Siggraph is coming up!

July 22, 2008

Don't forget, we'll be at booth 150 at Siggraph 2008. Siggraph is open August 12 - 14 here is sunny Los Angeles. Be sure to stop by and see what we've been up to!

We still have a few passes left to give away, so if you want a free pass to the show floor, drop us a line and we'll hook you up. Supplies are limited, though, so don't wait!

Also, if you have some cool project that you rendered with Smedge, send it our way, and we can show it at Siggraph. Why not show off your work as we show off the power of Smedge?

Email should be working again

July 11, 2008

We had our mail server compromised by spammers yesterday. My ISP installed some new security measures overnight, which ended up being a bit draconian and blocked all email traffic. Fun. Things should now be working again. If you have any problems emailing us, please post a message on the Forums and let us know. If possible, include all the mail headers, so we can pass it along to the server administrators. Thank you, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Uberware at Siggraph

May 21, 2008

Uberware will be present at the Siggraph 2008 convention. Tuesday, August 12 through Thursday, August 14, we will be at booth #150 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, showing off Smedge on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Feel free to contact us about it, and stop by to see the latest and greatest version of Smedge ever. Also, if you have something really cool that you used Smedge to help create, let us know and maybe we can show off your work there as well!

We hope to see you there!

Smedge 3 version 2.4.0 beta 5 available for download

May 20, 2008

The latest beta nearly completes the Mac support, and adds a bunch of new features and usability improvements for everyone. A few key highlights:

Configure Engine dialog now automatically copies changes to all selected Engines (which can be disabled to modify just one particular Engine)
Maya Product now respects requested CPUs and detects rendered image filenmes if your scene is set to use the mental ray renderer in the Render Globals.
Mapped drive remapping is more reliable than ever
New Modules for 3Delight, Gelato, Rendition, and VUE.

Web page having troubles

May 19, 2008

Hi Everyone.

Our web page is having some random difficulties at the moment. Our ISP recently changed the version of the underlying software (without warning, alas), and this is causing random issues on our web page. We are working as fast as we can to get things back to normal, but there are a lot of pages, and some may slip by. Specifically affected are the license generation page (which should now be working more or less) and the old forum system.

If you need help with Smedge or if you find any other web pages that don't seem to be working correctly, please contact Uberware Support if you have any questions. We hope to have the problems resolved shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

Email working again	April 03, 2008
Our ISP reports that they fixed a misconfiguration in our spam filtering system. Our email should be back to normal. If you have any problems, let us know on the Support Forum. Thank you for your patience.
