Hello everyone!

I'm happy to announce that Kray 2.5 is finally released. I know many of you have been waiting for this one for quite a while but we really wanted to make it as stable as possible.

Kray 2.5 brings support for LW11, including the new instancing system. The LW11 instancing distribution system can also be used together with Krays own system in case you want to mix them both. Kray 2.5 also renders considerably quicker and is more stable than any previous release. Network rendering was also fixed so you should be rendering without problems under LW10 and LW11 LWSN.

Check the history file included in the package for more detailed list of changes.
As usual you can download latest update from the download area.

Happy rendering!

first of all congratz.

I get a lot of crashes. I tested instanced scenes from NT content and many of them crash when I use Photon Mapping.
Less problems with Raytracing mode

That's strange because it's been very stable here...
As usual, please report crashes with scene included to bug reporting forum. Thanks!

The shadow catcher node is supported?
Getting instant crash when rendering spyder on beach and trex on garden in lw 11.01 32bit.

Grass and Lw logo scene, kray doesn't render instances.

Yes it does! But for some reasons I also had problems on some scenes then reinstalled everything and most of them (not all) work.

Did you just press render in kray or did something else? After changing to photonmapping I just press render and intances are not there.

I have tested all most of the demo scenes and they all seem to work just fine here.
