[Rafael-Vallaperde]

BIG RELEASE!!!

Thanks a lot guys, keep up the GREAT work!

man, for me it's like a 50% improvement.. and navigating around the scenes exported to the standalone is also much faster ~ I am using a Geforce GTX 780 ~ Huuuuge improvement over 2.0.6

Frankpoolefloating, take it one step further an be able to assign a 0-255 alpha value by surf or object like in Ligjhtwave?

[FrankPooleFloating]

Hey pal, I'll take what I can get.. Let's not put the cart before the horse though. The ability to use an object as an honest-to-god mask is what I want more than anything.. even more than volumetrics and particles. In LW renderer, the identical function is Object Properties > Render > Alpha > Constant Black.

looks like this is a huge speed improvement!
also missing velocity pass(which kind of important when rendering fluid simulation) would that be possible to add a velocity pass?? also a wireframe color pass would be super nice

[smicha]

I can agree with riggles,

For smoother shadows (less noisy) it's better to set path term power closer 0 and sacrifice speed but quality is much better.

[gristle]

Yeah Mr Floating, one step at a time.
It would be nice not to have to run a separate LW setup to extract alphas.

[Silverwing]

Congratulations on the release. I think you did a splendid job with the features!

+1 for a deep image output (Open EXR2)

I also would like to see Object Matte channels as suggested before.

Cheers,
Raphael
