Tiles, I own an Amiga600, and recently upgraded that machine with a CompactFlash hard disk and a Wifi PCMCIA card. And I still can find developpers making useful tools to run on that 20 years old OS.
So why tSCommunity could not survive to the corportate death of its favorite tool ?
Heh, i once had an Amiga 500 for a month or so, but sold it then to buy a P166 with win 95 instead. What about you? Do you still work with your Amiga? Or do you use Windows now instead to do the work?
It`s not that i dislike tS or Amiga. I still work with tS too. I even keep the Workspace Plugins List up to date. But you have to face the facts at one point. The remaining bugs are killing me, day by day. And there is no hope of relief. The bones system is fubar and more or less useless. The available render engines are outdated and/or lack of functionality.
A VRay pipeline to a full, not limited VRay solution sounds nice in the first moment. But who will buy a 600 dollar baby for a unfinished abandoned software? Half the price didn`t sell good enough when trueSpace was still in development. They stopped selling it because of exactly that ...
All things that are worth thinking about when thinking about to plug tS into new renderers. Because its a heck lots of work. The Yafaray plugin has shown this. Work that may be for the birds. Because you can count the potential users for it at one hand nowadays.
Nevertheless best of luck with the VRay plugin here. Just don`t wonder when the response is not this big as expected. That`s all i wanted to say
