Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 13 6:58 am)
Subject: Has anyone seen anything strange with the new 39290 build?
Can't say as I've noticed anything unusual. Seems to be working fine for me

I've noticed something strange but not sure if it was this build or earlier (only noticed because I've been busy creating mats and it affected one of them)
Any material with the scale set to 1.00 comes in at 1.09 - even the basic Flat Grey. BUT only if I have the scene set to Imperial units. If I revert back to Metric (grunt - old fart like me prefers old money) the scale is correct at 1.00. However, if I'm using Imperial and reset the scale to 1.00 and save it - it's still ok when I load that mat. SO saving in this build keeps it but loading mats made in earlier builds or older versions, it gets messed up.
I've already raised a ticket on this.

lightning2911 - that could actually be a year or more away.
Love esther
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!

Esther, may I ask why you say that? Since Vue7 was released (in November 4th), this is the 3rd update already. The first two releases are not in beta anymore, according to the statement in their site. So, this means that each release only stays in beta for aproximately one month.
We've (sort of) figured out the material scale problem.
Lee Randall also had his display units set to imperial but the scale was right on loaded materials.
I did some changing around - my internal unit was set to Yards, that's when it was making the scale 1.09.
If I set it to Feet then the scale comes in at 3.28
Set to Inches then it's 39.37
Having the internal unit set to Imperial screws it up and it seems Vue then converts thing sto metric (on the assumption of there being 39.37 inches to 1 metre).
I set it to Metrres but left the Display Unit at Imperial and now it does'nt change the material scale.
I still can't say if this is happening in just the lates build or if it happened in earlier builds - I only just noticed it......

OT: I investigated a bit now and found that UK officially made the transition to the metric system in 1995. The other commonwealth countries also officially changed. USA is the only country that still officially uses the imperial system (or "US costumary units", as it's officially called there). That's interesting!

Well Artur, I'm an old fart! When I went to school it was always feet and inches.
We also worked in pints and gallons, not litres.
I even look at the Farenheit side of my thermometer, not Centigrade.
Our money changed over from Pounds, Shillings and Pence when I was about 9 or 10 so I did get used to decimal currency.......
It's just what I was always used to and don't want to change just because our barmy government wants to fall in line with EU.
Climbs off soapbox now
:b_funny:

I see... but I don't think that UK changed because of the EU only. Don't forget that Australia, New Zealand, etc, etc, also changed to metric system. Actually, Australia and New Zealand did it many years before UK did it, so it was not an influence from UK. Even Canada, so close to USA, has partially converted.

Since I'm in the U.S., I automatically comprehend measurements in feet, inches, etc. It is so ingrained in me that I perceive those measurements based on visual associations.
If you say "6 ft.", for instance, I immediately think of the height of my father.
It's only when something is told to me in meters or litres that I have to do mental calcuations. :P

In fact, it's even more complex than that, as not all US units are not the same as UK (Imperial) units of the same name. The only example I know for sure is the gallon - in the UK about 4.5 litres but significantly less in the US.
We should all be metric, then perhaps engineers wouldn't calculate in two different systems and lose expensive Mars probes... (http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/msp98/news/mco990930.html)

That's exactly how I am. I can visually percieve things in imperial but not metric, though I know 1 m is just under 1 yd but that's all.
If I know I'm going somewhere that's 10 miles away - I know jsut how far that is and roughly, traffic permitting, how long it'd take me. If someone said 'It's 10 kilometers away'......well, I just wouldn't have a clue.
I've not been in any job where metric knowlege is important so why change ?
I make cakes using ounces not grammes and they come out lovely, fluffy and light

All you need is a flexible mind, I've mixed and matched units most of my working life, working with people from all over the world at the same time, even now at home we think in different units. I think in metric but explain to my wife (ex US) in ft/inches and with the neighbour who hails from the UK in Imp. units. Real measurement wonders are the number of "tonnes" used by the shipping world (5 or 6 that I can think off) and the Swedish mile (still seen occasionally on rural roadsigns) that will get you at 10k when you think you only have a mile to walk. A neat transfer campaign was run in OZ in the 70's on the Redhead matchboxes, Think Metric with samples :).
I'm a bit like hein - I'm as comfortable in metric and imperial - Grew up in Israel, lived 18 years in the UK and now in the US, so I can convert units on the fly depending who I'm talking to...
Gill - I'm pretty sure Lee Randall at e-on is a she not a he - I talked to her on the phone:)

Q: Which is heavier, an ounce of gold or an ounce of lead?
A: Gold. Precious metal weights are measured in troy ounces, and a troy ounce at 480 grains weighs more than an avoirdupois ounce at 437.5 grains.
Q: Which is heavier, a pound of gold or a pound of lead?
A: Lead. There are 16 avoirdupois ounces in an avoirdupois pound but only twelve troy ounces in a troy pound.
I'll stick to metric, thank you very much!

I haven't installed it yet hoping to see some more feedback about it. But those that have installed the newest build have you experienced anything odd?
Thanks, now I will cruise over to the Corn3d forums and have a look see about this.
