[ARCHIVE] Pre-1.0 Daily builds

[juang3d]

I asked for permission before doing and posting it :)

Cheers!

[cecofuli]

Yes, sure ;-) Everything is ok!

Thanks =)  I didn't see
I'm VRay beta tester and it's absolutely denied to share info about internal/daily version =)

Yet another difference. ;)

[juang3d]

Tutorial removed.

I'll re-do it in the near future.

Cheers!

Usually I had no problem with it, but I will probably need to re-think the policy in the future - most of the times it is OK, but here, because the UI was re-done massively twice, the middle step should be forgotten and erased from everywhere - if it floats around, it could add up to confusion.

Yes, but it's understandable. When you become commercial, it's better to work in an "hidden mode", and show only what is official.
First, to avoid misunderstandings with the "normal" users. According, to make the job of programmers and moderators easier. I personally agree with the choice of Chaosgroup.

Question about daily builds/1.0.

There will be adaptive progression in Progressive like in bucket mode?

Cheers.

what exactly is not working? I see the "enable dof" checkbox might be bugged, but otherwise it seems to work. Are you using build from 10. 1.? There was a bug with some controls not being plugged in in the 9.1.

The latest build is incredibly broken!!!

- Mask RE doesn't render anything, is black

- The (idiotic - just my opinion on the buttons) renderer rollouts buttons cannot be pressed more than one at a time, only one rollout is active, which is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING!!!!! If this is a feature, jesus f**k!!! I'm sticking with the December 2014 version until the devs come to their senses.

- Sometimes the RE VFBs don't show up at all. Sometimes they do.

and more... I'll report as I stumble upon those...

Are composite layers working correctly for you guys in the latest build (10/01/15) - I've got a simple material, in the diffuse I have a composite layers - 3 layers in there, on two of the layers I have fall offs - no texture is rendering, just a solid diffuse colour?

-Edit : Seems like a bug here, Created a new material and copied the diffuse, now works fine - this has happened a few times when running Deadclowns material conversion script, the diffuse isn't recognized until a new map is created with exactly the same parameters, then all is fine

#1 and #2 is caused by switching from new build back to old one - all materials "Visible in masks" checkbox gets unchecked. There are no problems when going forward. I will try to find a solution that will permit going to older builds. You can create a maxscript that will set all your materials "visible in masks" property to solve this.

#2: right mouse button works as before

Cheers, figured out the material switch after some more testing.

The buttons, I still think they're ... well... you know. :)

Unfortunately, i have no time to test Corona lately at all. Fired max today just to see new changes, and must say i fell in love with new Render Settings UI. The only gripe is that by default it starts with About/License tab opened. I think it'd be more sensible to have Main tab opened by default.

Any reason why HDcache (legacy) is the default secondary GI when installing/opening max?  shouldn't it be UHDcache these days?
