I have an exercise for all of you...

Close your eyes and relax...mmmmm....go back in time and remember the first time our heard about maxwell render.....remember the very first master render you saw..... feel that excitement and try to keep it, now try to relax a little more and think about next week, try to spend some time with you family on monday.... now just relax a little more and think about tuesday, feel the excitement again,like if it where your first time with maxwell.....


you see.... for one moment you just did not think of the bad treatment NL has given you.

This time next limit will deliver, and if they not, well how worst can it get...

By the end of this year we will have version 2.0 for sure, not doubt about that.

Again, thanks to Mverta for the updated info'. However, I feel that since the July '05 Beta release the planned optimised Beta (RC5) offers little, apart from new materials, at the important hit render time.

Take away the updated materials and 'RC5' features less than Beta

We see on Tuesday if it's a happy day.

Class Action Lawsauit?

Are you kidding?

I mean come on.... it's $499 for a pre-release render engine. There was no service level agreement or official contract between you and NL - and additionally, you bought it knowing full well it was a beta version.

Saying crap like that just makes you look reactive and immature.

Let's stay reasonable.

lexpattison: I suppose the 'contract' is determined when someone purchased Maxwell 1.0. When I paid following NextLimits offer it is considered this document to be contractual:

"In the following months, you will be given free access to constant updates, including:
- Maxwell Render Beta Versions.
- Basic Interface
- Basic editor
- MXI viewer.

And finally.... in July '05 you will recieve
-Maxwell Render 1.0 (Full Release Version)"

Have you just asked for your money back?

ricardo: I made the above post in response to lexpattisons' remarks about contract determination. Other than that, I have no interest in commenting publicly on refunds in this valuable topic of Mverta.

Just funnin' y'all. BTW, thanks JDHill, it's an image with many uses!

My only official philosophy:

'If it can't be said with a quote from Caddyshack, it might as well not be said at all.'



...now back to the 'TeraThread'...

If you want a Ferrari you must wait more as one year most times.

...but they'll give you a 'beta' to drive around in the meantime, right?

[knurrebusk]

Please let this thread die in pease!

...but they'll give you a 'beta' to drive around in the meantime, right?

nope, but they will invite you in maranello once it's ready. if you like those kind of things, they will even hide it under a red curtain just for the sake of the wonder of unveiling you ferrari before your own eyes.

[JDHill]

...a red curtain...

...like this?

[rivoli]

eh, sort of. mike's one only lacks the horse.

and page 57's over.

Don't forget seeing caustics in a reflection. I want that too (but it's the same problem, probably need to fix both at the same time)
