I'm trying to figure out what settings I should use for this animation. While there isn't much movement, it still affects the lighting enough that I can't use a statically-cached GI solution. I'm new enough to KRay that I haven't been able to figure this out on my own and could use some pointers in ...

Looks like I get to play the "I am a moron" card. :) So I reinstall Lightwave (and reorganize the location of my third-party plug-ins and preferences folder, so this is a good thing anyway) and when I go to install KRay again I notice that there's both a kray and kray-tiger plugin... tiger...

I love the idea of rentable render farms, but even a simple 5-minutes-per-frame animation (5 min. on my quad core imac, HD resolution) winds up costing $218 per minute of rendered footage at 24fps so they're still reaaaally gosh-darned expensive -- I'm looking at putting together a five machine clus...

I've found I can't seem to get nice smooth lighting on flat surfaces lit solely by lumigons with passes set to 1, no matter how many other options I tweaked. 2 is much better but is, of course, much slower. Are there any presets or setups good for animation/high-quality-stills that will work with pa...

Lessee... Mac OS X 10.6.4, Lightwave 9.6 itself appears stable. I'm averaging about 30-40 frames between crashes for rendering an animation (rendering stills gets me maybe 3-7 renders before a crash). It's a fairly lightweight scene, Octree set to Normal. I'm using the Medium settings with the Quali...

I have 4GB RAM, plenty of disk space, and I save very frequently because I'm a former Windows user and am used to frequently-crashing computers. I hit the hotkey for saving like a nervous tic, no matter what program I'm in.

I just purchased KRay and have noticed it crashes Lightwave quite frequently. I'm running Lightwave 9.6 on Mac OS X (10.6.4). It usually happens after 3-4 still frame renders, regardless of settings.
