Hi, sorry for delayed response as I was away on a field trip with students. Yes, but could not find anything.

Cheers Dale...
Not much really of a update. Noticed on mac side SU is asking access to keychain... Hmmm..don't remember before being the case.

I got a look at the Cube printer recently and wasn't really impressed. Their target market is kids, and so the whole system from printer to the software used to run it is dumbed down and not at all customizable. The print quality was not great either.

For a printer in this home user/hobbyist class, I think most people would be better off with a Makerbot, or if you want to build it yourself for a cheaper price, look at a Reprap. If you want to see other options, here's a huge list of them: 3D printers under $1000.

These little printers can't really be compared to the commercial ones like Z-corp and the ones used by Shapeways and other 3D print services. The commercial printers often cost upwards of 100K, and have much bigger build space, better resolution, and better quality in general. The home printers are good for getting quick results for concept testing and for simple low resolution functioning parts.

So it is Metropolis Light Transport. Unbiased rendering takes loooong time to render but it should be accurate. You can always use Ninja to remove the noise if you can't wait for overnight render.

Seriously Roger, I'm going to down to AZ and follow you around for a few days. You always have some cool camera project cooking in the background.

That would be easy, but a bit boring as I am moving slower and slower

Great stuff, Sepo.

Those blue tinted panes cleverly break it up visually. Inspired.

It looks great on my calibrated monitors. A cheap LG 24 and apple led 24.
Just an idea sid, vignette effect could work better as burn color 30% multiply 30%, or similar.

Never thought of doing vignette as seperate layer but why not...sounds quite good.

Glass works fine now. 👍
What confuses me is this casted shadow on ground face.

Some soft shadows would look better, perhaps not enabled for the light source?

Thanks Nomer and Michalis. 👍

Thanks a lot for your help. 👍

I have passed the details ...so it is out of my hands.

Direct download without that trial non-sense is under the support section: http://software.asgvis.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=182&Itemid=480

Well, it is what we committed to do. The idea is to keep 1.x in development while we also work on V2....
At some point we will stop developing V 1.x and that will "probably" happen once the V2 is out of beta.

All versions of 1.x are free upgrade. We will have very small upgrade fee for V2.

Sepo, yes I did get to finally download the beta thanks to Dave at support. But still can't connect to the download page or supodium, wonder if its related to the problem Edson and some other users have sometimes connecting even though I thought I read that it was just users from Brazil that were having that problem. Either way, thanks to Dave and I'm gonna give V2 a tryout today.

mike,
my problem seems to have been solved. eventually i managed to get hold of some tech people from my provider and they found out the problem: the route from my provider to podium's was blocked somewhere along the way (not at the start nor at the end). the solution was to re-route my access. i hope this is a definitive solution.

just a quick render, dry and hot summer day.... a bit pp but no entourage....
Happy new year to everyone 😄
