nDo2 BETA

teddybergsman · 07-09-2011, 03:50 AM

Hey all!

About a year ago I released a thing called nDo. The feedback I got from you guys was nothing short of amazing, and the tool really grew thanks to your input. 16 releases later, sadly, the limitations of scripting started to get in the way of all your kick-ass feature requests.

It was time to do nDo for real. I quit my job. My friends quit theirs. We ate gruel for 8 months.

We present nDo2!

We just released the nDo2 site -- check it out and retweet like crazy!

Initially we planned on a closed beta, but just now we thought, hey, screw it! Everyone should be able to get nDo2! Sign up NOW for the open beta! Tell all your friends!

Major credit goes out to the guys at Blizzard, EA Blackbox and Sjoerd “Hourences” De Jong, who all helped make nDo2 what it is. And of course, you guys. You rock.

Looks awesome! But I think I will stay with the old free version (not too much money as a student lol).

This is Amazing Teddy,

I take my hat off, Ive personally been using nDo since i first saw it on here back when philipk was posting his material tutorials, and it has saved me so much time and given me so much control in my workflow.

nDo2 looks like you have taken it to a whole other level. i dont want to compare you to crazy bump, but i will say that i used it and when it went commercial it was outside my budget, but nDo looks to be an even more complete package and extremely competitivly priced.

im sold,

Thanks guys and keep up the awesome work

Looks really great. The first incarnation was indeed insanely useful. I would however, say the pricepoint seems a little high.

Should it come down to 30-40$ I would purchase for sure!

Just getting started with my Beta version, and I'm currently getting the hang of it. Thanks for all your hard work, and if its even a little better than nDo than I'll be blown away

Rock on, guys. Job well done, and I hope it becomes very successful!

Hey everyone! Thank you all for your nice comments and feedback, it really keeps us pushing those extra hours through the night

There's now a bunch of fixes and feature additions for nDo2 based on all your fantastic feedback!

Get the latest version here!

Don't have a beta license yet? Register here!

What's been fixed/added:

(user request) Tileable Ambient Occlusion
(user request) Extended texture file format support for previewer: dds, png, hdr, jpg, bmp, pfm, ppm, dib
(user request) Copy document to clipboard feature
Added 2 new photo2normal presets -- "Smooth Stone" & "Megavolume Cliff" -- the latter one is quite complex, you have been warned!
nDo2 should no longer crash when pressing “New normal”
Fixed all registration/user verification/license authentication issues, site is now fully stabilized!
Fixed license activation window crashing/not showing up
An extensive error logging system which lets us know exactly where it breaks, also analyzing your device specs to make the error tracking minimally painful for the user
New helpful message boxes with tips on how to solve the current issue (+ links to customer support upon critical failure, with easy-to-copy error messages)
A help menu with quick-links to the online tutorials, nDo2 site, and legal information

Some statistics!

There are now over 1,000 active participants in the nDo2 beta
Prebooking slots cross 500, 1000 in total
The nDo2 site generated over 100GB of traffic in just 2 days, yikes!
You guys are awesome! (perhaps not a statistic per se, but a fact nonetheless!)

Also, the preset saving/loading system is getting a complete visual overhaul. Expect it in a release not far away!

Hi guys,

Download the nDo2 Crash-fix Bonanza!

If you haven't registered your copy yet, do it here!

This time around we’ve been digging deep, on a mission to kill every crash ever reported. We’ve been debugging and verifying for days now, and we're hoping nDo2 should now be stabilized:

Fixed all start-up crashes
Fixed crash when creating new normal, and all other PS connection related crashes
Added extensive user-friendly trouble-shooting information

With this release out of the way we now have a 100% focus on your feature requests -- nothing else -- for three weeks. Go nuts!!!

Should you still get issues see this FAQ or grab me.

nDo2's been out for a few days now, and I'm stoked to see all the fantastic art starting to drop in. Check out Wiktor Öhman's nDo2 piece:
