I like that render. Can we get some specs on render mashine, time, RS used etc...??
I think, thay have to still deal with strong aliasing issue....

Physical sky + Sunlight (not skydome) penetrating glass, then penetrating glass sphere, and leaving strong caustics. My glass settings are a touch dark; most likely attenuation settings. Is this what you guys are worried about?

likes good to me

Thanks mike, Nice to see it all working. Id imagine the glass would also lighten up a bit more with more time to cook.

Thanks mike, thats a nice test, glad to see physical sky working again woohoo!!!

Yep, that's it. Are you gonna let it cook tonight? I'll check in the morning.

Mike, I think much has been covered today. The most important accomplishment was your being here and trying some things for us. It really helped a lot. NL, let your mods do more of this and you, NL, should open up. Let this be a trend and not a one time thing.

Hey Mike, peace.

Mike, I'm trying to understand why you would say something that would cause so much panic and anger with things going the way they are when there was absolutely no cause to do so?

[mverta]

I didn't cause the panic and anger, I was responding to months of it. People have been freaking about this for a long time and I wanted to know why.

But in the end, I did a test and went to bat to get release approval for some proof for you. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were disappointed it was a successful test. Anyway, you're welcome.

Thanks heaps Mike.
Now show us working clipmaps and we'll all go and crack a beer.

[thxraph]

hello,

mverta => is the network render back? and did you hear about a linux RC5 overthere ?

thank's for all these infos !

best regards

[ajlynn]

Thanks for the test Mike - makes us feel much better about the whole issue - but, don't mess with us like that.

[sandykoufax]

Looks great!

Thanks Mike.

[paxreid]

Thanks Mike...
Appreciate you 'going to bat' for the users.

Could you do another favor and run the same scene on the beta rc1? I think that small scenes in beta rc1, with no exterior ground plane (large plane) , would resolve skylight though glass. I could be wrong, but I think this scene may look similar after 2 hours running on beta rc1. I understand you are busy..maybe you can post the scene and I will run it here for the forum.

anyway..would be nice to compare.

Thanks again.

Many thanks for the testing and getting clearance from NL to get us the info. Although I've got tons of requests, and I've been dieing to ask them, I think after today, you need a break.

So walk away from the computers, take a stroll down the street, have a nice cup of cappuchino, watch the girls walking by (give them a wink or two if they merit it), and just relax.......

Breathe....

You've deserved a rest.

This is starting to look promising now.. although it seems alot more testing and coding needs to be done until it's ready for a public release.

But last nights drama class on here should have been avoided, that was not necessary. I'm still curious to why the charade and drama, to get attention or frustration built up and vented out that way.. :/
