I'm not saying you should tell any deadlines or so, but just some update of what has been already worked on, what we should expect and so on...
Thanks G. and IB guys for doing the great work!
How about little update information?

Hey! I know of what I've heard of the dev progress of the Kray now, but would it be impossible to give little insight on how the things are going, some estimates etc to give us normal users something to wait for

Right now we're trying to finish lightportals. We have also decided on feature freeze. This means that we won't be adding new features which may brake the code instead we will focus on stability and killing all the bugs we can find. There are several more OB's planned and then we can hopefully release a very solid software.

Jure, it is solved the bug of endomorphs with instances?

I didn't tried with displacement maps on world coordnates, but would be usefulk to animate instanced trees?

I have to say, I have not been able to use Kray for months now. the projects for which I need it keep throwing up problems. Mostly with flickering on surfaces in time interpolation mode. I've gone over them with SilverLW but every time we solve them in one spot, they start happening somewhere else.
I've reported exhaustively on them and sent in scene files and everything... I've tried everything i can think of, almost every week I give it another shot. Subdividing them, changing the surfaces, changing every kray setting under the sun, it won't go away. (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gr7iaexxomy here's a good example)
In addition simple enveloped dissolve of objects doesn't work which requires huge workarounds with comping together many passes and so on.
I hope the new update comes out soon, but I'd like to ask if at the same time someone could write a little tutorial on how to use skyportals with photon mapping mode. all my scenes are setup with Lightmapping and I'd need to convert them. In the hope the problems go away in this other mode.
And I would really appreciate dissolve support. It's such a basic function. It's fine if it uses transparency rather than a true dissolve, Lightwave does that too, as long as the object dissapears at 0% and is there at 100% and some stuff happens in between.

Hmm I'm not familiar about what you two have been talking about. But time interpolation mode wasn't tested very much so I'm sure there are problems. That's why your feedback is very valuable. Just post to bug section and I'll take care of it.except wrote:I have to say, I have not been able to use Kray for months now. the projects for which I need it keep throwing up problems.

Yes we will be providing description and a free sample scene along with it.except wrote:

It's on the roadmap for OB9.except wrote:

Hi,
I did a little scene trying to displace instances with a Displacement Map. Maybe it works but I am doing something wrong? I didn't touched Kray on the last month, so maybe I configured something badly.
I think the render can even be faster. I tried to render the sequence, and the plant do not move, not even the original objecct that you can see in Layout has the leaves animated.
I tried to attach the scene, objects and textures, on a rar, but the forum says I reached my quota limit of 1 mb????
