What happened to Veras
I see a progression away from very photorealistic, detailed textures.
I like that ai-powered rendering is faster, with no texture maps required, but the idea of using ai-renderers as rendering engines has been predicated on assumption that it would be a better rendering engine than others as well; more photorealistic, more wow factor. I need to know I will be able to get good results now and in three months. That would be true of any program, and is available with any other program.
An intact earlier release to use, even on the web app, would be a work-around, to assure access to release that works for us.
