Cool! Thanks!

One question (just tested): have you guys a little time to fix the materials' alpha map not being rendered correctly in alpha render mode? It's a little boring to manually defringe all the trees :P

Hi Pibuz,
I will add this one to the TODO list.

Action wich excludes the sky layer from rendering (for space and custom atmospheres situations). I guess that's the naming you are not used to !

Ha, yeah I figured it was for something like that, just making sure. I see how the naming works now, like extra terrestrial =P

Hey guys...

It seems there is something fishy about this version!

First of all the OpenCL 1.0 compatibility should make my ATI 4870 work...
Well, rendering with enabling it starts and does produce a Rendering... but GPU utilization is @ 1% what tells me that the CPU still does the work here!
Maybe some other OpenCL 1.0 people can tell confirm...?!

Second thing was to test general speed... yeah :)
My first very simple testscene jumped from 653k to 725k from last to this version... awesome!!

But then I realized that the new version doesn't refresh Viweport after hitting the halt condition O_o
By this I wasn't able to save my 2min rendering for comparing with old version since last refresh was at 1min... wtf!!?!

Then I did further speed tests and had some quite catastrophically bad results with my Kitchen & Cinema scene:

Kitchen PT-BiDir:
3.2.2: 259k
3.2.3: 170k

Kitchen PT:
3.2.2: 288k
3.2.3: 215k

Cinema (SSS) PT-BiDir:
3.2.2: 325k
3.2.3: 251k

Bedroom II PT:
3.2.2: 404k
3.2.3: 406k

Grass PT:
3.2.2: 217k
3.2.3: 226k

Hi Zom-B.
Yes, I can confirm I have obtain same s/s in path tracing (CPU) and GPU accelerated path tracing, seems CPU are doing all the work in OPEN CL mode too.
My OS is OSX 10.6.8, the graphic card is a Radeon 4850.

Hi Zom-B,
How are you measuring GPU utilisation?
