Tropical Island - to Vue or not to Vue

[tammo]

Wow these clouds look beautiful.
self-shadows, translucent, everything is there.
No need for other plugins besides vray now.

CLOUDS???!!!!!! OMG.

Come on Mr. V - we neeeed SP3!

[Neilg]

Ah, good that you mentioned clouds:

Do they cast shadows? Gizmo controlled? sp3, or beyond?

I could ask questions for a while, do you fancy just giving me a copy instead?

[instinct]

as seen in the example yes, yes and yes :P

[tricky]

The one vlado posted above...

I can't really tell from that how it might work. I thought you might know somewhere with a bit more detail about what it can/can't do (cast shadows/GI/controllability etc). I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

[instinct]

Hard without beeing a tease...yes we do but we signed an NDA hence we can only comment on what is shown/posted by vlado hehe

[Neilg]

Threw me off - If it is sp3, you've kept that quiet. I thought all the features in that were announced and dont remember seeing this.


Really wouldnt mind getting myself one of those nda's...

Well REAL fog is a feature of SP3. It's not much of a stretch from that.

What kind of machine was this rendered on to get that kind of time? Incredible! It's like waiting for 1.5 all over again!

I rate this teaser:

5/5

Those clouds look pretty awesome

How much of a stretch is what I was wondering, is it an actual clouds system made alongside the fog or a series of gizmos controlling the standard fog to look like clouds?

It seems as though clouds might be the final frontier for Vray - although I am sure the boyz are working on throwing in some fire - you know, just for kicks :]

Me want daz clouds now :[

Fire has been going for a long time, since version 1.0 days, it's just slow to progress and never got out of the beta

Vlado said it's still on but who knows when we'll see it.
