The Features Pages

With the release coming up, I've been working on shining up these two. The placeholders are all gone now, and I think the main features page is up to date. It's been condensed and rearraged a bit, and there is a "volumes" section now covering absorption and scattering. We'll probably need to go to a pair of volume sections someday when emission and inhomogeneous volumes show up, but I think we can condense them into one for now.

Do people have any suggestions or feedback as to the arrangement of the main features page? (or the New in 0.8 page, although a good deal of discussion has already been had over it's arrangement). I wanted light groups closer to the top, as it is a feature that always blows away people new to unbiased rendering, and those coming from commercial unbiased renderers will be glad to know Lux has this too.

And any suggestions for different images on the main features page? Or is everyone happy with the current set?

Hi,

Thanks for your efforts. My only comments are the following:
- maybe you could show more logos in the exporter section of the features page (don't forget the Poser exporter)
- I still find that showing the log window or a LuxConsole output is not really shiny, pictures from the recent competitions, even if unrelated to the subject would fit better

There's a typo here:

Left: The GPU-accelerated Hybird Path mode.

Nice work, but I think some of the "new in 0.8"-Features could even be copied to the official features site (MIcrodisplacement, Outlier Rejection for example).
(Never mind, I didn't read into the details of the "Displacement"-section first)

It's a wiki for a reason, if you spot any other minor mistakes please feel free to edit them - it should take less time than posting a message on the forum.

Damn, I forgot that I can edit it myself
sorry for bothering you.

Great work indeed! Personally, I think the current version and arrangement is very good
