another story with otoy...
is that true..? WTF?! I cant believe it did happened.. I'm so speechless
Stay good and well, legionaries.
Yeah, what the f*ck is this ?!
Btw, what happened to the company founder (Refractive, not Otoy) ?
Regarding F-storm.
What I like:
Karba is fast. You ask him, you get the feature next-day.
They have good material, after it was requested by users. Now they have correct fresnel and even glossiness attentuation towards edges. Very cool.
Cool glare and tonemapping. Good to see this being priority :- )
What is OK.
It's not fast, c'mon, but not slow either. Pretty much like Octane, the interior GI is still slow. Sometimes a user will post "2 minute !!!" render only to be followed that actual, production quality 3k+ interiors are still 1 hour + even with 4x Titans. But Titans are still cheaper and more stackable than CPUs :- )
What I dislike:
Every properietary crap. No support for 3dsMax instances ? SERIOUSLY ?
No normal map support, or any plan to. SERIOUSLY ?!?! Big NO.
No support for 3dsMax physical camera but new F-Storm camera ? Nobody wants no f-storm camera.
So it's pretty damn good in some areas, and pretty bad for any actual stable production on others. Will watch cautiously.
