Perfectly agree. Btw, I think it is better to use "set_lib_path" function which vc2010 uses. It checks whether compiler is vc2010, and assigns special path if it exist. This can be easily extended to mingw. On Sun, Apr 22, 2012 at 1:26 PM, Erwin Coumans wrote: > It would be good to separate visua

Many vc2008 compiled libraries works on mingw and vc2010 without a problem. If we have complete separate directories for each folder, it will take more space on server and we would have to update lib for each compiler. On the other hand, I think we can make pointers from lib/MSVC2010 to lib/Window

Augustin is right, it works, but only for the Transparent BSDF. In Cycles, Transparent is defined to work as, "render as if there was no geometry there", which also affects AO and shadow rays. The case could be made that the Glass BSDF should also work this way for AO rays, but it gets fuzzy then,
