Hopefully there will still be a free version.

They're not going to scrap the demo version, me thinks.

A wish for 3.X: material ID output etc. Would come in extremely handy.

Question: will one's entire scene be kept in the GPU's memory?

Correct, the free version will stay with the current limitations.

That is in 3.0. Currently you cannot define a colour for a material, tho (but we might add that). They are "random".

Yes.
To clarify further: only the scene geometry, not textures etc.


We kinda forgot to publish the pricing information on Friday :? It's basically decided, but I reckon Nick gets the final call on putting this out :)

Thanks, I see how this could have easily been misunderstood :)

Hm? But in the video, they were changing the color of the material interactively.

We were talking about a material ID output. :)

OK, so forgive me. My technical knowledge is pretty limited. Would GPU support have a chance of working on a radeon 4250?

Nope, it lacks shared memory.

Has anybody tested how much speedup there is with GPU?
Maybe with some fogy dusty roome scene.

My Nvidia gtx560 adds roughly as much as my 2600k. I first though that it would be adding 2x as much, but I was comparing different modes.

I'm sad to report that the new release doesn't work with GPU enabled on my nVidia GTX480.
All drivers updated properly: CUDA 4.0 and latest drivers for the video card.
Still get a C++ runtime error when the image has to be updated.
