Is it necessary to start another (of many) new thread for each minor update. What not a single thread to discuss this ? If you want to note a new version just change the thread title.

Sorry about that, I didn’t know I could change the thread title. I’ll keep that in mind for the next posts.
Looks really nice. I’ll have to give it a try when I get some spare time!

Also, FluidRay RT forum has been updated to a slick and modern discussion board, Discourse : http://discourse.fluidray.com
This is a real time render?
is there any way to use blender game engine, with this as the render?
is it openGL based or?
FluidRay is a path tracer, it uses Embree kernels. It’s realtime in the sense that it renders in the viewport progressively, updating instantly with edits.

you are competing with cycles, which is integrated and free. What are the major points that make this better?

Listen to blurymind
Switching to a 3rd party renderer is hard very hard
you have to compel us
Tell us why it’s supposedly better than cycles
Because despite Lux render being more established than cycles and having more features, We are not using that because we don’t like switching to 3rd party renderers
So what do you guys have to offer?

Firstly, I think it is better to edit the first post to have the latest release news, and change the post title accordingly.
