Daily builds version 2

[maru]

From last changelog:

Decreased memory consumption of all scenes by 5-15%

Some quick tests, 25.05 vs today's daily.

Scene 1 (exterior): 7,071,728 vs 6,298,836 - ~11%
Scene 2 (interior): 7,878,068 vs 7,328,124 - ~7%

Let the benchmarking begin! :D

• Fixed the bug when corona camera target was not visible when camera is created from toolbar or maxscript

Nice. I wonder if similar issue with CoronaSun could be fixed as well (it's when targeted sun is created by maxscript and it has its checkbox "target" unchecked in UI, so one has to click on it twice in order to disable target)?

thanks for fixing bugs ))

A temporary solution for the hdr bug  is to load it directly to material editor, then loads properly.

Does scatter in daily builds compatible with 1.7.3 hf4 ?

Does scatter in daily builds compatible with 1.7.3 hf4 ?

We're always trying to be fully backward compatible, meaning that any scene from 1.7.4 (with any corona objects/materials/maps) should open and render the same in v2. If you find out that some results are different, then please report that as a bug.

We cannot guarantee forward compatibility, so once a scene is opened & saved in a newer version, it usually cannot be opened again in an older version.

OK, the standard spiel. Please send minidump (see my signature for that) and preferably even the problematic scene.

Only tried the new DB on one scene. 30-35% slower rendering speed than 1.7.4.

Viewport navigation is also messed up. Much much slower than 1.7.4.

"Interactive no longer starts with temporarily full render resolution for first time. This fixes excessive lag when starting interactive for the first time while having big render resolution set." - That's a bug I was expecting to be solved for a long time and it sure is now :)

The 2018-06-01 Daily Build is messed up.
I´m working in a file and it freezes in the opening.
Going back to the 2018-05-29 it open ok.

Could you please send us the problematic scene for debugging?

"Interactive no longer starts with temporarily full render resolution for first time. This fixes excessive lag when starting interactive for the first time while having big render resolution set."

Wow, finally. This is driving me nuts on a daily basis in 1.7.
