Ola my friend! Yes, it is! Sure, GI + Photons + Reverse Illumination will be slower.. but can produce even more realistic results :) If you want, collect this scene project and send me.. as soon I will have a minute, I can try to play with it :) Cool you are having fun with EI :) Thanks Tom

Ola Akai! Cool image! Did you try to use Photon mapping on EI 9.1? Thanks Tom

Ola Burney! Happy new year!! with EIAS 9.1, its only possible exporting the geometry as .obj, but you will need to add textures again and materials, no animation. Thats why we want to finish v10 asap :) Last time I talked with Kish, he posted some of his modeling app screenshots, he is working on it. Hope that helps Thanks Tom

Ola Steve! Please, send me an email! tom@eias3d.com Thanks Tom

Ola Phungus! Lets do the promotions when we release v10, it will be better :) Thanks Tom

Ola Paulc! Not yet my friend! We are polishing the last Big feature now, finish the bug fixing and we will be done with the Mac build which we want to release first. Thanks Tom

Ola Paul! Hope every body is safe with family! EIAS v10 is ready for Catalina / Big Sur, the new Apple changes will be addressed for sure, no way out :) We are non-stop here to finish our new cool upgrade :) Thanks Tom

Hey Burney! Im really happy with the latest beta build from this yesterday, polishing the last big feature, it will help every body a lot! Thanks Tom

Ola Burney! We are here non stop, we just started to update our new viewports to handle more data after our last feature implementation, we hope to finish this soon, after that, we will do more polishing and re-started the bug fixing cycle. We are anxious to finish the upgrade :) Thanks Tom

Ola Hervé! Thanks a lot for the sample project! I will discuss with Igors! Tom

Ola my friend! We are working non stop on v10 :) Your problem, appears a limitation of the Raytrace render, please, do me a favor, simplify your scene, only one Tree, the used light and only one Ubershape plane behind to show these "squares" artifacts in the render, collect the scene and send me. (tom@eias3d.com) - A trick with Trees using Raytrace GI render, please, download this sample project, in the Transparency tab / Raytrace sub-tab / you should use GI Cache as "Irradiance" to have a really faster render. X_Frog Tree sample project Thanks Tom

Ola PWoods, Could you send me the collected project and the snapshot showing the problem? email: tom@eias3d.com If you need to share doubts and users ideas in realtime, you can join us in our Facebook private group. Facebook EIAS group Thanks Tom

Ola Derryl, Everybody invited to our closed group on Facebook, its easier and faster to solve problems them if someone needs help. Thanks Tom

Ola Joseph, No stop here fixing bugs! Nothing changes for us right now in the next Apple steps, we had several delays here to solve the current Apple changes :) Thanks Tom

Ola Derryl, Any OS prior than Catalina works! if you have any problem after the OS update, msg me directly in the email. I dont know if you have Facebook, you can msg me there too, which is faster and I help you for sure. OS Catalina is full 64 bits, EIAS 9.1 will not work anymore there :( Thanks Tom

Ola Nige! Your renders are becoming more and more cool :) Thanks for posting! Tom

Ola Nige! Thanks a lot for the answer! Tom

Ola Djamel! Please, send me a email: tom@eias3d.com I will fix your mac :) Thanks Tom

Ola Djmael! Please, try this dongle installer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ljyal6mz5goc8hy/El_Capitan_OSX_Dongle_Installer.zip?dl=0 Thanks Tom

Ola my friend Mark! We did our steps for performance :) You will see it.. Thanks Tom

Ola Paul! Since we use EIAS everyday in the projects, we did all possible changes in this release to make it modern for our workflow, Im pretty sure, our user base will benefit it a lot of it. Allowing next upgrades to be easier to release and faster. Thanks a lot for your kind words P :) Tom

Ola Paul! Its his wish, sure, Im personal wish is a poly modeler built-in too :) Thanks Tom

Hey Jeff! Interesting post! btw: As you know, I am an EIAS user too! so, since we do lots of TV ads and VFX. our goal is bring EIAS asap "into the 21st. Century" as you wrote hehe.. I hope we will please, lots of request from our user base! Including you of course :) Yes, we are a small team with a lot of passion to EIAS, trying to be clear about what took so long on this upgrade, some important changes we did, generated a "cascade" effect, pushing us to re-write from scratch more and more the old code. And recent external changes from Apple added more delay on our side, Apple killed 32 bits apps, Apple killed Quicktime on Windows and a lot more.. so, we had a balance between big code changes, new features to make us and the user base happy, lots of optimizations to show we are faster and easier than the other apps for sure :) Our goal after v10: make smaller upgrades to be always in contact with our user base, hearing all demands and make always EIAS fresh! Thanks a lot Tom

Ola my friend, Just tried to send you a email back, but the message returned with an error from your server :( I sent again using another email :) Thanks Tom

Ola my friend! Here :) You will use the FOG Trick, take a look in the video. EI DoF Lens Blur Here the sample projects. DEPTH_EI.zip Thanks Tom
