3dsmax2014 FYI

[Björn Radler]

So lets see how this one performs .....

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm intrigued to install it... I really just want to know if Nitrous viewport background image resolution issues have been fixed, and hoping nothing major has been broken. 2013 is a complete mess, for me, so I think I'm just going to take the plunge....

I would'nt bothering even downloading, let alone installing. The viewport is slower than in 2012, let alone 2013!! And thats just the first thing I tried.

A 45 million poly tree scene, instanced geometry, in 2012 nitrous is 30 fps, and the new nitrous in 2014 is about 10/12 fps using a 580 gtx card.

I can conclude that after running through their new features, none of them are worth £3,500!!!!

Just got a trial... not sure how did ur nitrous drop by my 680 gtx 4gb is going like crazy... A lot smother with max 2014 than 2013... very good update on my end... too bad I dont use it as my main soft anymore

I took the plunge and installed it at home. V happy so far after a quick test. Nitrous textures are FIXED! Safe Frames are also fixed. Finally. Performance I have no idea at all - need to test it at my studio. So far, so good.

Vray Light Lister does not work ?

[vlado]

There was a small problem with the V-Ray light lister; if you go to our web site and re-download the V-Ray installation for 3ds Max 2013, it will be fine.

Best regards,

Nope - gives scripting errors.

[vlado]

<shrug> works fine for me.

Can you post a screengrab of the errors?

I'll see what happens on my main workstation at work. I think my installation at home on my laptop is having issues because of the very old graphics chip and driver.

VrayLightLister - Error

reinstalled Vray ... now the startup error is gone ... but when i create a vray light and run vraylightlister from tools menu i get this error

[vlado]

Grrr will fix it (and perhaps some heads will roll), but in the meantime, just drop the following file in "c:\program files\autodesk\3ds max 2014\scripts\startup"

Best regards,
Vlado
