I guess you tried very old demo of kray... It's completely different story with 1.7...
You should check kray forum at http://www.kraytracing.com/forum for more info.
Well demo version is currently not available for version 1.7. 1.7 is in open beta stage and is available to all new and old owners free of charge. Perhaps there will be a demo after 1.7 final is released but I don't know for sure...
Anyways IMHO it's the bes GI solution for LW out there...
Merry xmas and happy 2007 all!
It works with LW materials directly. KRay renders additive reflections correctly so that's no problem.
It is planned for future versions of Kray to add it's own "KRay nodes" to extend LW's surfacing options with Kray specific - like SSS for example...
No it's biased renderer like Vray. It supports irradiance map, light caching and photon caching...
As far as the speed goes I must say it's very fast, even faster than Vray from what I've tested!
Hey! I've finished first tutorial for 1.7.

Next I'll write how to make animation from this scene!
cheers!
Also there is a forum at http://www.kraytracing.com/forum where you can find help to get you started with kray.
One important thing to remember with kray is that although it has many settings you only need to tweak about 5 of them to get you going...
Thanks for all your comments folks! I was getting worried I won't get any (again). And yes Kray is not bad at all... Very good acctualy and getting better...
