Yes I am using twilighttender for many years now. Most of them are prepared with twilight render and rendered with Kerkythea. I have a couple of old PCs. they do the render work with KT, while I am preparing the new renderings with SU/TWL

So modeled in SU and material/lighting setup in Twilight Render then exported to KT to render?
Any reason not to complete the render in TW?
When I tried it (briefly) many years ago I found the output to be 'harsh' looking but it may have been a lack of time/commitment to properly learn the program. KT was a finer output but when clients wanted animations the time required to process a project was way too daunting.

I am doing a couple of projects at the same time.

I can work on with SU while the other workstations do the renderings with KT

So I am free to work on my other projects.

This is a great idea.
Thank you passing this on - to use the best tools for the job.

Sorry..thought I was all done..but have 2 more questions.
Do you re-import the KT rendered image back into TW to create the pano and are hotspots created in TW or in Pano2VR?
I'll say Thanks in advance.

No no, it is very simple.

I do all settings in Twilight, then I make a special folder "kerky", to put the xml file and all the rest (pics, ies,...) inside. this is a one way folder. after Export everything with SU and TWL is done.

Then I open KT, open the xml. Then I render each scene, one after another. The output is allready equirectangular, because I have choosen "spherical" in twilght.

Be carful with layers. The xml stores the locations of the scenes but only the layers of the current scene.

In term of minutes time's render : Twillight is more /less than KT ?

Again, Thanks
It's been a while since I used KT but I will try it out on a small project.

rendertime should be the same. But the advantage is the independent renderengine. It can still render all night long at a seperate workstation and I can continue modelling in SU.
