Hi Alasdair,
"only one problem : no renderer is included so it is just a modeller......:(
Alasdair"
Their are two internal renderers in Truespace - Lightworks and Virtualight.
These are accessed from the modeler side. The Workspace side is a
work in progress. This currently only supports the external renderer
specially designed for it called VRAY. Its an implimentation of VRAY
for Truespace. You still have to purchase this for $300 or so.
Lightworks and Virtualight are the traditional renderers in TS.
Virtualight has caustics and GI etc.
The aim of TS up to when it got bought by Microsoft was to create a
whole new realtime workspace area for modelling based on Directx.
Through ver 7 up to the new v7.6 they have been porting the toolsets
over to the Workspace area from the old modeller area. So in effect
the old Modeller area is in fact TS v6.6 as a plugin to the new
Workspace concept. You might note in the setup areas mention of the
bridge. This is similar to LIGHTWAVE.
To access either Renderer on the Model side - up top right of the
model space work area is a horizontal menu of icons inc large X Y Z -
the first Icon by default on the left is RENDER SCENE - RIGHT CLICK
this and then look at the settings that appear in the right vertical
bar. At the end of these settings is RENDER ENGINE and a drop down
box allowing choice of either Lightworks OR Virtualight. If you
choose Virtualight you need to right click the same Render Scene
button AGAIN to get the Virtualight settings panel up.
If you hold the mouse down on the Render Scene button you will get
other Render options like render to file, render current object ...
Also over to the right of this horizontal panel their is a hidden
menu right under the DIRECTX Logo icon in this same panel ( also
might be set to OpenGL ). Its a tiny square with a depression in the
centre - move the mouse over this and another vertical panel pops up
- click the tiny grey bar at the top of this panel to force the panel to stay.
All very quirky I know - but hey its now free!
Hope this helps
Aidan

Hi Guys,
I suppose you all know by now, TRUESPACE ( originally by Caligari,
but who recently got taken over by MICROSOFT ) is now FREE -
forever. This is the latest version too - last week it would have
cost you $595 or so:
http://www.caligari.com/Products/trueSpace/tS75/brochure/intro.asp?Cate=BIntro
All you need to do is go to download button - login OR register (
free ) - and download.
Not alone is the app now free but also ALL the original paid for
training videos.
This is not a limited offer and the app is NOT CRIPPLED. Their is
no catch .. really!
From the Caligari Forums info has seeped through that over at the
Blender forums ( www.blenderartists.org ) - they are complaining
about TS being made free. Now thats a good one :)
But indeed - will this have any impact on the 3D industry at all?
I know that some complain about TS and its interface. But it has a
huge toolset, does the lot inc Char Anim, is hugely oriented to
virtual world stuff and gaming.
Apparently the app will keep on developing FOR FREE, so its not
abandonware - yet. Be that as it may - this is not a free previous
version - this is a free CURRENT VERSION!
