it definitely would be the new "level" of creating visualisations, innovative approach to say ;)

gonna buy a license in the coming days...



FYI. i think i've spotted a bug in the VFB. Accidently put "0" zero on the contrast parameter, and turned to 99.0 ...there is no way to get it back to 1.0, neither with keyboard input nor scroller

 It's impossible to set this parameter to "0", including right click or scroll down  (at least I can't).

I think it's quite common.......then you hear complaints from client "why this concrete floor looks so dark?"

Best solution is to avoid worm's eye view or as you said low angles in general shots.

I don't know of any other renderer that hasn't it fixed yet.

totally agree :)

Just for clarification, It's not about avoiding low angles at all :)

You don't have to remove anything, just run and follow the installer guide and You're done. :)

Is there any way of offering a floating license option for the Box purchase in the future? This kind of forces myself and my office to go the SaaS way. I don't mind it for myself, but I don't think my office will want to do that.

What's the problem? Just suggest your Boss to buy (let's say 20  FairSAAS licenses) and pay upfront for 1 year , it's better than BOX.

A7.2 is hardcoded to stop working on 28th. 1.0 will have 45 days unlimited demo, but I'll advise you to buy sooner, to get advantage of our promo launch discounts.

great news Keymaster You made my day.....BTW " I'll advise you to buy sooner" what exactly do you mean by that? in next 5 days? 10? two weeks?

latest report:

I've played with most accessible procedurals (constantly connecting and disconnecting to displacement node during IR) no crashes so far. However I'll let you know if something changed.

I can only make it crash only if during one IR session I plug-in noise to displacement and after that I disconnect noise and drag from displacement in slate material editor into open space and from there load a bitmap!

just as in that video... otherwise pretty stable for me.

I got the same problem when I disconnect noise and connect other map to displacement slot. As my predecessor wrote everything else seems pretty stable.

I did some random tests lately. Semi distressed copper is what I'm trying to create, quite happy with the result so far (but not super happy) I love Daniel's copper BTW.

 When CameraMod is applied to camera it locks the VFB controls, is this going to be permanent in 1.0 version? ......Just asking
