    Hello Louis !!!
    UV tools :-) ... :-)
    I have a strange feeling, I hope that Bentley, belie me as soon as possible, seeing as it was implemented the 801, I fear that the development has stopped.
    This is the feeling of many people that I know, who have abandoned MS for rendering. A study that had 15 installations of MS, this year did not renew the select, and is passed to the competition, and not alone, personally know any other 5.
    All professionals who used MS etc. for over 20 years.

    As you have seen the 801 has a lot of problems, we can not work, we for now we are back in SS3.

    We'll see :-))

    Hello Alex,

    I also share that opinion.

    Ten years ago MS was ahead in rendering. Nowadays its a struggle to keep up with my competitors.
    I was planning to switch to another program, but the recent news about merger with 'e-on' gave me fresh hope .
    Hopefully Bentley can make a change in the near future? If not, I'm also forced to change.

    I'm sad,

    That would be sad Wim. Here in the lower countries you're a lead on the area of architectural impressions made with Bentley software.

    Looking to the past Bentley always focused the development of their software at one subject a time. A few years ago the focus was aimed at visualization. The Luxology Render engine was added, and many improvements on the visualization part where added (Traffic tools, Object paint, stamp, Effects Manager, etc..) After that the development of visualization tools stopped and the focus was on Open Road Tools. The last period all focus seems to be on the Connect Edition. The result was the release of a beta version. Looking back however to the first version(s) of v8 / 2004, I also experienced this versions as dramatic looking to stability. It looks like Bentley can only focus at one subject a time.

    Let's hope now the Connect Edition is released, Bentley can focus to visualization again. The lack of this in the past years has resulted in a lag looking to other 3D software packages. If the 901 engine would be added with the new material system / shader system, UV (unwrapping / unfolding) tools (where an image can be bend in the direction of lines) and render options, Bentley software would be back in this time again.

    Bentley has outsources the development of the render engine totally to The Foundry. I'm not an expert, but I should say that the (stable) integration of the render engine shouldn't be a lot of work (relatively). Maybe now Eon is acquired the developers of that render engine can help modernizing the render engine and material system of Bentley software. 

    In the past the visualization community had a group of very loyal members, organizing contests, sharing tips and work. It was a great source of inspiration. Studying the posts of this group helped me to reach the level of I have today.

    What is left of that group today (fortunately we stil have Wim and Alex)?

    Thanks Louis for liking my work!

    I hope what you say is the right scenario.
    Setting my hopes on release of CONNECT to be a step forward, was very, very disappointing.

    Now with Eon I'm positive again.
    Can't wait for the first implementations.

    I think the Visualization SIG events are good opportunities to talk to Jerry and others involved with the visualization developments at Bentley. They are held monthly and Jerry is always looking for input from us users. Next week at the SIG might be a good opportunity to find out more about the future direction of Bentley visualization with regards to the Eon acquisition.
    David Burdick from Eon and Eon president Nicholas Phelps will be presenting!

    Thanks Louis :-)
    but unfortunately your scenario, I do not think that will happen.
    because no one develops for bentley, (rendering) simply because there is no demand, the plugin Maxwell is stationary or walking like a snail ... (sick) :-) ... I talked to the developers, the ... response was that we are really very few ...

    What you say, "the old group", is true, someone has changed jobs, but others have changed their software.

    I have the same thought Wim ...

    Jerry, very honestly said, in an old post, which does not have the resources to carry out more things, so now who bought E-on, what happens? All with the new toy?

    Capturing e-on has been a master stroke, for the world Bentley, Geodesign etc ... but we, do interior projects, and we are confronted with people using vray corona etc ...

    ... About Corona, created by one person and carried forward by two or three ...

    However, clinging to the last hope, I try to resist ... :-))
