Big thanks to everyone who is helping with madVR support work. I really apprecate it. You're making it much easier for me to handle the overall madVR workload. So you're indirectly contributing to madVR development.
I planned to add a list of users who helped with support work a lot, but then I feared I might forget someone who might then be disappointed, so I decided not to list any user names. But please rest assured that I read all posts in this thread, and your support work is not going unnoticed. Thank you again!
Next madVR build will come maybe in a week or two or so, I'm not sure right now. It will feature improved HDR tone mapping quality and an additional "low" RCA quality level (which will fuse with NGU medium quality).
FYI, although I didn't have much time for madVR recently, I did start working on a totally new algorithm (not scaling related) last year, and I've been working on it ever since. I even hired external help for some things I didn't know how to do myself (I'm not a math genius, unfortunately). I'm not completely sure yet if I can manage to make it work. It might end up being much too slow, or too low quality, but I'm hopeful. If it works out as well as I hope, it could be a relatively big thing. But it's going to take several more weeks at least. Sorry, no more information at this point.
