Development Started

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but that doesn't help us go any faster...

Hey Devin let me try be a bit more positive than valerostudio... hehe
I've been trying out the latest Vray for Rhino and I'm really happy with the RT engine and with proxy objects... Really hoping for those to be in the next release of VfSU! Would absolutely make my day! -
I am not trying to be a Negative Nelly. I am probably the most impatient person in the world when it comes to V-Ray. My love for this engine runs deep and I just like new shiny stuff.
-
oh I know valerostudio, I was just a bit grumpy that day I think. Thanks for turning that frown upside down though
You too Pyroluna, glad to hear you like what you see in VfR. -
Good things take time. That's what I usually tell anyone who is breathing down my neck. My apologies for being a pest.

This will put some sparkle back in your eyes, I just saw the first render from the next update. My, how lovely that billboard Susan looks in the VFB again, how I missed her.

will the new VFSU be RT????
-
We are trying to bring all of the features we added in the latest VfR update, over to VfS for this next update. From there we're hoping we'll be able to develop both products at the same time.
-
this is great, great news!
One thing about versions: licensed users will have a free upgrade, or will they need to buy it?
-
My understanding so far is that we will all need to upgrade. Although a lot of existing bugs will be fixed, this will considered a major upgrade and not just a maintenance release. I'm sure someone from Chaos will chime in soon.
-
I'm not really privy to that kind of info. I didn't find out that the VfR release was going to be a paid upgrade until just before it was released. It all depends on what happens in this development cycle I suppose. Certain features required much more time and effort than others, and have a greater impact on the workflow of the product, so they may have some sort of upgrade fee associated with them. I doubt you will get any answer other than that from anyone here, until we have a better idea of where the product will be upon the time of release (in the middle of beta testing or something like that). You could always try asking on our forums, rather than SketchUcation. I believe I'm the only Chaos Group employee that ever posts here, so this question really won't get much visibility from us here.

Well, looking specifically at VFR - they now have a USB dongle licensing system - and the rhino upgrade was something like $250 during the first month or two of the release, that discount has now ended. I do hope they have a similar upgrade path for current vfs license holders...
-
Dunno, I'm not a big fan of the whole time-limited discount for current license holders. Feels like they're stretching it a bit. I'm not too keen on dongles and having go through local resellers either. When's a dongle ever stopped piracy?

I don't think a dongle is about that - it's about not having to host licensing themselves. Less administrative work for them for when users need to change hardware, etc. Currently - you have to send a support request if you need to change your licensed machine. At least that's my basic understanding.
-
Fair point.
-
Nice cudgel by the way tom
-
I am glad you like my handiwork. Then again, you better ...
-
I need one of them when I moderate this forum once in a while...

Know your tools, Thomas. Moderating requires a cattle prod. You want to, er, stimulate, not maim.
