Merry Christmas a bit late. And a more peaceful 2015... and faster render times.

Close, but not cigar! some of the stones look very nice, but many are washed yet. A bit lower? Don´t forget that you can add flares and lights in photoshop or AfterEffects.

Amazing, Diego. Surely you are enjoying the work! ¡Muchas felicitaciones, quiero ser como tu cuando crezca! ;D

Hi, Frank... maybe the caustics are a bit too high? you lose all the detail of the stones... FelixCat

Well, it seems i have no luck... atemting to buy the dongle, the sistem refuses my password, if i tray to request for a new one, doesn't recognice my e-mail... i'm in those days, really!

Hi, Tom. Then how i can purchase one of this Mac Intel dongles? Thanks Félix

Thanks, Richard... this new dongle works with PPC Macs?, i have some very old plug ins that i don´t wont to lost.

Hi, Richard. No, it´s purple and with the license´s number in a sticker. I used it in my old PPC Mac.

Weird. I downloaded EIAS 9.1 and used the dongle installer inside it... plug my dongle (purple, BTW) and says "hardware key error. Key not plugged in #3. And the download of EIAS 8.o.o (the one i have) the Image Player seems damaged... Gulp! Any ideas?

Hi, i just testing my new Mac pro and installing EIAS 8, but EIAS_8_Lion_OSX_Dongle_Installer doesn't work in OS X 10.9.2... or i'm missing something? BTW, the purple dongle works in this machine? Thanks a lot. FelixCat

Very nice and touching. Thanks!

Nice work, Greg. I like the lights a lot, beautiful. I Tomas, good to ear that you are working on the upgrade... any ints?

Very nicele done! i love the subtle work in shadows and blury reflections. Beautiful

Hi, folks! Really great news! (if is for real) Hope Tomas reach this people at SILO... a real conection between the apps could be a win win for all. Crossing fingers. FelixCat

Hi, Scott, very nice detail and design! Did you model it in Modo? FelixCat

Ola, Tom Very nice renders... i think needs a bit of dirt to be real. Reality is allways imperfect (sadly).

Joseph You can change the size, in EDIT, i think (don´t have the Ei open rigth now) it´s interactive. Hope is useful FelixCat

Michael: Silo is abandonware, the creators are working in other things and no hope of new improvements. Silo 2.1(Intel) has serious glitches in exporting Fact. Curiously, Silo 2.1(PPC) export Fact perfectly. I don´t know Silo for Windows. But still is a great and easy organic modeler. i use it everytime. And for US$ 100 is not bad choice. Hope this could be useful. Good luck FelixCat

Interesting, Tom, i suposse all the background is Ei. Very nice. Happy New Year, by the way. FelixCat

Very nice, Steven... I think something looks ood with the shadow of the building, spetially in the side with windows. It looks like the wall where a bit transparent... Happy new year, Steven, Tom and all Ei team

Superb, Diego. Really nice work! What can i say?... FelixCat

Another old one here. Great work, Diego. Great modeling and animations... used pixelgrain a lot? Nice touch, the eagles. Congrats. FelixCat

Very nice!! thanks. FelixCat

Thanks, Tom. FelixCat

A question about Ray-Traced Shadow Transmission (otherwise known as Subsurface Scattering). I can´t find any examples about... accept subsurface maps, for skin? how it works? Congratulations again.
