May I know how is the usage of the "Exclude from Vstack for Kray?" Just for glass surfacing or anything have Refraction? And if the Specular and Glossiness still in use since the Reflection + Blur Reflection + Color Highlight seems do the work. Sorry for me noob question. Exclude from Vst...

No there is no such deal in place. However upgrades will be available at discounted price.

Hi, everybody! I have encountered on a small problem. I was doing some studio interior tests. For lights I used lightwave's area lights for better shadow contact because lumi polygons just dont give nice contact shadows. I had to use Trace Direct Light Reflections option because if not there are no...

Would be more expensive? Planning to buy my own personal copy, not sure if I should buy a copy now or wait for KRay 3.0

Nothing has been decided just yet but I think the price should stay around the same point as it is now.

There is another option you can try for good GI quality: use area lights in windows to get good light and shadows and turn FG settings really low (check attachment). This way GI will be basic but smooth and area lights will give you needed shadows.

Would be good to have some early screenshots of what's being developed. Besides making a good program there's good marketting and hype. WIthout them a good program is not going to gain users or interest. There's so many new renderers coming out and competition is so fierce. Iray, octane, final rend...

It was most likely added in LW10 or 11, not sure.

Here's an idea:
use multi switch Material together with Time info node (can be downloaded in db&w tools pack).

Bigger renders please!

Well kray has very fast GI, much faster than LW. Also raytracing reflection blurring is much faster in Kray. I don't think there is much you can do in LW to achieve that. I think you should search newtek forums to find out how to setup materials to make them render faster with LW.

Hi guys! I practiced a lot since the last time I posted a render, for that reason I wanted to show the final result :mrgreen: I know it's not perfect, but I think it is much better than previous renders Sorry for my english :cry: Greetings to all! http://i.minus.com/ibitzNRAWXVrz6.jpg if you can no...
