[Ondra]

[Ondra]

Emmm...Login is working fine, as i understand. The same problem with error messages.
I catch it on the video to show exactly what happens.

Good morning all

activation went fine here!

things I noticed:
-Noticed a littel typo: Within GI (F10) in the Secondary Solver option HD Cache has changed into UHD Cache. But in the tooltips (all of them) it is still HD Cache.

I experience some saving issues:
The following items I wrote down while trying to narrow down teh problem:

*After opening a previous file made with Alpha 7.2, I experience some saving issues after playing around with latest build (5-12-2014). I receive the message that "Max is unable to rename temporary scene file" ......"possible Max file is corrupt......". It only happens when you switch between Progressive mode and Bucket mode and change the amount of pases and back to Progressive mode.
*It does not happen with a new file.
*It does happen to a new file when switching between the different rendering modes for a number of times.
*Problem solved after rebooting the system.
*But: It happens again to a new file when switching between the different rendering modes for a number of times. This time Max cannot save the file because it cannot save a BackUp file.

*Current conclusion: I guess there is something wrong with the .$sv files ....

Still experiencing these issues with build 6-12-2014

Edit: Did the same test with Alpha 7.2 and did not have those issues.

Is it possible to get a list of what has changed in this matter? I ask this because I happen to be cleaning and improving the SlateConnector and I rely heavily on CoronaMtl properties :)

Here are the properties for CoronaMtls before (left) and after: https://www.diffchecker.com/dac4xo9p

Great thanks Martin!

I see there are some mistakes:
 .texmapAbsorption (mapamountAbsorption) : float
 .texmapScatterColor (mapamountScatteringColor) : float

please report any other inconsistencies you find

I have same problem. Simple save file didn't work, 3dsmax shows this error and works only saving as new file with new name.

I've fixed the saving problem and I am updating the build

[Stan_But]

It still happens(



file was merged with a new scene and system had rebooted, but..

[Ondra]

The build is not up yet. Try in 5 minutes

I made some tests of direct light sampling. The new builds are much cleaner in most areas of the rendering, but now there are problems in darker regions. It seem the firefly's need longer to go away. And somehow the indirect illumination is cleaner as well.

Cool!

I will have to wait until I finish the render of my current project, next week probably.

Cheers!
