That's great news! I'm glad to know they've been working hard on V8 and
can't wait to check out the photon mapping and other new features.
Impressive work as always Jason!
Thanks for the info,

Morning all,
Vesa has given me permission to post this to give you a little update,
but wait for Realsoft to make an official statement in the coming months.
V8 is still in development and I have been beta testing for quite a
while now. There is a new Beta release coming soon that will iron out
a few of the photon mapping issues, but I can confirm it is a big
improvement on the current GI system in V7.
You can see some photon mapping renders I have completed below, but
please note this is not the finished release software as these renders
were completed a while ago now. The photon mapping is still being
improved compared to these renders, but I hope you will agree they are
already an improvement on the v7 GI solution even at this stage.
Photon mapping is a lot easier to use too.
I know there are stronger looking rendering engines out there like
Maxwell, but for the price, I think it is possible to get good quality
images and animation out of Realsoft.
If you look at my website, everything in the gallery and showreel you
see has been created using Realsoft. There are a couple of photon
mapped walkthrough sequences in the showreel too.

So while there will always be comparisons to other software, I hope
this pleases some of you to know v8 is coming in the next few months
with any luck.
Have a nice weekend.
Kind regards
Jason
