Quote - > Quote - I just read on the DS forum that 1.2 RC are released but there is a serious displacement bug that prevents Reality to run with it. When is this going to be resolved?

That is not a bug at all. There was a bug in the displacement algorithm in all releases of Lux up to now. The bug caused the displacement to be inverted. Reality worked around that bug by adding code in the Lux scene that inverted the direction of the displacement once more, effectively making the direction correct.

So, Lux 1.2 is correct, but if you use displacement the result will be inverted because of the correction applied by Reality. I might issue a fix at some point but:

a) I'm on vacation away from home :)

b) RC releases are RC releases so this version of Lux is not final and it make little sense to issue a Reality update until Lux is not finalized.

Cheers.

 

This confuses me I remember you supporting the release of Lux 1 RC? We will not be able to move forward without that correction. Enjoy your vacation...
