Kerkythea developers introduce new renderer : Thea

[neo0.]

My frustrations with Kerkythea were exactly what led me to indigo, but who know, their latest renderer might be different

As I know, all of this can be done in indigo too, with similar or better quality. Well, except may the laser thing. Im not sure, but does Indigo support volumetric dispersion yet?

Kerkythea defenitely brings back memories though.. Spending 2 weeks and producing something that looked like an N64 game and then producing something better with indigo after 5 minutes.

Yes, everyone knows that volumetric dispersion for cool laser effects is the number one requested feature for any renderer!

Anyway, Indigo does support volumetric scattering. (participating media scattering)

I've checked the forum again after a while and I'm impressed by the material system!








One might dream ...

Those images aren't showing for me Psor.

Are you talking about the renderings inside or the material editor?

I agree. The material system looks really neat as well.

Argh, ... my fault. I've edited the post.

edit: And I take a guess there pricing will annoy some competitors as well.

That is a really nice interface that's for sure.

[Zom-B]

I really, really like the layer approach for materials!
Also regarding Interface design... well... comparing with Indigo is no fun here...

[psor]

Yup I like it too. The blending stuff from Indigo is a pita when it comes to complex materials.
Then I've to blend a blend with a blend with a blend ... aaaargh! That's so sad cause the engine
is quite useful. ;o))

Indigo should be more like this.. More drag and drop, more interactive, etc.
