As for it being fixed, I thought he said it "was going to be fixed."

Yes, because I couldn't quite remember the original issue, but then I looked it up and remembered that we specifically fixed it.

Best regards,

I don't know what you mean by "proper writeup." A group of us discussed this over a year ago:
http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbu...365#post403365

As for it being fixed, I thought he said it "was going to be fixed." In other words, it still hasn't been implemented yet unless you can show me otherwise. I bought it and assumed it would be corrected shortly afterwards, given Chao's great history on adding features and fixing bugs, that's why I didn't bother asking for a refund back then - plus, I was more than happy to support them. I thought all of these efforts were going to go into the next version so I've waited quite patiently. Over a year later, it's still useless for a group of us.

lol beestee. I was being sarcastic but to come to think of it, it actually isn't a bad idea lol...

This is the last I'll mention it.

Vlado already said it was fixed. If it's still not in sp2, maybe doing a proper writeup would help him fix it instead of going off on one.

[smyszko]

If you are satisfied with it, and used it successfully, why would this leave a bad taste?

Best regards,
Vlado

It's simply because the upgrade policy makes me feel that I was foolish to be an early adopter of RT, and that if I had waited I would have gotten the product for free as part of the upgrade to 2.0. I realize that rationally, I could choose to view the cost of RT as buying me 18 months of early access to the tech, but emotionally I feel just a little bit cheated.

Either way, it's not enough to make me even consider a different rendering engine. It's just that when I reach for my credit card to pay for the upgrade it'll be with a slightly heavier heart than I would have if I had received a discount for already owning RT.

I see that those that bought the summer bundle, vray + rt + pdplayer (discounted) get the 2.0 upgrade for free. I purchased each separately, which no doubt cost me more, and there is no option in the upgrade scheme for this? I totally can't wait to see what you guys put into 2.0, and will pay whatever you ask of me, but it would be cool to get a discount for having purchased all 3 of these (heck while you're at it I purchased Phoenix too!).

lol beestee. I was being sarcastic but to come to think of it, it actually isn't a bad idea lol...

This is the last I'll mention it. You'd just think there would be a little bit of a token break/consideration (even if it was only $100) to those that had made the RT purchase originally. I'll end my rant. Think it's been beaten up enough by now.

...maybe there should be a "donate now" button somewhere on this forum and see if you talk the talk or walk the walk.

This wouldn't be a bad idea if they could track it and know if you have donated enough to cover an upgrade or full license, that way you could effectually put a future release on layaway when you actually have the money to put towards it to invest in them. It would also make it easier to get that personal copy I have been longing for but just cannot dig up the funds for.

Oh well, maybe I should just start up my own personal VRay savings fund.
