The mission: Documentation

And as a complement i will release a package of testscenes along with the manual, about topics explained in it and some more advanced stuff.

Stay tuned

Cindigo 2.0.6 beta

Its out, you can find it here. It features motion blur support and by some bugfixes gives a lot of stability back. If C4D crashes it was probably not Cindigo. Not anymore…
