About the white lines, with 1.7, when baking you should turn off pixel filter, set it to box mode with 0 radius. that should do it. Hopefully G. will have us a fix soon.

good to hear that, G. must be very busy with so many todos.

Silverlw, what is the best way to simulate glass thickness absorbtion in Kray? surface thickness gradient?

You are welcomed Jure, this problem has been bugging for the ages since pre 1.6 till now, that only now i've some time to dive into G's Kray.ls

and Thanks a lot for your tutorial on 1.7, it is very very helpful!!

... ah, last thing : I have problem with Kray panel buttons and pop ups, sometimes they don't respond at the first time. tiktane358, I've noticed that the problem of Kray interface buttons appear to be not responding is due to the internally overlapping "Kray.ls" separator line (ctlsep) a...

thanks Jure, it is working now.

Hi Silverlw, just bought kray and tried the instancing with null naming method you describe. But couldn't get kray to render the instance. I think i must be missing something. If say the object is called "Tree_01" , then the clone should be a null named "clone_Tree_01", am i righ...

Eddy, thanks for the link, 15k poly x 800, with GI in 31mins, that's great!. wonder if the rendertime scales proportionately to the render size, or faster? Thanks for the explaination Silverlw, I was thinking of something along the line of points/polygon normal instance method like implemented in hd...

How does the instancing in 1.7 work? I'm curious, need to know before purchasing kray. Is it something like hd_instance?

You have to set an output file in the Kray panel (General Tab), the 640x480 render preview is just a render preview. The output file will be your full render size.

Hi Eddy, good to see you here too

i see, i did found out that either way yields the same result - light intensity. but just to reconfirm as i read somewhere either in this forum or newtek's kray thread that johnny_quick once said he prefer a very small falloff and extreme intensity, just curious what's the reason for that, maybe per...

Very nice renders, Johny_quick, may i know what is the falloff distance that you use for all the area lights?

Great! thanks for the info jure. 1.7 will be a buy as soon as it is out.

Will kray 1.7 be able to see an items active/inactive state in the scene editor? would be great to have this feature to temporarily enable or disable objects or lights during testing stage.
