Hi guys,
We hope you are all doing well, and that interesting projects are coming your way again!
As you can tell from the ever increasing sub-minor version numbers, we are working hard on Golaem 8, but nevertheless, we took time to fix some bugs and implement a few improvements from users' feedback.
We also added support for the latest Arnold version (6.2) and Houdini 18.5.462
We cannot wait to show you what we have been working on, do not hesitate to contact us if you want to candidate for the beta testing group.
Cheers,
The Golaem Team
