I read the announcement also, and was glad to see Ruby being used as the scripting language. Too bad it appears to be only available in the Pro version.

It's hard to make in-depth tutorials for a moving target, but be free to ask questions at Thea Render forums. When features are frozen for release, there will be more tutorials.

Check out their forums as in the showcase section there are unbelievable things. There is a Plugins section (on the top) with all sorts of free and commercial plugins, too. Also, they have an additional software: "Flashificator" (actually, more pricey than the core itself I think some € 55) which has some intuitive UI for editing everything like hotspots. I have not tried them yet but want to. I am hoping to have a decent (pay) project soon where I will use this software and then I will definitely buy that additional thing. Edit; if you purchase the software, it will be shipped with all sorts of example projects and tutorials, too.

whoa...

adam, the latest developments are quite impressive. Lu is becoming a very complete rendering plugin. congrats on your work. I have not had time to play seriously with LU but I am very anxious to do it. I'll get to it soon enough.

@escapeartist said: Wow! Wonder how good it is? I haven't tried it. (nor do I see myself needing it right now) Thought it was interesting though.

Hi Martin great job with the snapshot thing, thats helpfull. is there a possibility to have Shaderlight run on a "iddle mode" ? on my computer it seems like it's consuming a lot of RAM. therefor, I'd like to run it when not working on SU... in fact I'd like to have both mode : live, and iddle... hope you're fine.

@xrok1 said: seems like your going backwards 1.9 to 1.1 ????? the trailing 0 has no value so you might need to rethink your revision numbering 1.09 to 1.1 might be more appropriate. one would expect ver 1.95 or 2.0 to be next No, the trailing zero has a significance - he's going from 9 to 10 (nine to ten). And application version numbering isn't like normal decimal numbers, the numbers before and after the period is independent. I for instance use versions like 1.4.2 (Major.Minor.Revision) Major number increases in major application changes - like rewrites etc or when there's major compatibility changes. Minor is often increased for new feature additions. Revision is often just bug fixes. There are different practices and norms though.

TIG, After your info i tested a lot, and i have the solution. When i make the pipe along path, i must reverse faces, but i forget before that to explode the group. Then the faces are not reversing. So it works now i have learned another lesson today. And FM in Kerkythea means Face Me. But without your answer i would still searching for an answer, so i would like say to you is my thanks.

Is it supported SketchUp 8?

I think my conclusion is that I won't bother to hook up all the machines to mess with the BIOS for this. cheers.

Thanks so much, Solo.

@mike lucey said: ...Will try it out on the iPad and see how it works. Please post some impressions. I want to know if it has some use. I see that you can make your own layouts too and they have one for Blender and other apps. I don't think that this app wants to replace the mouse rather than the keyboard.

Cool looking showreel.

Gotcha! Thank you Tomasz

Then for fun rotate and pan again, while it is rendering. Move outside, make it a little earlier in the morning. blink... and. This software is amazing. (These last ones are a little grainy, I only let them render about a minute or so, then started playing again) [image: 13Lw_F3.png]

I agree with Pete, iClone's demo at 3dbc was astounding. From swaying vegetation to animated people, they had the auditorium rapt. Some of the lighting effects were stunning and it's also very well supported by James Martin at iclonecertifiedtraining.com. This guy offers some great tutorials. I gave the trial as spin and will add to the arsenal soon.

@marvins_dad said: I had a similar problem. I ended up giving up on them all together. It was nice that you could make your own markers, but for any large model it would offset the model from the marker point that it was unusable. Hi, you can adjust xyz parameters available in the application to align your model to marker,try scaling up or down. for textured model use texturd 3ds format.convert it into textured 3d and then into .ive...or use 3ds ...it will work...
