Hi SolidRocks Demo Users !

A new version of SolidRocks is out !

For security reasons, this new build will NOT work with max versions previous than max9SP1.

What's new in 0.85 :
=====================

New things:
===========
- Max 2010 compatible (you need to activate hardware shading in viewports to see realtime gamma changes)
- Vray 1.5 SP3/SP3a compatible (ambient occlusion handling)
- Vray RT compatible (!). SolidRocks and RT works well together
- Less buttons and shorter window
- New render methods
- Basic/advanced GUI (adv.tools)
- Includes the QuickCreate toolbar for fast Vray object creation
- New and less presets : better and cleaner renderings
- Better glossies interpolation (if desired)
- New "Perfect Caustics" option for realistic&sharp caustics
(see www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbulletin/show...ighlight=fun+caustic for more infos)


improvements :
==============
- Separated reflect/refract interpolations for best comfort
- draft, Preview and Minipreview are 150% faster
- now keeps the render panel open/closed when SR is launched/closed
- no more flashing DOS window at starting
- new bucket management for EXR savings compatibility
- added a new "select active cam" for best comfort
- quality buttons are replaced by a slider to gain some space
- Color of selected buttons in SR can be changed for best comfort (see SR configuration rollout)


bugs solved :
=============
- far better glossies interpolation (when on). SR075 made some inversions. solved.
- black pixels/zones in sp3 was caused by "check sample visibility", now it's off. result are far better.
- max 2010 gamma handling is finished as far as I could. users need to activate manually the hardware render to see gamma changes in viewports.


I tried to answer to all wishes/bug trace/remarks you've all made..
Thanks to all private beta testers for their unvaluable help !!

Hope you'll like it !!
