indigo is free, it's sdk costs money. thus indigo is not the product, the sdk is. lux doesnt have an sdk for connecting with software and thus it is not really a competitor. plus, the use of one does not prevent the use of the other, i often use open source software and it's competitors in my stuff.

If you think that that gives you the right then good for you. I personally don't agree. I was simply stating my opinion; which happens to be an unquestionable right.

Radiance is the creator of this site - the forums, etc.

He obviously got permission from Ono, as well.

It *could* have been rude, but it's not

Lux does have an "SDK", well it provides an API for integration into other software products so your point is moot.

Anyway this was not meant to start a war. I was merely expressing me opion about the contents of this thread. I have stated it and I am now moving on.

It was not meant to be a personal attack Radiance.

I think we must simply agree to dissagree on this point. I do however, partially agree your point about the API not being a direct threat.

Ono has given his blessing so my objection to this thread is really of no matter. Additionally my objection to the thread is in no way an objection to Lux itself nor an attempt to invalidate your efforts.

I have to agree with WytRaven - its fairly cheeky to post your advertising here really

Hi guys !
I see the first question arising is 'why another one' ; for me the answer is short : because it's free software (http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html). Knaxknarke, you made a good argumented post, we would like to use it in Lux's FAQ : are you ok with that ?
Greetz, and long life to all unbiased renderers

Thanks, got a bit rambling about everything - but well monitoring technical development of 3d rendering is part of my job (also it's more focused on real-time stuff).

Surely you can use comments of what I wrote in the Lux FAQ. I would be honored

Dont forget that radiance created the whole site.
So little bit respect.

I wish radiance all the best for Lux, and don't forget the great work he made for the Indigo community

Ciao!

Hey Radiance! Nice to hear from you again, I thought you were stuck in the toilet or something

Nice renderer, looks very promising, keep up the good work

I don't think anybody shown a lack of respect to Radiance.

i got onto the site for like 4 seconds and noticed that there were already over 12 posts in the forum. how are people posting in the forum if the site's only been up for a day or two

simple:
the site is *freely accessible* since then

the four developers are from four different countries, so, they wont meat every single day - that means, they need a sort of communication
