A week since the last post, any news?

looks awesome!

Pixero · 19 Sept 2014, 17:14

Is this version based on the same Kerkythea core as last version?

Fletch · 20 Sept 2014, 15:58

Hi Pixero, this version is not based on the same version as in Twilight V1, it has a 25-50% speed boost, depending on render settings and the scene. But in general people will find it definitely faster.

We are putting on some finishing touches, but release will be very soon. Stay tuned.

All the best,

Twilight Render V2 Pro and FreeHobby versions now available!

We have a lot of new features, while still keeping everything from Version 1. We redesigned the look and feel to fit in better with SketchUp and to keep the workspace clean. You can read all about the new Twilight Render from our website, featuring all new content targeting Twilight Render V2.

We are still committed to our goal of making Twilight Render affordable for everyone so we are releasing it at the same $99 price tag. HOWEVER we've also added a new Hobby version with almost all the features of Twilight Render V1, and it's absolutely free!

And for those of you who have bought Twilight Render V1 in August or September (2014), we are going to give you a free upgrade!

Check out http://www.TwilightRender.com for all the details.
After installing, be sure to check out the fantastic new animated tutorial snippets on our website!
And the all new Video Tutorial Series in HD on Youtube .
