CloudWright 1.6 beta

CloudWright 1.6 is now available as beta software. Like previous versions, it’s free to download and try. The big new feature is you can now see raytraced clouds in real time. There’s lots of other good stuff, so take a look.

As 1.6 is beta, it needs some testing. We’d especially like to hear from anyone using Nvidia Quadro cards, and anyone using ATI cards.

CloudWright Plug-Ins

We have been planning for a long time to put CloudWright plug-ins into the major 3D graphics packages, and the first of these will be the plug-in for XSI. When it’s launched, CloudWright will be available in two versions – the standard edition, which is standalone, and is on sale now; and the premium edition, which will include both the standalone version and the plug-ins. The standard edition will be £24.95, while the premium version will cost a little more.

However, anyone who has already bought CloudWright before we launch the premium version will get a free upgrade. Furthermore, we will be offering registered users the chance to test the XSI plug-in as soon as we reach beta.

I can’t yet say when launch will be, but hopefully we’ll be in beta-testing within the next few weeks: stay tuned!

CloudWright – now only £24.95

Great news everyone! CloudWright moves today to a new, cheaper permanent price of £24.95. We’re now using prices in pounds, not dollars – the exchange rates were giving our accountant a headache!
