Is this the official release?

Congratulations! But where are the drums and party props for such an important event?

I hope this hits the nail! Good luck!

Is this their answer to Thea Studio? Or something else? If someone actually fills out the form and gets a quote, post it here. Always a bad sign when you have to request a quote. Like a restaurant with no prices on the menu.

Well, it looks like the end of the ride is more abrupt than expected

Effing profit politics

No cheers

I requested a quote for both Studio and Render.

I actually like them and if the price is fair, why not?

Still working with Thea studio v1.5 ( importing the basic models from sketchup )
Is Altair Inspire Render the next thea studio ( or is it Altair Inspire Studio )? What is mainly the difference?
Is it possible to export form sketchup again ( like we used to)? Haven't got the time to test anything of this new software (or beta versions).
I only want the most 'thea studio alike' software that can run the newest GPU's.
Has anyone an answer to this please?
Thanks

Altair Render is the closest thing to Studio. But I haven't tested the new version yet so I can't tell if it has all the features of the old Thea Studio. It has some improvements like OpenGL rendering that are interesting but I also don't know how far they went with it.

The thing is that I asked for a quote for the software but got no answer...

Downloaded inspire render for quick test :

- license window in beginning - veryvery slow ( don't know why, maybe I am doing something wrong )
- opened an old thea studio v1.5 format file, crashed immediately ( perhaps the instancing of the 1.5 makes the file to big )
- after this I opened a smaller file and put interactive render on -> but can not switch this off ( while the button says just to click again, maybe I don't get it )

I admit this was a very quick test by me just to try a bit. Looks promising and I really hope this program can replace thea studio v1.5 but these little struggles don't make me want to try further today because I have not a lot of time.

I would absolutely not care to pay a lot of money for only thea studio v1.5 upgraded working with the latest GPU's + denoising.
I hope inspire render will fulfill my needs but for now I don't know it yet.
