This question may sound stupid but i want to ask this anyway.
Im thinking of bying this awsome renderer, but i have read that 1.5 will be available for both Max and Maya.
The question is: Will the Maya connection come with the 1.5 or will the Maya connection be sold separate ?
I have no idea how you jumped to that conclution from this thread, but you are right about the statement regarding focusing on the standalone after releasing v.1.5
like egz told, the 1.5 is near to release. with awsome features.
after this, vlado and peter will focus on the standalone, which makes much sense in point of view of chaos,
because it is much easier from the standalone, to programm bridges to several other packages. First like told for maya, others we will see.
