Click the link to see some images made with the volume primitives I'm working on. Since the renders made with the beta version look quite good already, I wanted to share them with you.

Looks amazing! When are you planning on making it availible?

It depends how well it goes. I'm currently testing the animation, and if everything works fine, it should be available sometime this week.

Those look really great. What kind of render times do they generate? Heavy hits like blurry reflections or high quality GI? mdc

they render quite fast. The fire movie I added in inagoni forum rendered in 23 min for 4 seconds. That's less than 15 sec per image.

How fast is your CPU?

It's on a 1.8GHz laptop. It should be twice faster on a recent desktop machine. The figures I gave are from the beta version and can change. I just did another render of a single frame of this movie, and it took 12 sec. Julien

well, I really need a cloud and fog plugin, with light interaction; the clouds must cast darker shadows and the fog must react to light, so that rays can be produced combining the two. by using realistic sky. Will the plugin have this feature? Johannes (cajomi)

This new volume primitives interact with the ligh. But due to a Carrara limitation, they just interact with distant lights (this include distant, sun and moon lights). In conterpart, the rendering times are kept very low. And the shadow color and intensity are fully editable, so even with a brigth lighting, it's possible to have light shadows (or the oposite).
