3dsmax 2017

We aren't running 2017 at the moment, is it safe to say if you have VRay you might as well stick with TriPlanarTex?

Hi,

Talking about latest max2017 update, can we safely presume VRay is fully compatible with the new Data Channel modifier (or is it the other way around :P) ? still on max2016 here though, but I'd rather ask.

Thanks.

is it safe to say that upgrading max is safe altogether ?

vray fully working with 2017.1

Edit: but I have not tested with new .1 feature...
With this update, 3ds max still create dump file on exit, without reason

No problems here. I crash maybe once a day, but that's okay with me. I started off crashing hourly, then several times a day, so it is almost perfect for me.

There are still 2 bugs I'd like to see fixed but the new EXT is pretty awesome. We have a file internally where a lightsaber is stretching based on movement with data channels and it's pretty impressive. I'll be trying to put together a demo package of usage cases in the coming weeks and post it on the area.

I uploaded 8 DataChannel sample files and some video.
Have fun with DataChannel modifier!

It seem that there isn't issues for WIN10 users, just the WIN7 folks. And it seems that it is wide spread.

still unusable for me even after update as I have a quadro k2000m card and it loves to crash......Alfred DeFlaminis over in the Autodesk forums has been really helpful and is still looking into it....

[Sbrusse]

My point 10 reply above really make so much sense :/
