Survey update
| |
A few more users sent in their survey results and have changed the outcome a bit. Photons and radiosity,
Isosurfaces as well as Bezier editor improvements moved up a notch.
Only 18% of the registered users that we emailed, answered.
The answers were evaluated as follows :
- the first feature mentioned was counted with 2 points
- all other features with 1 point.
This resulted in a distribution as follows:
| Animation improvements: |
  
|
| Mesh Editor: |
|
| Blob Editor: |
|
| UV Mapping support: |
|
| Photons, Radiosity: |
|
| Convert primitives to mesh: |
|
| New textures: |
|
| POV file Import: |
|
| Isosurfaces: |
|
| Bezier Editor Improvements: |
|
| Mesh Import (3DS, OBJ): |
|
| Sphere Sweeps: |
|
| OpenGL Texture Preview: |
|
| POV script object: |
|
Animation seems to be in high demand :-) And it seems you all want to
see Moray offer some triangle mesh editing capabilities. And, of course, the blob editor.
Thank you very much to those users that answered. We will concentrate our development accordingly.
As far as the OpenGL part of the survey was concerned, the results are as follows:
| 3D Hardware, using OpenGL: |
|
| No 3D Hardware: |
|
| 3D Hardware, not using OpenGL: |
|
If you have any comments about the results, feel free to let us know.
As previously stated, we will wait with the 10 free upgrades until the upgrade is
ready, so anyone that hasn't sent in their survey answers yet, can still do so.

Moray V3.3a Maintenance Release
| |
We have made a small maintenance release available on the Downloads page. It fixes
a few known bugs of V3.3 (Build 7015) and fixes the radiosity issue when using POV-Ray 3.5.
|
|
| |
Mailing To Registered Users
| |
We sent out a mailing to all registered users that we have an email address for.
We had about 140 bounces, so if you did not receive the mailing, please
let us know your new email
address.
|
|
| |
Yes, we're still here!
| |
We would like to extend our apologies to all our loyal users for the lack of updates to the site.
We have been contracting out of house and so have been doing email and newsgroup support only in the last months.
|
|
| |
Object Library Updates
| |
Unfortunately, the stream of new objects seems to have dried up. We haven't received any new objects for quite
some time now. If any of you are interested in contributing to the Object Library, please feel free to contact
us.
|
|
| |
POV-Ray 3.5
| |
With POV-Ray 3.5 just around the corner, many of you are wondering whether Moray will be enhanced to
take advantage of the new features that will be available in POV-Ray 3.5. And the answer is "Yes!", it will
be updated to support some of the features that were added in POV-Ray 3.5. We are currently looking at
adding UV Mapping support (and it's looking good).
If you would like to see certain POV-Ray 3.5 features supported, please
let us know what they are. This will help us decide
how to prioritize adding the features.
Note: If you are currently using the POV-Ray 3.5 beta, you may experience a slowdown, because POV-Ray 3.5 now
uses radiosity if it is exported to the scene file, whereas V3.1 only used radiosity if the command-line
switch was given. Since Moray always outputs the radiosity block into the scene file, you will always
be rendering with radiosity.... we might release a Moray V3.31 update to correct this behaviour if there
is sufficient interest.

Many of you have downloaded V3.3 Beta and requested passwords, but not many have reported problems.
I hope this is a good sign! If no more bugs are reported, Beta 1 will be the only beta version
of V3.3 and we can release pretty soon.

cards speed up those redraws.

Another month goes by
| |
Not much news at the moment. We are working on the plugin system with a 3rd-party developer
to make it easier to create an animation plugin and it is looking good. Once it is done
(and that's still quite a ways away, so don't even ask about a release date), it should
finally make animation with POV-Ray for us
"POV-Ray Scene Description Language"-challenged artists a whole lot easier.
|
|
| |
IK Tutorial
| |
Just when you thought it wasn't ever going to appear....
We have made a tutorial on using the Inverse Kinematics on an object. Read it here.
Thanks to Andreas Lagotzki for checking it, making the screenshots and adding the simple sample and the chain link sample.
|
|
| |
Office temporarily closed
| |
Our offices will be closed from the 4th of June until the 21st of June. During
this time we will not be able to process registrations. You can still use the
registration forms and the credit card will not be charged until we process your registration.
|
|
| |
News update
| |
Well, time sure flies. More than a month with no update.
At the moment we are working on an animation plugin with another author
which should be really useful. We haven't figured out yet whether it'll require an interim Moray release
or not, since some things are hard to do at the moment and there are multi-threading and MFC issues
that are making life a bit more difficult than it need be.
|
|
| |
FTP Server
| |
The incoming directories on our FTP server were not accepting files recently. They are now open again, please
feel free to send us any interesting MDL files you have.
|
|

Moray V3.1 New Release
| |
Due to some bugs that were not found during beta test and during our final testing yesterday,
we have uploaded a new version, Build 4196. It fixes a problem with Copy-Paste and with the
LensFlare plugin.

Moray V3.1 Released!
| |
We never did say which timezone we were referring to when we said late Tuesday (we meant Hawaiian time<hehe>).
Seriously, though, with only a few minutes to spare (in our timezone anyway), Moray has been uploaded and is
ready for public use.
Unfortunately, we've had to make a bit of a compromise with the Help file, it is not entirely
up-to-date and not perfect, but we thought it would be better to release and update the help
file later.
To register, please wait a day or two until the secure ordering script is updated.

Where is Moray V3.1?!?!?
| |
It's past mid-December and why has Moray V3.1 not appeared? Sorry for keeping you all waiting
but you'll be glad to hear that the Beta test is over and we're busy finishing the help files,
updating the website and preparing the installation, so we will be releasing really soon.
We think late Tuesday, the 22nd of December is a realistic release date.
