thanks for this mxs. its the first one who render something more than black screen (but black screens renders lot faster :))

what I saw:

1. scene data/ number of emmiters - 0 (strange)
2.preview/mxi - render converge to... black screen :). I dont think so.

but:

its pretty fast. console looks promising (especially Network tab). and a material you did - first one on the left - looks really cool.

I saw a comment "you can use only emitters". Maybe, but, after exporting something from LW and importing to the studio its always shows as "sky disabled". I always use sky, so i think there is 2 problems. My only one scene with emitter I stopped because i read:

1. scene data/ number of emmiters - 0

and saw that render converge to black. So I was sure that I made something wrong. (Now I think I need to try again and be patient)


and final thing - preview in Studio crash it. strange, because in most cases Ive got no problem with this, except of strange effects - in many cases render is very overbrighted. And if I dont set a material (copied from browser) object renders as black, and ive got feeling that all picture is BW, without antialiasing... but in this case I can import this, but not preview...

spec: AMD 2200+, 1 GB Ram, Win XP home.

in this rc1 sky/sun/skydome are disabled, only skydome and physical sky (but not sun) work with the studio preview.

preview when rendering in mxcl doesn't work (or it's not calibrated), so basically you always get a black screen, even when the rendering looks fine.
