[ARCHIVE] Pre-1.0 Daily builds

[pokoy]

Just a quick question, I am using the 2012 and 2014 builds from the latest stable daily folder '2014-10-02'. I've noticed here that it's recommended to install the 'Corona daily build SOA1.exe'. What's different in that one? I had no startup issues and things run mostly fine (besides two crashes), that's why I'm asking.

[Ondra]

the SOA build is a build we have distributed at the SOA event. It is not special in any way.

Ok, thanks for claryfying!

Im sorry keymaster for being anoying in any way, iv already send you a PM and i sended some emails, with no reply wath  so ever, are you having some problem in sending or creating the activation codes for this last build,.... i really wanted to take a ride in this one....
im i out ...???  for any chance.. please send me a a PM or post a reply ... just to know what is my "position" in this one ....

[Ondra]

When there is no reply, it means the application was not accepted - probably the reasons listed were not compelling enough, sorry.

I have a question about the Precomputation setting in the latest daily builds.

I understand what the 3 different options do, but I can't seem to find a way to only calculate the secondary GI by itself, so I can then load it from files as part of a full render ?

I assume that you don't have to do the full render first, to save the files, and then do a full render again while loading and blending the files?

Thanks!

Does anyone has any scene with a lot of noise from highly directional/IES lights? Can you share it with me?

Hi key master I have a question about: New UHD Cache for Animations

Is this one faster and more accurate than HD Cache with less flicker? Or what exactly is different?

[Ondra]

we have still to make the cache, so I guess we will see how it goes. But the main goal is to make it usable with animations, and we are confident we can make that happen.

[juang3d]

Do you have in mind just a camra flying or a complete animation cache system so we can use it with complex characters that make use of SSS and such things?

Cheers!

[Ondra]

complete animation would be nice, but we will probably start just with camera anim

please try hard to deliver a complete cache system for animation... even jobs that traditionally were just camera movement, these days are full of other things moving, curtains, leaves, water, snow, people, cars anything.  anyway, massively looking forward to future updates!

Thanks! This is what I was looking for! I had written another post somewhere but this answers my question. Is this available now?
