Brazil r/s 2.0 Beta 9 is now available

Jessesn

Rhino 4.0 users are encouraged to download and try this Beta release of the production quality renderer - Brazil r/s 2.0 for Rhino.

Brazil r/s 2.0 Beta 9 is now available from http://brazil.mcneel.com

Notes on new Brazil website: We are now moving much of the Brazil documentation discussion and beta downloads to the new http://brazil.mcneel.com website.  This is a new centralized place for everything to do with Brazil for Rhino and includes blogs from the development team, discussion forums with nntp support, galleries, tutorials and so on.  You will need to apply for a user name and password the first time you access the site.

New Features: This latest version includes environment mapping support, 3d textures and many other minor new features but still lacks photons and some shaders (notably skin).  

Rhino versions supported:  Brazil requires a Rhino 4.0 CD key on the download page.  Beta testing Brazil r/s is limited to Rhino 4.0 users, and Brazil on Rhino 3.0 is no longer supported.  Rhino 4.0 Service Release 1 or later is required to install Brazil and can be downloaded from http://www.rhino3d.com/download.htm

Notes:  This is the current Beta release of Brazil r/s 2.0 for Rhino.  The product is substantially complete and includes some documentation.  Beta Cycle: Beta releases of Brazil will appear approximately every 2 weeks.

The complete list of changes in this Beta release is below:

2008-01-31: Public Beta 9

            - Added Brazil Utility Material.

            - Volumetric environments were disabled in certain cases.
