Dear Kray users!

We're putting final touches on Kray 1.7 open beta which is a milestone in Kray development. Kray has been massively improved through 1.6-1.7 cycle and it's safe to say it has finaly matured. The speed improvements from 1.612 version is huge to say the least. There has also been loads of features added, connection with LW improved and numerous bugs fixed.

Here's a short list of new and updated features:

- multithreading

- New GUI
- progressive rendering display
- Better filtering of Ligt maps
- improved photon mapping
- improved FG
- faster and improved AA (new AA mode "random", new AA filters)
- improved blurred reflections
- New time interpolation mode for sharing GI data across frames
- doublesided surface support
- improved octrees
- clip map support
- New tone mapping modes (Linear, exponential, HSV)
- light/dark multiplier
- LW texture compatibility support
- support for scene editro ON/OFF flag
- local oversample (experimental)
- postprocess desaturate
- compatible with LW9.2
- fixed loads of bugs

I'm not a registered user (yet). When it is finally released, will the pricing for 1.7 be the same as the current pricing for 1.6?

No decision about 1.7 final price yet, but for sure it will be more expensive then 1.6. Upgrade for those who buy Kray before 1.7 final will be free.

Will there be a free demo version of 1.7? I never got around to buying 1.6, for various reasons (a lack of funds, primarily).

Who is a registred user? Anyone, who has registred on kraytracing.com or only who already purchased 1.6 or below.

Registered users are all who bought Kray.

Thanks for the update jure & Grzegorz can't wait to have a play with 1.7 and all those great features.
