hey mchopin. great u make it work with max9.
i tryed the beta with max9, but, as you now, it didnt worked.
now i downloaded your newest version and thought, it might be
a trial, but as max startes, redviewer wants a key from me.

perhaps there is a beta entrie at the registry?

or isnt it possible to use the download a few days as a trial?

best regards,

Sometimes, at first run, redviewer asks for a key (it seems to be a random bug). You can try to close and restart 3ds Max. It proves to correct the problem by the past. Otherwise, contact me directly to support@redway3d.com for a private debug session

i send you an email.

Hello,

as some of you may have experienced, there is a bug when using redviewer 1.5.105 with 3ds Max 9 WITH THE PRODUCTIVITY BOOSTER EXTENSION INSTALLED.

You have two choices:

1. download the patch
2. wait for the release of a new evaluation version (1.5.106) planned for today

Best regards,

hello mchopin,

patch works great. thx. just 2 things i noticed so far:

a) if you have AA in your nvidia driver enabled, lets say fix to 4x,
redviewer render just black. you have to disable fix AA.
maybe this is patchable.

b) it would be nice to have a global multiplier for redviewer, because, if you
are working in LWF with gamma 2.2, the redviewer preview and the rendering differ a lot.

Where's da x64 version ? I can't wait to test it!!!!

BTW - does redviewer support nvidia new AA methods (as now I'm an owner of 8800gts 640 mb)? So we don't need to turn on redviewer AA.
