# Superb stuff and yay for Blender 2.49b - I have installed 2.53b but 2.49b is far more impressive and more stable.
BTW quick question: Default Blender Render Engine, Yafray or Luxrender? Because I suspect the first and this would look (more)awesome in Luxrender although it might take a few hours to finalise the render :D

# Thanks. Built in renderer, yep.
2.53 is really neat, and I look forward to a more near alpha of it.
As somehow I manage to hit every damn bug in it. [/;-D

# It's pass the Alpha stage and now it's a Beta but ironically the beta is more buggy that the alpha
they still haven't finalised the exporter which remains broken so no Luxrender for 2.53 yet and the most annoying part is that Smoke and Fire simulation is as buggy as hell, I've followed some top tutorials but for the life of me I cannot get the same results or for some reason the particles won't display at all.

# Alpha is after Beta, but x.xxB is after an x.xxA and before a x.xxC, you see?
All coders are nutters! As I all too well know. Ell oh ell. I haven't gotten particles to work
on any of the 2.5 builds so far. And many of the tools I'm used to using seem to be the
exact ones that don't work or crash the app. Still, it is already useful for small things.

# No the alpha is the testing stage of development, the beta is the fully coded version with the installer
and Blender 2.5x is the final bug-fixed stable version.
