hehe, yeah I suppose dongles wouldn't be that bad, especially if your only using them for very specific situations.

Marzz: chill dude, your heart will thank you

[Gijs]

I sincerely hope though that we are offered a new build soon that fixes the glass issue.

I sincerely hope though that we are offered a new build soon that fixes the glass issue.

Even though there are no severe crash bugs so far found and the latest build is pretty stable, we will be releaseing an update later tonight with the major bugs found so far, as some of them we consider to be critical. The one with the glass is one of them.

[Gijs]

Thanks Peter, that makes me

[natty]

Correct!! I'm still waiting for it!! So I repeat what I said.
I STILL HAVENT GOT WHAT I PAID THEM FOR!! I'm not talking about the next friggin product! I Want the product I paid for!

And Gracious enough to offer free updates my ass!
Where's the update? The 'Product' as it is, is in a worse state than it was then! So what's updated? I still don't have proper working DR. It's hit or miss whether it works or not!
Internal glass reflections are screwed. Everything is slower than before and just visit the bugs forum for a list of the other probs with it. Now it's promised to be fixed in yet another build. No doubt that will only be available to the internal fanboys. So it's wait another 2 months before I find out that something else is broken and the settings have changed so much (again) that anything I have in progress is going to need to be re-worked!
This is all total Crap. Only in this industry can a situation like this arise. You would soon have something to say if you parted with your cash for the latest Plasma tv only to be fobbed off with a 12" portable and a promise of your plasma screen asp, and nearly 2 years later it still hasn't been delivered.

Now that's funny.

[roppin]

I´m not pissed it´s just that sometimes I get fairly irritated by the way chaos are treating me. I may be misstaken but I think I remember you promising me a portable license ( at least if you read between the lines. )and now I have to pay extra for it! I think it´s a good software and I dont realy know any other, maby brazil or to compleatly convert to xsi and mentalray. Heard of a bridge to gelato from max, but thats to expensive. The final 1.1 or whatever was not what I thougt I´d get when I bought the program, pleace at least admit that. I got a lot but not what you promised and thats why you offered the free of charge upgrade to 1.5. I spent half day yesterday trying to get dr to work, that´s 100 dollars an hour times 4. Thats what it costs me to be interested in a not yet finished project.

So for me, sure, I have been thinking of claming my money back, but I mere have a fiew other ways to go and still I think vray is OK, when it works, and I´m getting old. It´s harder to learn new things. I´m tiered of it!

I think you owe me an apology. just that, and not on demand like now but long ago.

[Long John]

we can buy nothing for an apology and i don´t need one.

what i need is someone who explains, in simple words, how to get this damn DR to work stable.

our problem is not that DR does not work at all, but is so unstable that it is not usefull.

why do i have to delete temp files after any render job?
why does the systems hang after i chancel a job?
why are buckets that fail are not picked up from other clients?

someone wrote one month ago that DR is working well.
i hope that last word is not spoken and that chaos will give DR top priority.

this is a feature we have payed for as we bought it.
i don´t need fur that is for nothing usefull except grass or a infinite vray plane.

don´t get me wrong these are all nice features, but unimportant for us. we have not payed for fur, but we bought vray because of DR.

lightmaps are great but with our renderfarm and a stable DR solution some day, we would not miss it much.

we don´t ask for impossible things only that, after one year, we get what we payed for.

Peter:

Dear Sir,

if you are not happy - you are free to claim your money back.

But I will not allow this type of language here. Did I make myself clear?

It's a shame these damn internal glass reflections ain't!

Marzz.
