Ah yes, I see that after I bothered to read what was said. Thanks.

Read this message right after my vacations... very good news. Working on speed is still the most important thing for me. If speed becomes faster I wonder what will come in Version 2 but it can not be more important then again more speed

In my work, i tell again, I need to render between maybe 4-10 Images for a project and I need to render them in a workday. I can render them with the actually version of Thea but sometimes not in the quality I yould like to have. So speed up is not more Images but same Images with better quality and this is the point Wait for the new Version!

This are great news!! More speed!! This could help while waiting for GPU rendering! Is there something on that front? I suppose that if it is... you can't talk about it yet!! so don't mind hahah

Just love Thea, the team and this speed up will be very important!

Impressive update indeed!

I like this a lot!!

and this ^^
actually seems i like it all

"Construction of the environment (during initialization) is now multi-threaded. This means faster render startup and a more fluid interactive render!"

Thank you so much for this Giannis and theateam, I remember I was posting not so long ago about the long time it took to build the environment in a heavy scene and seems you guys where already working on it! You guys are just incredible, the only negative point that I could think of is now completely gone, now grass fields with a highly detailed grass instanced will be possible!

thank you!

and thanks for the other speed improvements off course; more speed => more time to make little adjustments => better renders!

My favorite part of the announcement too!
