During the last weeks, we have worked on the core of the application and succeeded into achieving a remarkable speed boost that makes Thea up to 2 times faster! In more detail:

1) Render times are decreased between 25% and 50%. 2) Construction of the environment is now multi-threaded. 3) There is a reduced memory footprint - estimated between 10-20%. d) The improvement is even more pronounced for heavily instanced scenes - up to 5x!.

We are continuously working on various improvements and advances and we believe that the next public revision will be an important milestone.
