pixelplucker Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I haven't used AM too much since I still have 15j on the CD and 16 didn't offer any worth while stability fixes here. Wondering if 17 is coming out soon? If so is there big fixes on the windows version for display refresh and over all program stability? Attached is one of the files that died on me Lock.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 16, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is this it? I did a small bit of detective work and repair. Lock2.zip I'm not sure what went wrong, it looks like one of the maps got a wrong tag somehow. I did this in v16 but it also loads and renders properly in v15 now. v16 does have quite a few stability fixes; I know that because i submitted quite a few crash bugs that got fixed. If we could identify what steps caused this particular problem, that could likely be fixed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 16, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 16, 2012 But when does v17 come out...? I think "real soon now" is the answer. When it shows itself it will still be just "beta" as it's only "alpha" right now. "Display refresh".... tell me more about what you mean.

pixelplucker Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 The crashes on 15j are easy to reproduce here. If I put decals on an object then copy paste to make more of those the program gets really slow then dies. Majority of the time I don't need to copy paste an object with a decal but in this case I had 3 thumb wheels with embossed numbers. Your a life saver. Simple job is killing me LOL Thanks!

I doubt this is significant, but make sure you have v15j+, not just v15j. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 16, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 16, 2012 One other note... on the fixed version, I flipped the normals to face out so the displacement map would make the numbers go in rather than out.

pixelplucker Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I do have 15j+. My stability problems I think are more because I am using Win7 64. It seems the older AM 15 is less stable now. When I had it running under XP pro 32 it ran rock solid. I have video refresh issues etc. Getting time to upgrade AM. Soon as 17 comes out I'll jump to that. The retopo feature is going to be really nice. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 17, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 17, 2012 But I've got Win 7 64-bit too. Something else is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
