Well no. Radiance publicised it and nominated the date himself.
If they weren't going to meet the date they could have said so the day or days before.
Self inflicted PR fail IMO.

I get that, just sayin... s**t happens

Hello,

We had a problem coming up last minute, forcing us to delay the release.

The release will be there in a matter of days, rather than weeks; it should definitely arrive by next week.

Oh that stinks, but it's better to have it delayed than having a rushed, buggy version so take your time.

I've no problem w/ the delay just make it a stable release.

Jia You!

1st December, Monday, next week....

why don't you release it next year? All of us can wait for an absolutely free bug version.

Releasing it 1st January 2012 is a good marketing move.

OK thanks for telling us Roeland.
We all come back next Monday then to check on progress...
but... its got to be out before Xmas because Radiance will be too 'busy' with husbanding duties after.

not forgetting, many of us will be practically broke AND too busy by Xmas!!

i suggest deploy now or little Archie gets the choo choo train.

actually this post has become quite entertaining like a tv series! you visit once a day and read all sides around the matter, all feelings - theories - ideas

anyway, it's a beta, we can wait a bit more, we keep going with standalone, we don't even know if it's stable yet! no point in flaming for "commercial use of a test version"

keep up the good work refractive team! delays always carry good surprises until now, so i don't mind waiting a bit more

My personal problem right now with Refractive Software® is not the fact that it doesn't release the OctaneRender® for 3ds max®, i don't really care about it, i'm a Maya user. And also i don't see any point in buying other BETA software from Refractive Software®, if the didn't finish working on the first BETA OctaneRender® Standalone.
Right now they don't work on OctaneRender Standalone that i, and many many others have bought... they work on something i will probably never use .

So please... move faster with your new beta software, so you can finish your first beta software .
