Worth a look. New features on Materials! Easy SketchUp overlay!

(Why isn't there a subforum that's just "Rendering Software"? How do certain SW's get a subforum?)

Good question.

I looked at the download site and it still says version 2.

I only have the Hobby version therefore the new stuff is not available to me. I would probably step up to the Pro version if I could use it with Fredo's Animator plugin. In particular, the water materials (and some others) are ver interesting to me.

Cool!
+1 if Animator integration possible!

And rendering of MSPhysics animations would be great.

Yes, Twilight Render V2.5 is available. The Pro version is a free update for all licensed V2 Pro users (but there are some improvements for Hobby users too!). You can find all about it on our website (www.TwilightRender.com) and our user forum (www.TwilightRender.com/phpBB3).

Animator inter-operation is planned for. While it may not be available immediately upon Animator's public release, we hope to follow soon after.

I really appreciate your reply. If I read the documentation correctly, the only thing available for the Hobby version is the new Procedural Patterns. I am not sure what they do for me but I will update and take a look.

As for Animator, I am one of the beta testers so will watch for the ability to test with Animator. IMO, this is great news. For meek, I have been animating a car was and I need some better water/foam materials and your new materials might help a lot. I might be able to take advantage of some of the other materials also.

Again, I really appreciate your response.
