I was making a general comment rather than directing it at anyone. Sorry if it seemed that way. I agree with you though that speculation doesn't really get us anywhere except maybe fuel more resentment but then I'm guilty of that as well sometimes. It's so hard when visiting this site everyday, expectantly hoping for some news, not to indulge in a bit of idle speculation sometimes to fill the void.hamer66 wrote:Sorry maybe a bit unclear, i mostly mean the posts about the speculation in regard to the OcDS development and what is going on . The development of OcDS has been "difficult" even before the release of DS IraySpectralis wrote:I honestly don't believe that discussing iRAY is detrimental to OcDS. On the contrary it keeps the forum going and we share info to improve our unbiased renders. I view it like discussing iClone/Vue/Poser or Lightwave on the DAZ forums. They are competing products but we use multiple tools and our discussions invariably reflect this. What I've learnt about OcDS I've applied to iRAY (e.g. emissive surfaces) and visa versa. If OcDS was up and running I doubt anyone would feel the need to be so defensive about iRAY. When OcDS is released we'll probably put iRAY away for awhile and explore the new plugin. Until then why not share more about unbiased rendering generally?
I see the Iray vs Octane discussion as a different discussion and agree that is a intresting discussion because they are competing products.
