Hi Stefan Yes Vesa and Juha have known my thoughts on this for a while now. I was just starting to feel I was the only one who wanted this area developed and brought up to date with the other 3d apps available. Good to know others support an improvement / new solution.
Thanks Stefan, you are most kind. There are many talented users here and we all take inspiration from each other. I know how valuable the list users and Realsoft have been to me over the years, so it is all mutual. I remember when I first purchased Real3d nearly 20 years ago now )8-/ and saw they had the best render engine available at that level. That was the appeal to me above over all the other features it offered even then. Would just be nice to see Reasloft back up there again one day.

So you and others can still be using RS, and others might come back.. (I see the same thing in Char anim and im/export area....) I also know that the discussion on GI, rendering have been up on the betalist.. Did you or others directly talk to the Meskanens this May , when Juha mentioned in a post 17th of May (replying on one of my "Ignore Testt" threads.) where he said... "We are currently running on a research mode. If anyone has any thoughts about things worth researching, please feel free to share." btw.. I have always been exited when seeing some new stuff from you...! So hopefully the Meskanens will have something up their sleeves so you can keep on creating inspirational images..!
