new preview render ?

Hello friends !

I could hear that chaosgroup showed a very fast preview render on Siggraph ?

Ist that true ?
And if, some more informations about ?

thx a lot,
bernhard

What we showed at Siggraph is a very early version of what we are working on. There will be more information as we progress with the development.

Best regards,
Vlado

hmmm..

aaahhh, that sounds great, maybe a little christmas gift this year ?

hehe… would be awesome,
bernhard :lol:

yeah that would be grate!!!

man, I wish I could have seen some of that. We weren’t able to go to siggraph this year though. Is there video of your demos anywhere on the web vlado?
I’m going to try and be at the upcomming event Oct 10 in Chicago. It looked like someone from your group might be there?

Vlado… you should make a YouTube of it… it was awesome…

yes im really surprised nobody took some video of it at the user meeting.

In fact, they did :slight_smile: Too bad it was posted only on a Russian forum. Seeing the interest though, we can make a short Camtasia review of this development.

Best regards,
Vlado

YES!!!

…please Vlado, do that :smile:

..yes please +1

I’d quite like to see the russian video if anyone knows the forum/has the link.

…any kind of peek would be phenomenal!!.. :smile:

yeap…please shed some light on the poor souls who couldn t be there…like …me :smile:

any links to the russian forum? anyone?.. :smile:

i found a russian forum with some siggraph videos, i’ve only downloaded one due to rapidshare limit. http://3dcenter.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=77165&st=135

the format is .ts, which can be played with vlc. Download official VLC media player for Windows - VideoLAN

I don’t get any video through VLC…

Is there an additional codec I need?

the video start after 5-10 seconds with me.. tried waiting a bit?

i waited and waited and nothing popped up

i have k-lite codec pack and Elecard mpg-2 codec installed.. maybe that will work.. the file which is the (standalone) preview render test is: http://rapidshare.com/files/47680311/82\_st.ts.html

its very short.. but it look great! :smile:

this is awesome.
looks like some kind a external viewer for max scenes with near-realtime rendering with light bounces and everything.
