Thanks for the demo version PhilBo. I have a cuda supported graphic card. I’ll try it now. :slight_smile:

Too bad this will not be free. The Blender folks need to give some serious, serious consideration into GPU rendering.

So what if it isn’t free?

They are charging about $140 for a license during beta. That is an extremely good price for something like this.

Seriously guys, people aren’t just going to come code everything you desire for free, people need to pay bills and make a living.

To avoid wasting the time of many peoples it might be a good idea to mention in the thread title, or at the very least in your post, that the demo available now is windows only.

Good luck with the project.

I updated the post. Thanks.
