Just wanted to say ...

I've been playing with Kray on a scene I'm dong at work, a horribly meshy STL CAD import of a MKIII train carriage (see image) the seats are sub-d modelled. It currently has 8,333,099 polygons, and Kray absolutely nails it! This scene is perfect for instancing but I at the moment I need to see the full layout while I model in the missing parts of the CAD model that haven't been finished (this is where Kray needs some sort of proxy display for instances).

I don't want to post the renders just yet because it's not textured and the lighting needs setting up better, but, my fears of not being able to get anything out of it have gone! I just started off using the presets and then tweaked a few parameters off that and the GI is very crisp, clean and no splotches that I can see so far!

This is an awesome renderer!

I think I'm going to do an 'overview' video to show how simple Kray can be 'out of the box' to help others, like me, who may have feared the amount of control you have and may have been put off by it. More people need to buy this!

Will post renders when they're more ready to show!

Cheers
Matt

Oh cool, thanks for those links to the scripts, will check them out.

Hmmmmm, I'm wondering, maybe they could be incorporated within the instance plugin itself, that would be cool!
