Hey Guys...

I updated all my 4 licenses to v3 a few weeks back, but im actually still on v2-1.9, due to the Material Conversion issues...

Id like to know of the people that are using v3, how stable it is..seeing that its still in test mode? and yes i know the risks :), but id really like to start testing out VDB and such.

Just my two cents.... I use 3.14 in "production". Stable, No problem, fast in interior scenes. But I do archviz...

Are you doing any animation? We also do archviz, but very animation heavy. Heavy scenes.

We've got 14 licenses and I've got my finger on the button. I just keep waiting till the feedback chain continues to get more positive results...

We created a new library of materials once we switched to 2.16a.

We were having conversion issues, so we just made new materials.

I know it's a pain, but it's really good practice if you have newbies. =)
