I recently started following development here, and I’m eagerly awaiting the beta (and V1) release of Corona. The roadmap lists Q1 as the target for the first beta. Is that still on target? End of Q1 is fast approaching. Are daily builds available to the public yet?
While we are about it: Will the first beta still be free or will there at least be a trial?
I am really curious.
We are intensively working on it. We successfully incorporated all changes from new Corona core and we are working on fixes for interactive rendering now. We expect that first daily build will be released in 1 or 2 weeks. And yes, beta will be still for free.
Great news
Thank for you hard works
Absolutely great news!
Can’t wait to see how you solved material stacking!
Thx a lot for your reply.
Im still getting consistent crashing with displacement materials but finding that generally the larger the scene the more consistent the crashing. Sometimes its fine on a preview scene but bring it in to the main large scene and usually crashes it just before the first pass starts.
Same, can’t work with displacement in larger scene or complexes geometrys.
Im glad its not just me! I’ve been getting some mileage out of normal maps with substance but its not a permanent replacement solution. I’ve lost many hours pulling my hair out on the displacement bug but at least I know now its the first thing I check.
i hope you will solve displacment crash, mainly with substance shader
I am sorry for displacement crashing. This is definitely high priority bug for us. Could someone create the large scene which causes the crashing and send it to us so we can open it and immediately see the crash? We would be very grateful.
Yes i can send u a scene.
So please send me private message with link to the scene. Thank you.
Good Nikolat ?
Yes, thank you for the scene be_rmi. Actually it doesn’t crash on my computer, but I have an idea what can be wrong and I am trying to reproduce it.
Since i got my architecture master thesis comming up and i have to start with my visualisations somewhere next week, i wanted to ask if there is a chance on having beta1 released by then? thx in advance
That’s great news. Thanks Nikolat!
when the new beta with the IPR will be realeased?
I’m going to start a new project by the end of next week and I’m really looking to use corona, but without the IPR I’m not feeling my workflow is smooth enough.
Thanks
be patient. you are not the only one who is waiting for this release!
19 more days in Q1
