I haven't been around much lately due to work outside now that it is spring and pretty weather. I did notice a new update for Vue Pro users at e-on's web site. Thought I would post it since I didn't see a notice about it here. :)

Great, will go get it tomorrow. Thanks, Sharen

It's a beta and even worse than the previous ones :-(( T J

TheJoker, is your video board one that is recognized by Vue Pro? Did you try disabling OpenGL? Last, did you contact e-on's tech support and discuss your problems with them?

The new update fixes the two bugs I mentioned here before: 1) Poser animations repeat - fixed 2) Open GL bugs in mover wizard - fixed Update is working fine for me now...well except some more bugs I've found with the mover wizard...

TJ, if you're referring to build 270045, I can't see anywhere on the site that it's a beta.

I'm glad to say it finally fixes the problem I've had with misnamed meshes in .obj imports.

Jon

To petshoo : yes to all! To jwhitham: when I downloaded it last week, it was written it was a beta. Regards TJ

TheJoker, and what did e-on tech support say?

About what? About my crashes? In resume: "they don't know why" :-(((((( Regards TJ

What kind of detail did you provide them with? All you've been saying here is "it keeps crashing!". I guess they need more info in order to help you out.

Do you really think that a 20 messages exchange with an e-on technician is done without details ??????? T J :-(

TJ - what kind of issues are you having again ? I just upgraded to 4.53 and I spent some time last night on a new picture. Vue was behaving normally until I started importing multiple objects from Poser. After that, although my scene was relatively simple, I reached something like 11 millions of polygons... and I had a crash every 20 mins. I will try to experiment some more tonight and see if I can reduce the number of polygons while keeping the same scene. So my question is... are you having crashes with simple scenes as well ? or is it only with large scenes or animations ? Also.. .what are the specs of your machine ? I have a P4 2.4 GHz with 1G of RAM and I was quick to reach the limits of capacity of my memory.

Well, if e-on was unable to fix your problem, you should ask for a refund. At least, that's what I'd do!

petshoo - we already discussed the possibility of a refund in a different discussion. e-on software does not have a refund policy.

To agiel: yes, I can have crashes with "simple" scenes also :-( For example: as soon as I want to create a camera animation on the timeline... In fact it seems that when I import a big file (some Onyx trees for example), it crashes less! This machine is a PIV 1.5 GHz, 896M of RAM, 2G of swap file, nVidia MX 440 video card, setup with Windows 2000 SP4. What else would be usefull to mention? It crashes with and without OpenGL and THE only message I get is (I translate ): " Vue4Pro.eon generated an error in Windows. This program will now be stopped and will have to be launched again. A diary is actually created. " Tested on my laptop with Windows XP Pro: same error :-( Installed "here" are... some other well know 3D softwares, which behave quite nicely... And Vue 4 "standard" is ROCK solid (as you say in english). Thanks for your interest Regards T J
