Daily Builds 1.6

RC2 just uploaded, featuring HUGE displacement bugfix. Should also fix the "slaves rendering different amount of passes" bug of DR

[Frood]

Every new version the same crap starts to happen again with ForestPro (itoo) - over and over again. With 1.6 DBs the framechange crashes seem to have reappeared.

What should I do with dumps indicating crashes in ForestPackPro.dlo? First throw them in the corona tracker? Or should I send them to itoo?


Good Luck

[Ondra]

if it is ForestPackPro.dlo, go directly to itoo - we cannot unfortunately do anything about that :/

[Frood]

Ok then. Curious how they willl handle this since these are crashes with "unsupported", "unreleased" etc. Corona versions. With 1.5.2 all issued regarding Corona were solved with the latest version. Let´s see.


Good Luck

Y U NO fix the displacement last week, could have saved me from a major headache I've had ;)
Great work guys, just tested it and the scene that crashed with displacement quality of 6 px now renders at 2 px, massive improvement.

I also find some crash suing itoo forest and interactive render, if you change quickly the itoo color mode, from item to element or the additive mode of it, max will crash..
corona scatter color randomizer  can be a good addition (i know corona multimap, but itoo solution is way faster)

Do you have a minidump? I wasn´t able to crash it like you described to create one, but got another meanwhile. I really don´t want to wait one year again after release to get a stable system again as it has been after the release of Corona 1.5 :-[ So please, if you have one see

and send it to Itoo, thanks!

any chance of a max2018 working install?
They have just pushed it out to maintenance users. Its the most feature free update of max in history i think. At least they added quad chamfer a while back, even though they borked that modifier anyway.

EDIT - oh look they unborked the quad chamfer modifier in 2018 and called it a feature.

[Ondra]

we have it ready, will do new RC with it. In the meantime, can you give me some link confirming it is officially out?

Anything in particular you want to see Ondra?  Screenshot of the subscriber center?  a link to the manual?

I was 100% expecting that!!!

Yep, 2018 is out.

I guess it would be too much to ask from Autodesk to have this mentioned anywhere on their website :)

The trial version download is still 2017 though.

If you know anything about autodesk releases you know their website is the last bit that gets updated.  Doesn't mean max isn't out yet though. Biggest difference is this time around Subscribers got it first! normally they get it last for some odd reason.
