Sounds interesting. I lost a lot of faith in Maxwell after they messed up their original beta soooo badly. I half expect them to look for every cool feature of this new software and then tweak it before public release so it no longer works as desired.
Chris, mate I can certainly support what you are saying about the earliest beta's being a bit of a mess up! But I guess we need to stay mindful they were then heading into unchartered waters then with unbiased rendering! No other unbiased render engines existed, no proper ruby support for SU, also given the new comers aiming to emulate their model are yet to produce the same image quality or for that matter meet their promised deadlines by almost a year one has to have some sympathies and given support for their breaking new ground.
I'd suggest even the new comers would not be so advanced with apsects like re-lighting and a stack of other features had they not headed the way. And I'd suggest with this new plugin further development in the competition will follow in an attempt to keep pace and again somewhat aim to emulate!
