thread.

[Fernando Tella]

Hehe.

[Maximus3D]

Question, and probably a stupid one but the new atmospherics can they be enclosed within a volume (mesh) so we can use it to control internal density of a material like ice, glass, marble and similar volumetric materials like that. Or should i keep dreaming ?

[rusteberg]

In that type of scenario why wouldn't you just apply a sub surface material to the object itself?

[Maximus3D]

Because subsurface materials have no volumetric properties. You cannot vary the density of the material in all 3 dimensions, that's why i asked about what i did above.
