OK, downloaded and installed. Running well so far. The new control over cloud layers is awesome. The layer appears as object in the browser and you select it and then use the move and rotate control to adjust it the way you want. Worked great in a test I did with a cloud front.

The diagnosis buffer addition is extremely useful. You can see all kinds of info on a by pixel basis. Thus it is now possible to easily figure out why a render went from 5 minutes to 5 hours all of a sudden or to optimize things for animation. Attached is an example with one of the included scenes. Shown is the diagnosis buffer with the number of shadow rays. Other options included render time, global illumination, texture and object anti-aliasing and several others. Very useful in my book.

Didn't have much time to try the additions to the terrain sculpting, but the plateau function is excellent for my applications.

Back to playing
