Appreciate your response. Look forward to future updates

does the popup go away if you disable skatter from loading at startup?

Not for me ... ?!?

Alan has a great point about DMCA requests.... They might not always work or they maky take some time but it just might do the trick.

That's a good list Fredo. Many of those are on my own personal wish list as well.

There certainly isn't a shortage of things to do. The hard part is figuring out where to start. :s

you should put something similar to a bump map with a black background in the perpendicular slot of of fresnel map, that will give nice reflection effects on the leaf and no reflection to the transparent bits

RT generally works instantly on the lighting/ camera position/ material definitions. The mesh has to be exported again if you make geometry changes to objects in the scene ..... However, I think a CUDA card will be on my xmas list. 😄

have a quick look to the whole scene and lighting is still "magic", considering i spend the most time in setting to properly place the camera, adjust sun/lights etc..
and i just got a cuda card so.. can't wait! 🎉
but, if one can't see the proxy group in the viewport or move it in rt preview, how the placement/snapping of this object will be fine-tuned?

I don't know how exactly RT works, I'm just saying the update might take longer than just simply pressing the button and going. Proxies are definitely visible in the RT viewer, I just have no idea how responsive or not it will be.

@Devin
Too bad about the lack of GPU rendering for RT. But knowing that DR will work is good news. 👍

@Pete: thanks for the recommendation ☀

We typically will handle licensing related issues within 24 hours, but instantaneous is much faster!

Actually, you're near-instantenous already. I had license issues today. Solved in no time, thanks to the dynamic duo A & K. I was quite impressed.

That said, the Mac version's UI? Needs work.

vyonyx strikes again!

I viewed both of those youtube videos. Thanks. Still insufficiently informed.

Mate I normally find it quicker to make materials like that rather than hunt them down. A few minutes in PS rather than an hour on the web.

Sounds like very good news. I hope the timeframe from the release of the Rhino update to the release of the SU Beta isn't too drawn out. In the meantime, I took advantage of the Maxwell promo and bought a Suite with 5 render nodes at 30% off.

Thanks all for your help

IMO there's a big difference between a commissioned project (which should be charged per estimated hour) and a "free" image. And also if they want to license it for a single project, or to buy the copyright.
And there's also a difference between an image used for a commercial project like a brochure, and one used in a book, magazine etc.
I've never charged anything for books, magazines etc, except for one 3D/trueSpace image I made 15 years ago which apparently is still floating around on the net (just found it on Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photos/49503103054@N01/3607124/in/photostream/ ) 😉
It was very small and old, so I charged around US$100 for it for use in a year book/report about a year ago.
If it was for an ad or something more commercial I'd probably have charged more.
For a larger/newer image I'd probably charge around $300-500? (and keep the copyright of course)

nice piece of architecture that I wouldn't expect in New Zealand. 👍

Australia has some brilliant Architects yet I know myself what I see coming from New Zealand they are becoming FAR ahead of the rest!

We get a lot of NZ Architectural publications in Aust and these have become my favorite collectibles. The little beach shacks (bachs?) are some of the most well considered small spaces you will witness.

@ HOLMES - mate you have achieved AWESOMENESS level. Well done mate!

My only crit would be a little more DOF in some of the images, this would help to highlight your points of interest!

Again inspiring stuff mate!

WOW thanks guys

Sorry I didnt reply earlier been very busy.

There are some gold textures here.

Your all STARS ☀
