Re: SP2???

[Leonard Koch]

One interesting bug that we recently hit is that Softimage crashes when you
load a 32 bit image (exr or hdr) into a texture map and then try to use it
in ICE.
This issue only occurs on CentOS 6.2.

Let me know if you want a simple repro scene.

Cheers

Re: SP2???

[peter_b]

of course I do - it wasn't serious.
and it's not just a matter of shear amount of resources needed - there's the 
interdependence of bugs and code - fix one thing, you might break another - 
perhaps some issues/solutions are mutually exclusive.


still - for a final release (this one will be the last ever, will it not?) 
it would be nice to go out with a tiny bang

You realize any major 3D application has literally thousands of active bugs
at any one time, right?  Even with a team of 100 developers doing nothing
but bug fixing it's unlikely the application would ever reach bug-free
status.

The goal at this point is to remove all blocking issues and ensure features
that currently work do not regress.  Basically, just the stuff I reported.
The rest is unimportant ;-)

Hi Peter, I saw the vfxphd back in 2011. the subscription is yearly. so I
only remember he did some compo with the matte shadow and GI
That?s the only thing I?m asking: if anyone saw it (I believe it was lesson
2 or 3). Summarizing has nothing wrong.
*I didn?t say/wrote *"DESCRIBE SOME OF THEIR LESSON MATERIALS". So please
focus back on reading what I specifically wrote. Not what you think you?ve
read.

Good day.

come on man,

lesson materials??
not the way to ask.

Hi, long ago (years ago) I saw the vfx phd with Lucas Martell about
lighting in xsi.
I seem to recall on lesson 2 or 3 he talks about making a shadow matte
pass to "mask"
another GI pass he made with physical sun. I would like to know if anyone
could please
share the steps in that video correctly? since I don?t have access to
phdvfx.
I?ve been doing my own setup but it?s nothing like he did it.

Please help.
Thanks.

Best regards.

But if they are able to iron out ALL of the bugs, that would be a unique
selling-point to resurrect the software...
And that?s not even the main reason for that not being likely to happen.

Could that be another case of an in-compound nested 'reinterpret
location' node? 


  

Re: SP2???

[Martin Chatterjee]

Hi Hsiao Ming,

that's great news.

Could you please confirm that the *"Reinterpret Location"* compound bug has
been fixed for the upcoming SP2?

As far as I'm concerned this is probably the most critical 2015 bug out
there and we are keen on getting that one solved.

Thanks in advance,

Martin
