foxriver32 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I've been pretty sick this year, again, I did pay my update fee for x9 and I just noticed that x10 is available. How long has it been available and shouldn't I get the upgrade since my lic doesn't expire until 7/2018? Is the x10 update worth the effort? Thanks for your help Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbuttery Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 yes, you get X10 for free it has "plan sets" and from what I hear they are a very nice feature go to the announcements section of the forum and there will be a link to a list of new features and some videos about those features Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I am only unhappy about Ray Tracing in X10, otherwise, it has markedly increased my productivity per minute-hour, the best yet! DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew 2016 would explain why the Upgrade to X10 is not Free but I don't think x9 was available in 2016 ( Feb 2017 I think? ) but SSA may have expired July 2017 if you purchase July 2016 but that SSA would of given you the Free Upgrade to X9 but no further .....your Digital Locker tells you when SSA Expires right under the Serial No#.

fmrkva9525 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 X10 is definetly worth the update, it had a few kinks they had to work out at first, but most of them are fixed now. The only issue I had as someone else pointed out on here, is ray tracing does not work as well with the materials optimized for the new pbr feature. However with that being said, pbr rendering can look just as good if not better than ray tracing with the right materials and lighting used (plus there is no wait).
