yep, no problems so far. It fixed the refine spline command so im a happy bunny
I refused to run max8 cause of the spline bugs and other issues but Ive since installed SP1 and no real issues I can find yet 
I mite actually put it into the pipeline if all is good over the next couple small projects Im working on.

I haven´t got any problems with it either.
I’m crashing more…but can never tell if it’s because I’m doing new stuff at the same time or if it’s just less stable. Sometimes the fix one thing and ruin 3 other things. Ya never know.
vray seems to work fine with it though. I’ve been using it since the day after sp1 came out.
hmm, I guess maybe that’s only been about a week, but still no problems yet.
I am actually getting VRay errors since installing Max 8 SP1. I have reinstalled VRay with no luck.
Basically, on launching Max, it says both plugins for VRayFur and VRayPlane failed to initialize.
I am going to try and uninstall Max, wipe, and install it all again to see if that changes anything.
Same problem shaneburger and a reinstall fixed the problems. Also watch out that you have your paths correct to the plugins of Vray.
it has been mentioned before that those plugins have issues with vray and max 8, i think there is a vray build for max 8 at the download section which could resolve those issues as I dont have any of those messages.
one of our computers had the same prob as shaneburger.
We have 3. I just copied those from my machine and pasted them onto hers. It fixed the problem without a huge reinstall.
Hi!
we have weird problems with max8 sp1 Vray1.47.03 (for max8)
and Backburner, let me explain:
we are currently doing some animations and rendering through backburner
on 4 comp, the max file has all the textures/destination paths specified through
the network (full path)
the manager comp renders everything normaly
the clients do what they want (for example a vray displacement doesn’t
appears on only one comp, but the rest are normal)
and it starts to make me loose lots of time cause I can’t spot the problem
source.
we already did a previous work (it was max7.5 back then) with the
same method, and everything worked just fine, fast network render,
life was beautiful then :lol:
now I don’t know what is bugging, max8? vray? (please don’t shoot)
when I render scenes without Vray, it’s working fine (for example to save
time I render opacity mapped object with the default scanline render and
add the pass in After Effects) but when Vray scenes render (mostly the
vray displacement) there is problems.
yesterday night I did a network render again, when I came at work I saw
that after few frames 2 comp crashed (timeout??) I reassign the same
job to a comp and it rendered normally (???)
I’m really lost…
I specified the Vray Displacement file throught the network, still the same
problem :?
I’m doomed :shock: (I have to finish this project on Thursday, and I have
a huge amount of work left to do..) I’ll need some serious coffee :lol:
edit: and I can’t say that it is a network problem cause when I’m at work
the network is fine..
mediadream I never had those kind of problems..have you isntalled backburner 3 patch? that could be something to do with it.
Pardon me, a patch? :shock:
Ouch.. I didn’t installed any patch for backburner that comes with Max8,
the only patch I installed was the Max8 Sp1 
I’ll search for this, thank you so much!
(I pray for this to be the answer of our problems 
)
my apologies, the backburner patch is still in the beta works, and is not released 
I was going to post that I can’t find it :lol:
erRrrR.. I guess I’ll have to suffer 'til the end of this project :lol: :? 
Then the problem might come from Backburner? well, not really easy for
you to guess I know, but I’m totally lost, only default scanline renders
work fine with Max8 and Backburner 3.
I miss Max7.5 already..
but I can’t understand a simple thing, is Autodesk searching to look like
Microsoft? I mean, do they want to release software that only works
after you applied several Service Pack? :shock: I know it’s hard to spot
every single bug, but they also try to release new ver to keep competiting
other softwares and I hope it’ll not turn for us, licensed users, becoming
beta testers and having to keep downloading patch/sp to have an healthy
workflow :?
I mean, after receving our Max8 I checked the website and saw that
a Sp was already needed to correct bugs :shock: (it must be tuff for
someone with a simple 56k connection)
anyway, I don’t wana look like someone who complains too much,
I hope in a near futur that we’ll not need any SP to get our software
works fine 
thanks again for trying to help us
somehow they must provide value to the subscribers
ever since they adopted that “one major version every 12 months” schedule things have gotten worse
cu mike
btw: we already had problems with backburner back at max 6 - it really is a shame you have to update backburner with every version of max you install on your machine
unfortunately the alternatives (smedge3, deadline, i think there were more) are a bit costly
Max8sp1 is really unstable IMHO, when I do multiple undo it crashes
almost everytime :shock: (now I have to save before doing undo… ???)
(and when I say undo I mean, I move an object few cm away from its
previous place and then do a CTRL+Z…)
:?
really… we havent had a chance to work with m8 yet, but sounds dreadful
Hm, can’t say that Max 8 is very instable. I do not have any problems, yet. No “undo-error”, no crashes at all.
:roll:
one i got right away was monitor crash when switch to task summary. this has been reported many times, lets hope new sp for bb3 will fix it.
lol we got a lucky one then :lol: :lol: :lol:
can’t say the scenes I work are very heavy but on two different comps,
a dual Xeon 2.80 and a dual opteron 270 (with two different scenes) the
same thing happen, I do undo and max will crash or do the undo very
slowly (after 30sec or so..)
hope Sp2 comes out soon
