Hi Folks,

I have uploaded 2 updates for AR.
I have finally ported AR to AOI 2.8.
In addition, I have added support for TIFF 16bit files
And finally, I have added support for TIFF 16bit files to the version of AR for AOI 2.7 as well.

So if you use SPManager, and either AOI 2.7.x or AOI 2.8.x, then just update AdvancedRenderer, and all should be good.

If you download plugins manually, then just grab AdvancedRendering-2_7.jar or AdvancedRendering-2_8.jar as needed.

And finally, if you like to confirm the correct version in SPManager, then here is the relevant information:

1. version 1.70
This supports AOI 2.7.x and has support for TIFF 16bit files.

2. version 1.71
This version of AR supports AOI 2.8, and also suppors TIFF 16 files.

**Note. AR still doesn't support the filter system (because it isn't streaming). If you wish to use the AdvancedRaytracer with filters, then use the regular rendering dialog (Scene | Render), and select the AdvancedRaytracer from the renderer list.
The render won't run in streaming mode (ie, its size is limited by available RAM), but all the filters will be available.

Cheers!
Nik
