OK, it is funny that almost everyone mentioned SSS and not the new caustics! Fast and accurate caustics is a great addon for close-ups and for pools...
Nice announcement Nicole!

I think Fryrender leads this battle 8-3


I hope we'll see some mind blowing stuff like SWAP tool etc. ..I hope.

For pools I suppose that NL should resolve the sun/pool/caustics issue first. The only unbiased render (that I know) wich solve this is thearender:

and

Hope NL can solve this too

Just kidding. Everyone's opinion is welcomed.

Oh well, opinions will always differ.. this looong wait for 2.0 is atleast easier for you guys Hervé and Bubba since you already got it to play with everyday. The rest of us lost souls who don't have it will have to suffer the looong wait stuck in limbo until the day NL releases it to the houds.

Btw, i believe the Swap tool can not be seen as a part of Fryrender since it's sold as a separate module for X amount of cash.

Well, if Fryrender users have SWAP, then we - Maxwellians have RealFlow instead
Don't get me wrong, but SWAP is a standalone software you still have to pay for.

Max, if you're really desperate, there's Siggraph coming - go hijack NextLimit's booth - it's number 2919!

There is a new a announcement - ThinSSS looks great!!!

I'm just saying that MR is useless for person like me. I'm not an artist and my clients don't give a s*** of sss. They also won't wait 20h to get some simple rendering.
And oh yeah.. sometimes my clients don't even wan't to get photorealistic stuff - they need ideal commercial images. I think I won't update my MR Perhaps I'll spend my money on Modo 401.

Yeah, we get it.

No kidding.

Maxwell Render is not for you, or them.

This is wise. Spend your money on other things. I might recommend you spend your time somewhere more useful, as well.
