Of course they were going to stop development of smallluxgpu and integrate it into luxrender.  So what?  Given that smallluxgpu 1.6 is what is currently integrated into luxrender, (correct?),  and that smallluxgpu 2.0 will be, I don't see the problem here.

 

Quote - I may be slightly biased in some perspective, but if something works and is faster, I'm not one to disregard it. I would definitely use SLG, and it would give me a reason to do more in Blender...

 

I've attached another reason to disregard Octane to this post, and I don't see a problem with non-members seeing the thread.  Paq Wak complained about a bug that "radiance" couldn't fix, so "radiance" revoked his license and refunded his money.  He was better off than me, I didn't get any money back.

 

Quote - Hell, i may download it anyways just to play around since it does look promising.

 

And the next version of smallluxgpu, as a part of luxrender itself is going to have MLT.
