Wow Aoktar!

You are a genius!
As far as I can see this is an absolute great release.
Of course you know me... first thing I have tested was the motion blur.
And what can I say. It works splendid! Even if you chance the camera´s shutter it reacts to that... simply brilliant!

Also of course I appreciate that you took my design as reference!
In my opinion its great and very neat and clear.
And the best thing is for those who might not like it. They can simply shut it off

I´m really impressed. Can´t say much about stability yet. But it did not crash once I opened it. (good thing)
So thanks a lot for your hard work. I can see it coming together to V1 very well!

I´m very happy right now!

Cheers,
Raphael

Thanks to you Raphael,
Also for your great idea and design. I have tried to make similar. And i gave a functionality to left mouse click to show/hide the info. And I need your feedbacks to make better.

did you copied octane libs files to main folder? I don't suggest if you have not startup problems. And be sure removed all octane files before install. I found a older message has similar problem. It can be same.

Yes, i copy the file in the main folder for startup problem.
Now i have removed the nvapi64.dll and the GPU work!

Thanks!!!

Great work no crashes so far.

Hey Aoktar!

This looks great! Love the new on screen info. Nicely done. Very useful. And all these scenes to mess around with. Awesome. I think I'm going to be up pretty late tonight with this new toy.

Thanks!!

Alec

Hi Aoktar-

First quick bug report. I'm not able to close the new "GPU Info" box. I can minimize it, I can maximize it, I can even bring up another one, but it won't close.

Thanks

Alec

Well done guys, awesome news!
