Amazing release as always Andrew, can't believe you're already looking at volumetrics!
-
The effort you are putting into this is something you should really br proud of Andrew!
As I'm using a less that super powerful PC, (AMD 3800+) any speed improvement is welcome.
-
slow, very slow, but then, to be expected.
I may upgrade my gfx card at some point but no doubt that would mean a new key so I'm holding off on that.
It does support OGL2.0 with the right drivers as my LW currently reports OGL as 2.1.1

That would follow actually as even though the model was not high density, the difference between sections was about 50% in terms of poly density.

Ok,
That is officially weird!
Today I booted my PC but didn't have my USB modem plugged in, my 3D-Brush now accepts my key and isn't in demo mode.
The strange part is, the modem driver is there, just not the actual modem. That suggests to me that I can only run 3d-Brush when I don't have my modem connected, or if I got a key to suit, only IF my USB modem is connected. Odd.
Also, tried another LWO object and got a crash straight away, does the fact that I am running "only" a Geforce FX5200 make any difference?
Or is there some "solid" criteria as to what constitutes a model that 3D-Brush "likes" - that is, tris only, quads, no textures, number of surfaces / parts / uv maps etc.?

..closely followed by this...

OK, that's not good, one reason I'm not a fan of "hardware related" keys.
I plugged my LW dongle into the PC in a different USB port than normal after instaling the latest Beta to test the LWO file handling.
Now, not only do I not see a LWO file open, but my activation key is hosed, I've been dropped down to trial mode and my hardware key has changed.
Whilst I can see a major change in hardware might force a reset, I don't understand why a typical windows "oh, you're using a different port" forces it.
Now I'm stuck with a key that no longer matches my reg details.
Once I get my new key, I will once again try to test it, but I am rather surprised my choice of USB ports should play any part in that.
EDIT: ok, found LWO - under OBJ, suggest a more logical file menu, import->sub menu listing available types. Alas, that does not help me with the hardware issue. As I switch mahcines a lot, my dongle and USB modem connect as and where I need them, which can often force windows to re-see the driver.

Downloading now, will test it out as soon as possible.
Buy license version 2 == version 3 for free ???

Andrew, what is the upgrade price for those of us who have had V2 for a while?
