Seems like they’ve closed up shop. And I just got a new computer to try it out.. got the download and got it working but not got all the tutorials and extras for importing from softimage etc.. Shame it looks quite good up to a point. If any one who knows anyone who has it working and has the tuorials etc would love to hear from them..
Best wishes all.. Nic

One other thing that could’ve possibly hurt is that the program is in favor of ATI graphics cards… ATI is ok, but many people use NVIDIA cards, so that would’ve been a better choice. Also you need a GPU that fully supports DX11, so that cuts out another section of people that don’t yet own these cards. … and even if you do have an nVidia DX11 card, you still can’t use some of the MSP2 features… where in every other program, if you don’t have an nVidia card, you can use everything (aside from CUDA and PhysX… and that can be run by the CPU) So it seems that the softwrae requires a lot of setup in order to use. Right now as I can see, one of the only things it’s got going for it is that it’s free. I’m not trying to down or knock MSP2. I remember when MSP was first announced and I’m still keeping my eye on it. I just feel that if things were different, the program could’ve done a little better.

Hm, something tells me they jumped off the money train a bit too soon. .. .just maybe. On looking in the forums, there are very few plugins compatible with MSP2 and no one seems to want to pay for development of new plugins… although you’d think maybe the other 3D companies (Maxon, Newtek, etc) would want to. I’m all for it being free, but something tells me things aren’t going so hot… especially since there are other products out now that do the same thing and more. (In honor of the article favoring StudioGPU, I won’t mention the names,but I’m sure you’ll find them if you look around….What? … a ball wth hair on it?)*nudge nudge*

This programs has some severe limitations for photorealism but is very fast for animation frame rendering if you are not bothered too much by realism of surfaces or substances like glass. It can simulate architectural materials fairly well, but no better than most game engines doing realtime rendering. It is a great tool for previz, I think. For fast, iterative animation re-rendering. Still, I’ve seen recent products taking over its territory, like TwinMotion.
