Improved Performance for OpenGL Viewport

[giannis]

This and all the other teasers are great news. Even nicer, at this point, would be a timetable
How about a blockbuster announcement at BaseCamp next month?

I know that everybody is anxious about next release and we are also very very very excited! You will also see that there are even greater things coming.

But at this point, we won't give any dates. We want to take all the necessary time to prepare everything, including documentation and blockbuster announcements
For those attending Basecamp, we will have news by the end of month.

Best wishes

Perfect with a faster viewport - thanks a lot!

Had to be horribly patient when moving the camera the other day with a whole bunch of those beautiful birch trees in my scene...

if they are instances you can display them as boxes which will significantly speed up navigation (good for navigation, not so good for scene setup though):

Customise - Preferences - Draw Bounding Box for Model Instances

Also putting instances on a layer and hiding them can help a lot

Very good news ! I'm very impatient to see it.

I love reading Thea´s forum in the morning, it´s nice to start the day with great news.

Great news indeed!

Did the overall navigation also get an update?
I find that my main gripe with Thea Studio is the GUI oddities and the slightly quirky navigation (I'm using a wacom tablet which doesn't help) while the renderer itself just works lovely.

What really drives me crazy is the camera settings though
The endless combinations of current view, selected camera or unselected camera and mounted or not drive me up the walls every time. I'd prefer a highly simplified system that allows me to just set my values for the camera with no other options at all.
And a separate View-Undo like in XSI and other software.

But nonetheless, thanks a ton for all the great work!!!

Cheers,

Tom
