New Release- new bugs

[rv1974]

Hi!
First off- many thanks ASGVIS team ;D- there's a real progress
I've just tried new RC (btw why there're 2 .exe files for SU6 with the same date ?).
Why so quiet? People have been waiting for ~8 month?
So far some problem found:
1. Copy-paste from file to file doesn't create new mats in vray editor.
Only 2-4 close-open new file helps. Must be fixed- one works from scratch.
2. The same happens after purging- no update in editor.
3. Sometimes faces with double-sided material applied are rendered as one-sided (back side- default mat)

I got and messagebox saying "invalid parameter" (translated from Norwegian) when i tried to edit any materials in V-Ray. When I clicked OK the messagebox appeared again in an endless loop.

I've run into these issues as well. the invalid parameter is critical. once this comes up...if you didn't save, you've lost all info back to previous save. I've also run into when I create a SU material, it doesn't appear in the render dialog. And the, "linked Vray material" is no longer there so there's no way to give values to an existing SU material. Noticed that groups or components still disappear randomly. I like where things are going though...please keep up the hard work.

also, if you open an older model, a dialog comes up saying that changes to your scenes may happen....I haven't noticed anything happening to my scenes but random materials will get rescaled down to 10". The material is always resized to 10". weird, annoying but not critical.

From what I understood from the readme file all SU materials are now automaticly linked with the V-RAY material.

I thought they will add some vray extention to the SU material editor but I was wrong
Has anybody conquered the displacement? :-\

Re: New Release- new bugs

what's displacement



... (sorry im showing off, if ur talking about displacement within the SR1, then the image above does not relate to that, i hasnt installed it yet)

Don't install it or make backup copies of your .skpies (btw you make fantastic stuff). SR1 screws up textures scales\position.
Just my 2 cents

Re: New Release- new bugs

Yeah...the service release screwed my render.But its my fault anyway for installing it.Anyway, is it really the official release candidate?

Yeah, it's a great idea that the Su materials automatically link with the V-ray material but it doesn't work. Since it doesn't work and you can't do it manually, you're screwed. I'm going back to the original release because this release is worse off.

Re: New Release- new bugs

Hi,

I gave a shot to the unofficial beta RC ..

so far :
Good improvement for sunlight ...

BUGS:
1/ Material don't stay in the model.. I tweak reflection/refraction. Save file, close and open..material gone to basic(only diffuse)
2/ DRspawner is instable and crash. Don't know why.

I'll try further, but for now I have to stick with the old bugs...deadline to meet.

Cheers

Re: New Release- new bugs

This feels more like a beta than a release candidate.

Before - Draw circle, pull to extrude into cylinder, render with V-Ray. Nice smooth curved surfaces. ;D

After Service Release - Draw circle, pull to extrude into cylinder, render with V-Ray. Terrible faceted un-curved surfaces. :'(

Its weird because the sampling stage of the render shows samples on a smooth surface, but the final render comes out faceted.
