from Milkshape and fragMOTION at present LightRay differs very small , realy that only price =)

I much hope that in new full-fledged ( not LiteRay ) to versions will be more friendly interface and navigation with possibility to use the mouse more productive as well as suitable management in viewports. If I did not expect the developments of Your program - that I did not become to write here nothing. But if write -signifies me interesting and I see the prospect of this development in greater than she presently there is. Thank you that answer , shall wait new release program.

P.S. why happens to login every time on forum? do not work cookies or in adjusting the forum of no possibility to include " to hear always "?

Dear froqus, you should not mix LightRay3D with programs like MilkShape3D,fragMotion etc.

All I can say is that LightRay3D is getting more 'serious' and will target at more 'serious' modelers it will also cost more.liteRay3D on the other hand will be the choice of modders and inexperienced modelers that want more than basic Milkshape3D functionality at a competitive price(which is not known yet but it will be somewhere between 28 to 40 euros NOT dollars).

About the 30 days trial period is out of the question.
What can be done though is to allow users to export a limited amount of vertices/faces.

Also, some of your wishes/suggestions have been realized others haven't simply because they are not important or can't work with the existing functionality.

Don't get me wrong but from your posts I understand that you either like Lr3D OR you'd like to see it cracked.It's the only explanation I can give for your obsession with the trial limitation.

Anyway, info and screenshots of the upcoming versions of LightRay3D v1.5 and liteRay3D will be posted soon.

The Author probably much is afraid that if although some options of the export will work in unscheduled program - her(its) will not buy, but will become constantly to use trial version , herewith tolerate under each start about registrations ( or will find crack ). The Foolishnesses all this! It is Enough to compare the sizes community on forum Milkshape3d or fragMOTION ( much making look younger program , even else no release - only beta 0.91), Correct policy of the spreading - a most best warranty that program will buy. But the policy of the spreading LightRay - imho very invalid. I already spoke your mind on cause that since simply CAN NOT try the export in Torque personally - (the function of the export in unscheduled copy LightRay simply disarmed ) - that I have no no desires to buy the cat in bag , orientating on some there model only , which possible download as proof that LightRay this will in general die to do.

Funny even, LightRay - probably single program , to which it is impossible find in P2P networks crack or serial or registered version =). I expect that this is connected with that that low functionality + high price = does not present the interest even for crackers team, ha-ha =).

Can be there is sense to do in the same way as in Luxology Modo? The Issue generated key for unblock all function program on 1 month? Or the simplest way - completely working program which ceases to work through 2-4 weeks =).

Let I hitherto as well as did not become authorized user LightRay ( I hitherto do not want to pay for program in which some aspects I do not like while there is alternative variants of the programs ), and already repeatedly voiced its modest opinion on cause of the improvement LightRay , but all think that LIteRay must differ from the main version only that that she must be is immediately equipped plugins of the export for the main games (Half-Life,Quake, CoD and so on) of the not restricted export. And her(its) cost must not exceed 25-30 dollars. Also LiteRay must NOT possibility using of the work with some format (for commercial -oriented engines - 3D Game Studio, Torque...Ogre...). These plugins must be delivered in kit of the full version LightRay3D ( the cost to full version I hope that does not become above that price which there is presently nor in what event - otherwise personally I shall simply forget the road on this site ). imho.

Something it is necessary to do with that that test version will not die in general nothing. since personally me for instance on one incomprehensible model example , which is compiled for Torque can not understand - a good program or not. but believe simply wordses -not want. if such policy will last and hereinafter -hardly beside I shall appear the desire to spend 90 dollars for do not understand that . And no need to speak that I greedy russian - I don't use crack-s , but buy the program as all normal people if program I like , she needs me for functioning, working and the like...

forgive me for my english- hope that at least half said by me possible to understand =)

I guess you all are right.LR3D is cheap for its features but that's because it's not my main income.I don't make my living by selling LR3D.
It's a moderate price for the countless hours in front of the screen hitting those keyboard keys.
BUT, I have received so many emails the last year that made me take the decision to release a 'lite' version.
I don't know if 'lite' is the correct word as it's based on v1.4 which compared to other low-cost 3d tools is much 'heavier'.

Now, LightRay3D on the other hand will keep developing and believe me there are some 'cool' stuff being coded such as pure BSP level editing, a better raytracer(faster,volumetric lights,better antialiasing,post fx etc.), better rigging using envelopes etc.
And this brings us to the issue moraldi pointed out.It seems I'm too busy coding that I have neglected the most logical,critical,essential aspect of documentation and support.So, turorials and support is from now first in the priority list.This will slow down plugin coding and LR3D developing but what good it is if I'm the only person knowing LR3D in depth Roll Eyes Big Grin

LR3D is already cheap. I can't see any obvious reason for a cheaper version. LR3D needs more tutorials and a BETTER DOCUMENTATION about its futures. These are good reasons for new users to come. They will "feed" the future development.
I can't use all the power of LR3D because I don't know what some commands do and under which circumstances they will be useful to me.

LR3D is well worth every penny I pay, too. But Lite version can attract more users, more users means more ppl will write tutorials, that is what I really need. Big Grin

I am glad to see lite verison but I think you have outstanding price for LightRay3d. It is been well worth every penny I pay. Outstanding job with it. I look forward to future updates. I am waiting for verison with map export then I can do everything in outstanding modeling software.

A lite version of LightRay3D based on v1.4 is about to be released soon.
It's going to be pretty cheap for its features, a must have tool for
game modders, 3d content creators who want more than a basic 3d tool.

More about liteRay3D soon...
