What's the latest status on Reality? Is everything alright with Paolos?

Anyone have any idea what the correct upgrade path is in DS from Reality 2.5 (still running DS 4.7 64 bit)? I was denied a response from official customer support because when I contacted them a while ago it turned out that my purchase of the latest product was too "old" (Reality 4.0 back in Sept 2015 and Reality 4.2 in Sept 2016). I'm not sure if I need to install 4.0 first then 4.2.0, 4.2.1 or jump straight to 4.2.1. Thanks for any help/info.

Huh? - You can always ask in the Reality forums. Answering your question you can jump directly to Reality 4.2.1.

Thank you for your response. I wish I could ask in the forums. Eventhough I am a member, I cannot post there for some reason. Didn't want to waste anymore time or bother Paolo so I figured I'd ask here.

Okay, then something must have gone wrong with your sign-up at the website. You should be able to contact Paolo and get it fixed.
Also correction to Reality version. Latest version is 4.3.1.16203 and you should go to this, since 4.2.x had issues (mostly Luxrender version related).

How does the new Mac OS, Sierra 10.12.2 work, if I want to render using the Mac Pro's Graphic Cards (late 2013 edition)? There are two cards, which are AMD Fire Pro D700s. VRAM (Total): 6144 MB. Does anyone know?

I'm not really updated on the current status, but you can try asking here:

Otherwise try it out yourself on your own machine using the Luxmark benchmarking (free download):

Simply download the Luxrender/Luxcore benchmark and run the examples. These should tell you exactly how well it runs on your particular setup.
