[Issue running trial]

What says the logfile ?

(master.log located in the installation directory)

[Hair Dynamic Options seems not working v18P]

Forces are affecting hair, but You need a very high magnitude for the force in V18 (values greater than 1000%) to see the effect, this will be fixed in the next version .

[SOLVED: Connecting two splines]

Sorry for the misleading information . I've looked today into the source and neymax is right there is no method for joining splines (AttachCP's doesn't work for this purpose) .

It's now on the todo , but needs a update for V18 , otherwise it won't work .

[SOLVED: Connecting two splines]

Should work with

 

HModelCache *hmc;

 

hmc->AttachCPs( cp1, cp2 );

where cp2 is attached to cp1

[Render Passes Feature]

Was a very old plugin from me , it's a long time included (I think V15 ) .

Description can be found at http://www.sgross.com/plugins/old/plugin3/index.html

[V18.0n]

I'm looking into the bug , but I'm not sure if I can fix it fast , because I'm going at saturday in my planned holidays (without computers ...), and after fixing it takes around one day to recompile all versions .

It's look like only the windows versions are affectet , it can be, thats the cause is a compiler switch (Intel2015 to Intel 2016)

[Mystery of the day!]

I'm on this , Please file a bug report .

And Nancy is right , it's a numerical problem ...

[Splines have shapeshifted]

Without a sample project I can't say what's going up here , nor fix if this is really a bug ...

[Need help with Mac stability]

My mac development machine is a

Mac mini (Mid2011)

Core I7 , 8GB

Radeon 6630M

using OSX10.7.5 (the last version , where I'm able to compile A:M, newer versions won't work, due same framework incompatibilities)

[OBJ exporter image resolution size]

Yes there will be intermittent resolutions (1024,2048,4096,8192) . As maximum a decal with 8192x8192 will be possible , because 16384x16384 is too big (around 1,5 GigaByte per decal) ...

The second problem is solved for the next version too.

 

But please open a bugreport anyway for this .

[OBJ exporter image resolution size]

I extends t he limits for the next version , is 16384x16384 big enough ?

[v18.0k]

It's changed as default to Numpad9 as in the changelog written , must look why it's not displayed .

[Is flocking broken in K ..no itsworking turn on particles]

Is "Show Particle/Fur" on ?

[v18.0k]

Is fixed in the next version , sideeffect from the camera switch

[New Feature: GridImages wizard]

Not in 18k , one version later first ....

[v18.0j]

With the simultaneous launch of the previous version I have displayed SSE3

(PC I7-860, WIN8.1, GTX-295)

sse34.jpg

Please open a report and attach there Your master.log file .The SSE4 version is only installed , if Your Cpu has AVX support . But a I7 should have this . Have you selected "Install AVX version" in the setup (page4)?

Your cpu doesn't support the AVX instruction set , thatswhy the SSE3 version is installed , I have upgraded silent from SSE4.2 to AVX for the fastest A:M version ....

 

Update

A changed version, where SSE4 (without AVX) included, is on the way

 

Update2

My provider doesn't like me , has anything against the update

[How to save HModelCache into mdl file]

No , there is no way to do this .

And Your code for setting the magnitudes is not correct .

check for cp->IsLoop() to prevent a infinity loop.

 

HSpline* sp = hmc->GetHeadSpline();
while (sp) {
HCP* cp = sp->GetHeadCP();
while (cp && !cp->IsLoop()) {
cp->SetInMagnitude(0.0);
cp->SetOutMagnitude(0.0);
cp = cp->GetNext();
}
sp = sp->GetNextSpline();
}

 

Most sdk functions are documented , download the file AM120SDKDoc.zip from the sdk download section. It represent not the latest stand , but it's a beginning point .

[How to save HModelCache into mdl file]

Saving modelcache will work first in V18h , need changes inside A:M and the SDK .

For HModelCache there will be than a HModelChache::ExportModel(FileStream hs) .

[Version 18 E beta?]

For the driver problem .

The error messages (for nvidia gpu's) means , that the gpu was "overrunning" with opengl commands from the application (in special glBegin/glEnd, which are producing a errorstate when no draw commands are in between) , for the amd gpu's , it's loke like they are more tolerant in such a case .

If this error occurs , please try to use the wireframe view , or reduce the resolution for shaded views (Decrease Subdivisions) .

[Version 18 E beta?]

Just looked over at the Mantis - it seems Steffen has solved the problem!!! :-)

 

woo hoo! what was the problem?

 

and by the way - How do you get bones to show in stick mode? - I haven't located the magic button yet.

 

You can find it under

Tools -> Customize -> Commands -> Draw

[expression RGB(r,g,b) has anyone used this]

From the doc for RGB expression

 

Creates a color by combining the three floating point values r, g, and b. These numbers should be expressed as 8 bit color, from 0 to 255.

 

Version 18e , will clamp the values between 0 and 255 self and using absolute values, so a translate propertie can used as example .

[v18d installation issues]

I should have noted that I was using the 64bit install. Things are working fine there.

I still haven't been able to get the 32bit installer to work (I thought I had but I'd mistakenly reinstalled 32bit v18b)

 

The error message remainst the same for me on startup of 32bit v18b:

 

Please uncheck the SSE4 option at installing , this files are not correct build .

I'll rebuilding the 32bit version tonight .

[v18b Hair Rendering Problem]

Was my fault , while I had changed some things to a faster random number generator .

It will be fixed in V18d . Hope I get it this version this weekend to Jason too .

[OpenGL problem with V17/V18]

Decided to see if there was something in particular with Papa Bear, so I fired up V18, Opened the library and imported a few models. Opened Eddie in shaded mode, works great. Opened the Giraffe and A:M crashes. Open the Knight, all good. Open KeeKat, and crash.

 

Maybe a problem with decals, discovered also on Nvidia gpu's (v18a , which will fix this is on the way) , but I don't have a machine with a intel gpu, so I can't test this .

 

I need to figure this out. Should a report be made, if so how do I get my log on enabled??

 

The logfile is always written , no longer need to enable this extra . It's located in the A:M installation directory (master.log) .
