Wow. I can't recall when an update to A:M was as immediately useful as this one has been already.

Specifically the Camera View addition, Textured Grid (haven't delved deeply here yet but I will soon) and.... better rendering Boolean cutters!

And I haven't had a chance to look yet at some of the others but I know the SSS speedup will be appreciated and rendering from Perspective view is something I've just committed to using for a project.

 

Very nice!

 

Edit: And oh my goodness... I completely skipped over the lineitem for ' 6311: Patch Images do not Bake'

Thank you!

Am I the only one that lost the ability to rotate my view on the local axis of a control point while modeling? A:M will only rotate on the global axis of the model when I turn it.

 

Is there a keyboard shortcut to turn that on or off, or is it broken?

Yes, that is what I am saying. Selecting a control point and then turning only rotates around the global axis of the model, not the local axis of the control point any more. I went back to version J and is works fine. Version K it does not.

Can someone confirm this feature is missing?

 

The backslash key (/) 'used' to toggle between a perspective view and an orthographic view in a model, action or pose. I see it is gone now in 18.0k ( I think I have K installed... splash still says J and so does the about screen...) Just wondering.

Matt, I'm testing v18m now and in that version, the backslash ( \ not / ) does still toggle between perspective and Orthogonal view, although the shortcut doesn't show in that menu.

 

Note that you can't go to Orthogonal view while looking through a camera.

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

 

I just did a Reset Settings on v18 m and it still uses backslash as the toggle for Perspective view and doesn't use Num9.

 

What am I missing?

I note that in v18L (and I checked this before on v18K when it was released) that the Number 9 (on numberpad) toggleds between Orthogonal and Perspective *only after* the view has been altered from the default camera view. In other words if you click in the Chor window and turn out of the camera view the Number 9 keystroke will work.

Downloaded V L... in a model or action/pose... the 9 key will toggle between ortho/perspective... the backslash does nothing anymore... and right click to see the view/menu has no shortcut key listed (should say 9)

 

I may program the backslash key to do the toggle(as Rob suggested) just because it is ingrained in my workflow...

you could try to delete the mac file

 

I had to do this per Steffen's instructions in the changelog for release of v18k.

Although I don't recall every changing the default keyboard acceleration.

    Switching viewmode to perspective has now as default keyboard shortcut VK_NUMPAD9 (9 on the numpad) , only active if You have not changed any keyboard acceleration at "Customize->Commands->Keyboard" to get the default acceleration back , You need to delete the file Master.MAC(Master_64.MAC for the 64bit version) in the A:M directory.

 

Because I tend to be a bit wary of deleting installed program files directly I usually rename the file, see if the new one works, and then delete the old file if all is well.
