..."that's about it for this episode" struck me as akin to an irreverant "that's about it for this day of creation"... :`)

REALLY COOL, ADAM...CAN'T WAIT!

Adam,
This is truly freakin' amazing. Real time lighting and rendering with sky box features to boot. No other program does this that I know of. Please keep it affordable for us poor folks.
Sign me up.

just a quick question adam, will you be able to see the sky box background in a podium render?

I do plan on wrapping up development in March so its not going to be too long after that I can have it for sale.
Adam

Guys,

This month is March so we could be looking at a launch in a few weeks time! I'd be inclined to not ask any more questions and just let him burn the night oil

That video is great, very exciting.

[kwistenbiebel]

That video is a very nice 'proof of concept'.
Great coding Adam !
The background 360° is definitely cool as well.
Is it a 'equirectangular'(lat/long) image or a 'sky probe' image?

The ambient occlusion render method seems really fast and on a textured model the effect is not bad at all.
(still hoping though to have other render engines behind it in a later phase )

Keep up the great stuff!

Regards,
Kwistenbiebel

Quick update.

Website is almost up and running - still working on some backend stuff, but have a look: http://www.light-up.co.uk
The plug-in still has some final things I need to do before I release a free, time-limited demo - you'll be able to download it from the website. Of course it will be Mac OSX (PPC and Intel) and PC Win32. The demo is just like the real product but stamps demo labels on stuff, is time limited and I'm expecting a 2-3x performance increase from optimizations for the final release.

So, bear with us, its almost here. Matter of weeks now - and yes, I know thats later than I stated!
