Kerkythea Echo Boost (Release Candidate 2.5.2)

Sat Jun 04, 2011 8:23 am by giannis

Dear friends,

while we are still testing this edition, we believe that it would be nice if you have the application in your hands already, without waiting further. Here you can find a link for the Windows installer of the new version. Linux and MacOSX builds are not available yet.

The new installer installs data in a separate folder (than Program Files) to allow saving of user data without the need for administrator privileges (Vista/7). It will install both 32 and 64-bit versions on 64-bit OS.

If you are already a KT user and want to switch to the new version, then you will need to backup your data (typically found in C:/Program Files/Kerkythea Rendering System) and uninstall Kerkythea (although uninstallation is not mandatory). Then, run the new installer. You will need now to locate the data folder and copy your data inside there (C:/ProgramData/Kerkythea on Win7).

So, without waiting any further, here is the link for the installer:

best wishes

thank you for this release. I have 1 question however....i can't seem to find the render presets in the x64 version. Did i miss something ?

I think this is an installation issue... the 64-bit registry has to be tweaked as well besides the 32-bit. Going to fix it in 2.5.3.

Btw, the splash screen still shows Echo 2008 but we are going to replace it soon.

This version is primarily intended to get quick installation bugs (like the one above).

best wishes

Thanks for the new version!

It looks like (for now) you have to keep your globals/rendersettings/ etc folders in the same location c:\programfiles\Kerkythea Rendering System, instead of the programdata folder?

Although it seemed to point to the programdata folder on my laptop but not on my desktop?

If this is true it is fine with me, because I can easily load it on a portable drive, if everything is in the same folder.

Thanks again!
