Downloading I cannot wait to test it with the last release of KRay.

About time... {fx: mutters} 9.5 bah! What were they thinking? {/mutter}

I have the long awaited 9.6 installed however I seem to be missing something! The external renderer tab seems to be missing from the render globals dialogue box. Also when I render frame from Kray, all I get is a standard lightwave render, incidentley I tried Fprime and this crashed instantly!! Has anyone else had the same experience?

cleaning configs usualy helps...

OK juer

tell this now what this "more cool features that we cannot announce just yet"

Sorry Jure, but after performing a clean 9.6 install and kray 2.0RC1, I still get what it is reported here…
EDIT: I have just discovered a rev1 in the ordering section. I am going to try with it.

I installed rev 1 and still get no GI in LW render window after hitting F9…
If I hit Kray Frame then I get GI in kray window, What is wrong?

I'm not sure what you mean with kray/LW window....

What you need to do is:
if you are on LW9.6: copy appropriate Kray.p from "LW9.6" folder to your plugins dir and *.ls from "commons" dir

if you are on LW9.5: copy appropriate Kray.p from "LW9.5" folder to your plugins dir and *.ls from "commons" dir

Once inside LW add kray.p and *.ls plugins and open up Kray GUI and press "Render frame". In LW9.6: if you don't set any output filename the final rendered image will be sent to LW Image Viewer.

I think what he is referring to is that the announcement says that one can pick Kray as a renderer for use in screamer net on a network.

Where do you find this render engine selection list?

You'll find it in LW's render globals window.

Make sure that you are using the 9.6+ version of Kray and obviously LW9.6 as the external renderer is not available on another version of LW.

Sometimes it may take a restart of LW to get the option to display in render globals.
