I must say the R20 file opened in R19 works. in R20 metal material is black in the preview and in liveviewre/rendering window. I'd need help with this issue. available for teamviewer if needed.

2- when will offline mode be available again? At the end of the month I might have to move temporarily for a ...

Hi, I have not read 17 pages, I have just installed test 3 and noticed a new "expected exposure" tab with default value set to 1. I do not know what it controls and the meaning and how it may influence render time or quality. Any infos? It would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have just finished the first interior for a catalogue. Love this engine, it's really fun! Original image 5000x3500 pixels setup was fast, rendering about 5/6 hours on two 980ti cards

Hello, Here is my first exterior shot.

Please let me know what you think.
thank you for ...
