          Regrettably, I got an ATI card, so I can't take the demo for a spin when it's out. Keep us posted, will ya? πŸ˜‰

            I was too slow.

                    Remember the Hypershot hype?, I'd like to see some archvis renders and work-flow before totally jumping on the bandwagon.

                      LOL ain't that the truth!! I'm really excited about this software. Hopefully it can handle some polys. Realtime unbiased that can run fast on my laptop is a perfect solution for me. Time will tell though.

                        GPU based interactive unbiased renderer. The video gives a good idea of what its all about.

                                I believe it will, see this render:

                                http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2691/iguanaoctane.jpg

                                Rendered with displacement, 3 million+ polygons

                                I heard that the developer is ex Luxrender/Indigo btw.

                                    Thomas, do you have a second PCIe slot? if yes get yourself a second card, run you machine with ATI card and renderer with Nvidea card.

                                      There seems to be a efforts to make Lux render port to OpenCL (nice timing comparing to this commercial product of radiance (former Lux render leader)). I bet there will be other low cost GPU renders available soon.

                                          Ahhh, but it was Remus' birthday yesterday so his reactions may not be a quick a normal πŸ˜„

                                          PS: this comment was referring to the topic that Remus started elsewhere. I'll leave it.

                                            Looks like we are at the threshold of a new era in rendering, it's about time the awesome power of the GPU got involved.

                                            I believe one needs the Cuda sdk in order for this to work, which may make it a little tricky with Mac's correct?
