I got it a couple of days ago and am busy integrating it into xsi (max and maya users miss all the fun )

From the little i've played with it all the typical baking/passes you'd want (from a game dev perspective) are easy to set up and fast. even with the no multithreading limitation of the free version it's still one of the fastest render engines i've used yet.

good move on nvidia's part i reckon

Hmmm... sounds fairly good so far. I'm gonna dl it and see what I can see. Which won't be much until all you smarter people tell me what I'm supposed to be looking at.

[edit]Sorry, forgot to thank you for posting this Daz. So thanks. [/edit]

Hmm... after testing it out, I'm assuming you have to have a Quadro FX or it won't work?

basically shader model 2.0 and a nvidia is needed at least.

Doh, didn't see that. I have a 7800 GT though, and I get some odd results. I've been trying the Vasefield example and get this...



Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
