  1. an now ass on this world knows what it is! haha
    google for it – you won’t find any information.

  2. Very uncool. A giant faceless corporation is one thing. Attacking a small band of heroes in our industry is quite another.

  3. thanks for the upload. and for ya knowledge, arnold is developed today by sony. having a chance to try it before spending thousands on a beta program seems fair to me.

  4. The closed beta doesn’t cost thousands to be a part of, you test it and there is a watermark. When you want to use it for production you pay for it, that seems fair to me. Have fun using an outdated version of this software as people that pay for it get updates weekly.

    • this version you don’t have to pay for and doesn’t have a watermark so lol

      • No it doesnt cost a thing, moron. I’m Beta Tester since last summer and never paid anything. Well you need to be a real 3D Artist, and no pirate-kiddy to get into beta

    • You mean sony is finally putting all those rootkits they installed to good use?

  5. Hmm, let’s think….

    Use an outdated version … or no version at all
    hmmmm
    tricky one

  6. Not cool at all. Sony is not directly developing it, nor do they own it. Look it up in wikipedia.

    Super lame to pirate this outdated version.

  7. also super lame for you to not share the latest version.

    they dont accept betatesters and a minimum of 5 licenses if you want to purchase, theres no damn info released about it more than a few videos, you cant purchase an expensive product based on that.

    none will ever earn money with this, but many will try it, and buy it if they want to use it for work.

    arnold have been in beta for over 10 years and only a few testrenders released, i hope every damn version get leaked

  8. yeah these faggots are just butthurt because they spent money to test it and everyone now can test it out for free, they are the only lame people here

  9. Guys why don’t any one of you put it as torrent.I think most of the links are not working.
    Looking forward to Maya release too.

  10. And now the result of a so close beta,it works with xsi 2012 so its not so outdated lol.
    I ear Maya version next.

  11. links work fine here.

    and there will not be a maya version anytime soon as most of the attention is on XSi at the moment the maya version which we don’t have is supposed to be useless.

  12. piracy is the new democracy. get over yourself you dumb asses. dont hang out here if u got a fkn problem u pussies.

    will soomeone crack new renderman for christs sake

    • It’s an application, developed by friends, hence the reason I am here. Pirating this particular piece of software directly affects people I know, and can name. It isn’t some faceless mega corporation like autodesk. It is a small team with a handful of dedicated developers. Please explain how piracy is anything like democracy? Apparently, this makes me a “pussy” for some reason. So be it.

      • How does it affect them? You can’t honestly think anyone here would actually buy it if they couldn’t pirate it. There are no lost sales here. No one here is going to use it in any sort of major production. The occasional may use it in some freelance stuff, but they would have no budget to buy this anyways and would just use a different renderer.

        All I have seen about this program is that it’s targeted for major production houses not the small guy here at CGP. You’re wasting your time crying about it to us.

        To be honest, I wouldn’t be wasting my time worried about a handful of pirates. I’d be worried about the next great renderer that’s right around the corner. Renderers seem to be a dime a dozen now days. People will see some hot new test renders and completely forget about Arnold.

        Cheers,

        • Firstly, the whole, we wouldn’t buy it anyway argument is patently false. Sure, some kids playing with it at home wouldn’t, but i sadly know plenty of small studios that pirate half if not all their software and make money from it. That is first hand knowledge, not speculation.

          But really sales are not how it affects them. The fact that it is an in progress version hurts them. The impressions people will get will be false. It may seem minor but in this small industry word of mouth is huge. This release specifically is lacking features that are already integrated in a newer version. Bugs are fixed everyday so people will be judging it based on a non-finished version.

          • you still here? seriously. what u gonna accomplish with you’re whining here?

          • As they say, bad press is better than no press…
            Honestly, I knew nothing of Arnold til this post.

            If it’s slow and crashes often, that’s not our fault, it’s the softwares fault. We are just reviewing the software; giving our honest opinion of it. The thing is, the title says BETA for a reason. Anyone who has used a computer more than 6 months should know that beta means you are getting an unpolished PoS that is full of bugs and will crash often. Ubisoft at e3 5 years ago showed a beta of Assassins creed with Altair glitching and warping all over the place. Did that really hurt them when the game was finally released? No. And the same will happen here. All the reviews I have heard basically all say the same thing: It’s got potential but can’t replace MR in it’s CURRENT state. We are curious to see how it will progress. Unless the devs decide to not fix the problems found in this release, they will not have any problems on final release.

            If the devs are that worried about us having an old and buggy beta, give us a newer non buggy one. An open public beta would be great.

            On a side note, the devs having their best friends come into a blog and whine like a baby about piracy and few bad comments stating the software is slow and buggy software looks bad. It’s immature and unprofessional. What did they do, cry about it in their beta mailing list and tell everyone to come here?

            • you are talking about unprofessional in a piracy blog? wow. The devs have encouraged me to do nothing, it just irks me. The attitude of entitlement. The comments of people in this thread complaining that the maya version isn’t cracked yet, ungrateful even to the crackers. What kind of way is that to be? I know I will accomplish little here, it’s purely for self-serving reasons that I say anything. Just disapointed in the lack of unity in this industry, we are always selling each other short and that’s just a shame.

            • @Arnold Beta Tester Yes I am talking about being professional in a piracy blog. Pirating software has little to do with how to present yourself as a person or a business. Sending people to cry about something you have zero control over to people who ultimately don’t give a shit is immature and unprofessional. You guys are the ones coming here worrying about public image. What do you think fighting with us is doing to it? It makes you look like a small time business that isn’t worth investing in. Do you think businesses will want to invest all the time and money into something that they don’t know is going to last more than a couple years? Big companies don’t show up at some small blog and pick fights with pirates and people who someday may be potential customers. They may make some quip about it in a call to their shareholders and use us as an excuse for low sales, but that is it.

              Thing is we don’t know who you are or why you are here. You are going out of your way to come here and whine to us. For what purpose? There must be a reason. The way you present yourself it looks like either the devs sent you, or you are one of those guerrilla marketers that get paid to post all day long and spread propaganda. Which is it?

      • piracy isnt the problem, piracy is a symptom of the real problem.

        and piracy is the solution too.

        anyway. obviously there are a number of professionals commenting here and its true i’ve worked in many studios where every last piece of software has been liberated from the internet.

        business models have changed. perhaps your friends need to change too.

  13. Why are people dying for this software and complaining how it’s not for maya or 3dmax or w.e…

    We have V-ray, Maxwell, Mental Ray, iRay, Renderman, FinalRender….what more do you want. Learn to use one decently enough and stfu.

    As long as you have VRay and Maxwell…Shut the fuck up! Learn to use one and stop complaining, if you can’t learn one, you won’t learn any of them. Arnold isn’t any better than VRay.

    • its about speed. im a renderman user. vray is nice but its pretty fkn slow. arnold has the hype that its faster than renderman. if your rendering film or HD frames this is important

  14. This is SAD

    But not because the beta is free for everyone (which is already very bad), but because the BAD reaction that everyone is having to the render everywhere, saying that is very slow among other things.
    If that continues like that it could (i hope not) damage the image of the render it self before is released.

    Anyways, i hope the best for the developers of Arnold.

  15. So you say there is a free public Beta of Arnold? Can you provide a link? I’d certainly love to test a newer version, I just haven’t been able to find a source.

    As for piracy.. its healthy. I think for Marcos, it’ll be the best thing for his product. If more people know Arnold, it makes it easier for studios to adopt it (aka purchase liscenses). I heard a statistic that some astronomical percentage of photoshop users use a pirated copy. However, the fact that everyone uses photoshop essentially grantees market dominance for Adobe.. I mean if all your employees know it, why would you buy anything else? That’s just my 2 cents though..

    • There is no free public beta. There is a free closed beta. I couldn’t tell you what the criteria is, the studio I work for bought the licenses. I think the ratio is something like 60% bought licenses and 40% didn’t. It is all by design in order to have a better signal to noise ratio in the development process.

      While I understand your point about piracy, that isn’t the issue here. The issue is that the leaked product is unfinished and not a good representation of the final product. Not even a good representation of the current product. The impressions users will get and talk about will based on a buggy early version. That is what may hurt the product. While the Adobe analogy may be true, there is still also a large number of users that should buy the products, because they are making a living with the pirated versions. I know far too many people and studios that do this. To me that is a big distinction from the kids learning it at home to enter the field.

      • “I know far too many people and studios that do this” Arnold Beta Tester

        So why don’t you report them if they are profiting from using ‘stolen’ software without paying the author his dues?

  16. Yes I’m from GUERRILLA MARKETER and I’m gay, but that is my problem!, I’m just talking about Arnold not about my personal life, I was a kid learning from home, and I don’t want to see how peoples make the same like me! that is why I’m here saying all this comments

    • Dude the engine its fucking awesome and the fact that many people here dont see that it makes clear that few will use in production.

      I think the engine its the best raytracer out there,it have natural limitations but i feel that Solid Angle have a stupid way of protect his baby.

      For a beta its freacking awesome and people trowing balls to test a render engine are no parameters.

      This baby fly with big detail,shame the dont do a public beta,more feedback.

      Its pirated now,the damage its done,best solution its publicbeta and polish this baby.

      And guys comparing vray or mental ray with this its retarded.lol

  17. Don?t work. XSI is crushed.
    Don?t work. XSI is crushed.
    my pc is 32bit windows7

  18. Well, i can admit when i’ve made a mistake. Coming here and voicing an opinion, trying to be reasonable. CheeseWeasel, you started out rational but have now dropped into just assuming whatever you want, fine go for it. Another calls me gay as if that’s a bad thing, fine go for it. Ultimately, in the end, CheeseWeasel, you are right, this forum doesn’t matter. Justify your entitlement however you like, I’m out. Peace.

    • Entitlement. That makes me laugh. If you think what we do is about entitlement, then this is all over your head and you should go back to your cubicle. You are not Freud, you are in no position to diagnose our narcissistic behavior. Go whine to the next blog about how you are entitled to fair play and everyone should follow the rules. You might get a better response.

      Yes, I am being irrational. Six or so people show up at this blog being anti pirate and preaching to us about how we are hurting this one specific developer with all posts within a small time frame and basically saying the same message and I’m the irrational one for thinking the devs sent you. There are over 10,000 posts here and this sort of thing doesn’t happen, people don’t do that. The only reason anti-pirates come here is if they have an agenda. Yet I’m the irrational one for asking what’s yours.

      Cheers,

  19. Without being in the Beta-Program and no chance to get the documentation, and much more important without access to the Mailing-List and the awesome Arnold community this old (really really old) realease is absolutely worthless..

    • lol you guys are really trying ,but ..
      its out
      its easy to use
      and you are fucked lol

      • lol you dummies wont have a clue how to use it! the forum is a great example of you pricks trying to figure out how to use it. you don’t have all the tools included. ahaha amateurs with no access to the mailing list

        • haha im already rendering nice stuff out of it. u rly dont need the documentation. would be nice, but if u know youre way in rendering, you can easily figure everything out by using common sense and knowledge of raytracing. so suck on that. moron.

        • Do you really want a bunch of people posting shitty renders and saying that is all this renderer is capable of? I can whip up a Colin’s bear render in 4 minutes flat.
