I prefer a late release than a too early release with a full bag of bugs !
keep going on your good job guys !
we are with you ! (well at least i am)

With the Deep version, will it be possible to use the 3 render nodes to work to work on a single image? That would be brilliant combined with the multicore support.

Thanks

You could certainly do this by using crop regions. We will be working on making GI more consistent across crop boundaries in a single image, so this will hopefully be less of an issue. If you're not using GI then the crop region solution works well even now. You simply have to assemble the finished image in a basic image editor from the separately rendered crop regions. We will not be providing a network system to automatically render single frames over a network at this point however.

EXCELLENT news  ;D ;D ;D

I completely agree that a small delay is better than a rushed product full of bugs.


Better yet  :-*

The date for the beta is the day after I get back from the holidays.
Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast.

Yup, no biggy. Standing joke at an old employer of mine was 'Why do it right when you can do it first?'

I think I'd rather see it right.   :)

NO problum, give me more time to get the cash to prepurchase.
The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

In reference to the section of the announcement about Multiple 3D previews, what processes such as collapsible windows, nestable windows or window docking or other such UI organization will be present as screen clutter could become an issue. I realize that the most likely response will be "It is best not to have to many open at once" but it is still a consideration that could be an issue. Away round this (Could be added in future) is if the preview windows allowed other windows to be dragged inside other windows then selection of the desired preview could be made form either a menu or list-box.

I will have a better refined idea of what (If any thing) should be done when I have used the system that will be in-place and offer my idea/s based on practical experience.

Regards to you.

Thanks for the email update.  This is a no-brainer.  I love it that you guys in Planetside are this dedicated.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

This is great news to hear, no problem with the delay as far as I'm concerned. Like other folks here I would rather see a delayed and give you and your team the time to get it done right. I'm looking forward to the beta and the new features sound cool.

Did you get the email?  If not, have you purchased the package?  If you have purchased it, you would have been sent the email...maybe it's in your junk mail?
