just saw that...how is it possible ?? i clicked on his link and had that page....when i click on my link, i have the actual page and even on the old page i've hit refresh, and it kept the same.... funny

..never underrate the power of environment variables

what means ??

the content seems to be dynamic, somehow..
environment variables (e.g. in php) can be used to provide differnet content...

We are going to get more updates over the next 2 weeks which means that an upgrade to current RC5 is not forseeable for this month... is this close to the mark or what??? If it is the case then I will not bother wasting my time playing any further with RC5 as it will be a whole new ball game once the next update is delivered

RC5 for me is unuseable and the clock is ticking

I'll take a wild guess and say that they're not planning for anymore RC's but they're instead aiming for a 1.0 release. But don't quote me on this now as it's only a guess. I could be completly wrong, it happend before

Great features were announced!! I am very excited. But it increased my impatience to maximum... I would like to have it installed...

I have one question about cooperative render. How is ensured difference between single mxi's rendered on various PC's? For example. If i have 4PC's, not in network. I start same render at all ones. Then i will combine that 4 mxi's together. Aren't that 4 mxi's same? Or if i do 4 same renders on one PC, every one will be different and after combining i will get better one? Is there some random seed? What will happen, when i render one mxi then rename and copy that file 4x (for example: file01, file02...) and then combine them? Will I get better result? Is it possible to get better result from same mxi's?

Sorry my english, hope you uderstand my question...

No need to guess, it's already been stamped.

Next release IS 1.0, sorry if my English was not good.

maybe I missed something in this 18 pages feedbacks...

are normal maps available in the upcoming v1.0?

[LarsSon]

This have been asked few times without answer.

In next release we can hide object from camera and still have it visual
in shadows and reflection. Does this give us option top create matte/shadow
materials or objects?

Please answer?

This is very important option for us who are working in vfx field.

Mike shows this feature in his announcement. It's the image with the sphere and the mirror. Great new feature.

[mverta]

In this case, we're pretty much down to questions with answers that are coming in future announcements

...we do have a button labeled Normal Map, though.

Max...buried in this mega-thread I inquired about this. Seems clear from Tom..at least for now.

3. All talk about RC6 has seemed to go away. (A while back, I beleive Tom was talking of a imminent release of RC6...) Seems now that v1 may be the next release. Just curious.

Next release will be 1.0

[Maximus3D]

Well well.. look at that i'm sorry i missed it in this bigass thread. Guess there's no need to guess anymore

Thanks for digging it up from the infinite depths of this thread
