It renames

When you install Swift-Switch, it renames your original splash screen to "splash_swiftswitchbackup.bmp". :)

Thanks

It's not that I didn't like it. It's just my version was (better)funnier and I didn't keep a copy of it. Luckily I just used an original bmp from an install file.
Just leave us the original so we can change it back. Rename it to something like splash.bmp.old

;)

Very nice Ocean material, and great script.
But like lucpet59 I don't like my standart start up splash screen disaperd, and this without my permission.(maybe a check box during the installation will be less instrusive)

Big thanks

for your effort Satheesh and looking forward to your finalRender achievment!! There is a script here called Multiconvertor from Vladislav Gavrilov. I've created fR database for it and now it converts Vray and Mray materials (and not just materials but lights too, but it needs minimal manual work) to finalRender so probably you can use it in your work with that amazing renderer. If you need any backup regarding fR please contact me here or on [email protected]. All the best and stay focused! ;)
