Hi,
I just have read instancing tutorial and is like very not up to date, I mean, now instancing in KRay is so much easier. But text is still very helpful. I have one problem, http://www.kraytracing.com/wiki/Basic_Kray_Instancing plug-in seems to not be on-line any more, can someone post it here ...

cheers!

Now, looks much better (but I had to fight with UV maps - there was only one, so clip map (as being per object not per surface) did not work very well.)

Now I am trying to do something similar to Vue (just much cheaper and faster), wish me luck!

PS Can I have NoRender Flag on KRay object ...

Just keep basic setup:
diffuse for leafs: ~70%
reflection 3-5%
translucency 30-60%

btw: I ...

But I doubt that LW is 'gamming' them.

You just use colours in the LightWave, it is not getting converted, is it?

From the manual:

Kray qwlf plug I think linearize all lights, textures, etc.

Do you need to linearize lights? Damn its confusing.

...do I need to use it here? In LightWave HC, the plug-in?

Hi,
We just installed KRay and looks like LW renderer got magically replaced by KRay one. How to render with native render engine again? I have 'normal' Render Frame choosen on F9 button...

How much was it, because I do not remember?

Will I, in case commercial job, be able to change the licence by just 'topping up' to full price?

Cheers
