Hi, and thanks for putting me on the beta.  Iv beta tester for a few other companies both private under NDA and public before and wondered how this one is going to be structured.

 

There may be some docs somewhere on this but iv not found them, maybe these questions have got answers already?

 

1: First question is whats the status on NDA, what can and cannot be share with public?

2: I wasnt aware the beta had started, it was by chance I found it, maybe an email or anouncement is needed?

3: Where are the change logs, and current status logs for known bugs, we need them in order to know what to report and what not?

4:  Is this the only forum room, if so whats it for?  Would be helpfull to have a forum for bug reporting, feedback, user showcase.  Id like to create a blog that shows the results Im getting, and feedback?

 

Thanks Dan, aka CGDreams

Hi Dan, thank you for these questions. It's great to have you onboard.

> 1: First question is whats the status on NDA, what can and cannot be share with public?

No NDA needed for the beta, everything can be shared publicly. If something requires secrecy we'll typically get in touch through email.

> 2: I wasnt aware the beta had started, it was by chance I found it, maybe an email or anouncement is needed?

Actually the teaser video which triggered the current wave of interest was just meant to be a teaser. The real intro video tutorial is coming and we plan to make the actual announcement then. But for now it was good to push the beta into swing a bit early. Doesn't hurt anyway.

> 3: Where are the change logs, and current status logs for known bugs, we need them in order to know what to report and what not?

We have the defects and requests forum if you go to the forums link in the project menu. Logs are available under the "Changes" link on the downloads page, to the right of each version (except Nightly). We also post them in our Ornatrix Cinema4D facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/105591176952236/)

There are other forums: https://ephere.com/plugins/maxon/c4d/ornatrix/forums.html

Also feel free to join the FB group, we respond both here and there.

Oh, and I don't think original post can be edited, but replies can.

Thanks for the info.  I hope to get some time over week end to try it.  Iv spent no longer than 30min just to get used to what is there, and only 10min on grooming and shader.  I was quite happy with the results given such short time.  Is the shader totaly C4D own shader or have you done somthing to it as the shadows seem way better.  I noticed right away that the distribution of guides are making a huge difference right away.  Here is my first 30min using it.

Looks great! I don't think we did anything to the shader, it must be the distribution responsible for the difference.

Right! My results look way different! I hope I can also find some time on the weekend. :)

Anything in particular to test?

Im going to start a new Thread to blog my results over the week end, I will also post all files for others to try it.  I have a feeling Im going to get some very sucessfull hair styles from this hair system.
