Hi guys,
here's the 'Next-Gen' plugin. Please carefully read the Documentation before trying to install. It contains important information.
- It will not work with Blender 2.56a or too old svn builds. Please read the Documentation.
- It may destroy data and/or make your files unusable. Please check the Documentation.
- Before asking how it works, please have a look at the Documentation.
- Please do not report problems without properly documenting them (console logs, screenshots, steps to reproduce, etc...). Offenders will be flamed!
Roadmap:
- integrate "Mesh Preview Imager" in World panel. I need some info from RS for properly implementing that, but have no feedback yet.
- allow use of texture from texture panel instead of file name for the environement map
- network rendering (long term plan)
I hope you'll enjoy this plugin and that it'll make your life/workflow easier. Some options/features are clearly only usefull for animations and I hope you'll be able to share your experiences here. It'll be nice if some of you could make tutorials, as I understand not everything is obvious at first glance. In the meantime, there's a Documentation, in case you missed it
Happy blending and rendering,
Lionel
