Released...

Just checking in really. Should we keep testing the RC4 or is the release version different? And do bug reports still come here, or on the main support forum?

The lack of a ‘buy it now’ button might deter sales IMO, especially if people have to send credit card info by email - just an observation.

Lastly - best of luck on the release, hope it explodes!

Hi Chris,

I used the RC4 build for the NAB demo and found a few bugs. So the build that we released and gave to Sales has a few fixes:
*We fixed a crash with rendering live Emitter systems
*We fixed some issues with the PRT Loader Gradient modes we added recently where the wrong channel could end up being used.
*We fixed the “Compute Lighting” option in the Save Particles which was not producing a Lighting channel as expected. A tutorial on baking lighting and relighting particles is coming soon.

We will not post the release build to the Beta forum though - Sales will pass a download link to each customer upon request.

Please note that all evaluation and purchasing requests passing through our system are processed by a person (most of the time by my better half :wink:)
We pride ourselves on great support, and we don’t trust computers to provide the “human touch” when it comes to selling software and solving the problems that can arise…
We don’t request CC numbers by email - we can send a PayPal request so the user can enter his data via the virtual terminal.

Our website is once again being hit by a huge number of visitors, the majority coming through Maxon.net, and Sales dept. is busy. Things are looking good!

Awesome work Thinkboxers, good luck with sales and congratulations on a fantastic product.

Tim
