It seems there is no longer windows patch in the net!!!!!!!!!
Somebody help!!!!!!! Where can i find it?
There is also information that blender 2,5 should include "the patch".
I work with 2.5 but I can not find any solutions for Glossy Reflection-refractions…..
Is it thrue? Help ! …. and thanks

I really appreciate this. Is it possible, though, for the Yafray plugin to utilize this interface for conetrace? Or will it be lke SSS, which only works for Blender even though there is a similar Yafray feature?

Just reflection/refraction. Improved soft shadow sampling is on its way ;)

This is quite cool! I was on a lunch-time walk a few weeks ago, and while looking at the shadows cast by the trees, something became quite readily apparent. The shadows were well-defined toward the base of the object, but became increasingly blurry as the distance from the surface increased. Will this patch work with shadows, or just reflection/refraction?

I don know why people still guess Internal Renderer is not good enough. There are a bunch of things that other renderers still did not do that Blender surprises a lot of people.
Please, Install a photon Lamp, QMC, this patch, dispersion and everything in the world will be unusefull to stop Blender. And I tell more. internal Renderer is good enough, one way or another, if you learn, you will achieve better results than any other renderer !

I love it. Blender is growing so fast it's amazing!
Quick question. I'll test it out when I get a chance, but how's the rendering speed? A normal raytraced sphere vs. a glossy raytraced sphere?

"Nice work! We've needed this for a while! So would it be possible to use the same or a similar technique to get soft shadows similar to using an area light but without the additional overhead of raytraced passes? Just curious. "
the way this works is by using extra raytraced passes i think.
