Funny I was on another 3D forum where was the conceptor who announce his product and in one hour the news has made the round of the earth!
That is the buzz (I have made a little part of it

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

LOL, but I get the Euro to $ exchange... we are even.

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:

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA <- is that list up to date?
My old Geforce 8800 GT is on that list - but I don't see the Quadro FX 3500 of my older work computer...
