i have been checking out the offers on the website and saw that you guys are offering a great discount currently. i also saw that you even have an educational licence. my question would be, if i would buy such an educational licence, can it also be used for commercial work, and what happens when i am not a student anymore?

i saw that you were planing on utilizing gpu for rendering on your website under features, now i found several mentions of gpu which i am not sure if they are meant for other tasks as you said in features or if that already is working for rendering. if not when would you think that gpu could be coming as a render option?
i am now at the brink of buying a new computer, since the mac mini m2 was released making it a bit tricky to decide whether to buy one or to buy a mac studio instead. i might even make this decision depending on how the development of bella proceeds since this could probably become my main render engine.
we do use the gpu now, but not yet for raytracing itself, so it does not yet make much difference, and is more implemented in order to have the plumbing out of the way and widely tested (enumerating devices, etc) when we are able to bring it online for raytracing. That, however is a deep development for us, and we cannot give a timeline on it.
Thanks, I have updated the help with information on uninstallation. Regarding MacOS, I am not seeing that behavior here, so please see the note I added there about emptying the trash and/or rebooting.
I had been checking on rhino 7, but I can see what you describe on rhino 6, and I think it must be a v6 glitch/bug with the preferences > plugins panel, since regardless that it appears in the plugin list, bella does not appear anywhere else (e.g. as an option for the current renderer), and since if you open the properties for its item in the list, and try to click the link to open its containing folder, nothing happens. So it looks like rhino has stashed that plugin info somewhere in its prefs, and is showing it, regardless if the plugin actually exists.
Yes this is exactly same for me. The plugin is listed, containing folder does not work and so on. I also noticed that the Bella commands appear as suggestions in the command bar, but they do not work of course.
hi @jdhill thank you very much, sounds great. i would love to try it but i had no time to test it yet since i started a new job beginning of february. i am very interested in getting a licence, reading through the feature list and working for a production company where accurate visualisation of glass may be getting very important and using rhino i think bella might be one of the few options.
i just have one more question for now which i had been thinking about lately. i could not find anything to me obvious on the feature list that might explain if bella is capable of compositing, meaning that i can decide what is reflected but not seen by camera directly for instance. or to hide reflections but seeing the object just to name some more. if its not possible currently is that something you might be implementing?
so i got around to download it finally and i am testing it currently. i have trouble getting the render flags to work, either this or i am misunderstanding it. i have a big head light which reflects in the object and i would like to hide it there. but the visible in refl. checkbox does not have any effect. neither do the others i have the feeling. during rendering it looks like it wants to hide it away in the reflection for a brief moment but then while rendering further it reappears.
I am finishing up rewriting a bunch of code in this area to work with Rhino 8, so I will be sure this is working for the next build; until then it seems it will be necessary to set those flags in Bella GUI.
i also forgot, the bottom surface on which this dummy bottle is standing on should have been dark black either, but i can not get it to render anything else than a bleached middle grey. using regular physical based.
@jdhill i started a coupled of thoughts in the other topic but its just off topic so i pin them down quickly here what i remember and have time to write up. one thing i remember that when the render on bella side got initiated that the zoom/focal lenght differed to the regular view. in other words the rhino focal length does not correlate with the bella result in the viewport once rendered there. also the intensity if the lights is way more sensitive in bella, the same settings blows out the scene completely by several magnitudes.
