[J_Bug]

Great to hear

Evtim: If possible, in the future, would you please post render times in VRay with your test animations so we can get some idea of how they are working together?

Thanks,

[Evtim]

OK I will post render/model times for some of the future test animations.
VRay is doing pretty well rendering Aura and I use it for most of my tests here

[J_Bug]

Great Thanks very much
It's just something I wonder every time I go back to look at the nice images you've posted so far.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait till the Beta.

Wow, this plugin will Rock, i played with Phoenix to set things on fire.
How does this work in Aura? Will Objects burn similar to Phoenix, just waaaay better looking?

The dynamics look awesome. How good is the Connection to Vray? Can Vray render soft global illumination sub surface cloud scattering? I really hope so. The computers get better and better and we have a few here waiting for cool Volumetric Effects!
Oh another point that strikes me... can you show the max interface? Hope yoo make the interface smart and fast. (I like well though interfaces

Anyway... Good luck with the further programming of Aura!
