Anyway just a question: if it has been possibile to make Kray see LW instances, why it is not possible to make it see Fiber FX? I mean, for a wonderful green or a carpet, maybe it would be more useful Fiber FX than Lw Istances...
Instance from LW11
Re: Instance from LW11
Great job Janusz, really impressive and I can't wait to put my dirty hands on the new update of Kray

Re: Instance from LW11
Those are really bad news. That means it will kill Kray for those of us that we still use LW 10.Janusz Biela wrote:Imho is nonsense make it in Kray. LW11 Instance is so perfect tool...so Kray use it now in beta release.Alek6 wrote:It means that you'll improve Kray instance or just use instance of LW11 with Kray?
And LW 11 instance tool is not so perfect, you need only to read a bit of the problems people is having with it on the NT forums!

Re: Instance from LW11
Problems? Well - it's a new tool, so there are a few (minor) bugs that need to be ironed out; and it doesn't do EVERYTHING, so there have obviously been feature requests. But overall? It's a fantastic implementation, far superior to HDInstance (which was pretty damn good to begin with!) and to Kray's own system, which from my tests is admittedly faster but lacks the extraordinary amount of control you get in Lightwave's version. Frankly I would have been worried if Kray had not been upgraded to work with native instancing, the preview alone makes quite the difference... it's the right choice imho.dballesg wrote: And LW 11 instance tool is not so perfect, you need only to read a bit of the problems people is having with it on the NT forums!
In fact... maybe LW instances rendered within Kray will be faster than the native engine! Ha, that'd be fantastic.

Re: Instance from LW11
was around 10-15 min (are complex geometry with small details so phase of AA are long). Btw instances from Lw or Kray doesn't affect speed - this is just cloning, matter are geometry and engine render.medzo wrote:what were render times?

Re: Instance from LW11
Awesome! Cool thing is we can see them wireframe and even with VPR!
Plus NT just released a LW11 sp1 with instancing fixes.
DP Instance can plug on LW instances. So is it possible to control Kray instances with DP plugin?

Re: Instance from LW11
Any news about the Kray 2.5 release? Come on guys, we are all waiting to use the LW11 istances in Kray
Re: Instance from LW11
Still waiting? Sometimes i cannot understaind Newtek... Kray is the only valid, powerful and fast 3rd party Render Engine for LW and they didn't answer yet...jure wrote:Still waiting for Newtek to help us out on this one...
Re: Instance from LW11
To be completely honest they did answer, but it didn't help any. So now we are waiting for a better answer.talats wrote:Still waiting? Sometimes i cannot understaind Newtek...
