Kray RC3 released

[jure]

Dear Kray users!

New release candidate - Kray 2.0 RC3 - is available for download now. Many bugs have been fixed and optimizations added. We think it should run even faster than before.

This include:
- some crash fixes
- new buffers Object ID, Surface ID, Normal, luminosity, expanded Z-buffer with options for limiting range
- raytracing optimizations
- LW render-Q support (you need to add finishclose; command to KRay tailer to force closing of Kray render window on frame end)
- dissolve optimizations
- blurry reflections optimizations
- HDinstance crash fixed
- some node problems fixed
- some mac fixes (intel mac is still a bit slower and we will work on this in next RC)

Please continue to report bugs so we can make the final release as stable as possible!

As usual you can download latest release from your kraytracing.com account.

Happy rendering!

Kray team

Oh joy, great news i could use some speed right now

It was getting rather quiet here lateley?

I was using rc2 for a big animation video using butterfly..
I switched to rc3 and it was sensibly faster (25%) than rc2 but i had lot of problem with butterfly.
probably it uses more ram and I have lot of crashes with the render nodes..
I switched abck to RC2 it takes a bit more but everything works fine...

any suggestion?

Any idea how much longer before a demo will be released?

Well we are wrapping up the final RC and working on the new web page. I can't say for sure but hopefully in the next month or two it should be out.
