The release notes are for 11.3 itself. What improvements in this update warrant installation of a new build?

Anyone?

i can now successfully render a 3000 x image. I could not before the update, but I don't know if that was intentional or not!

There's an icon on material files to indicate they're material files - which is helpful when you do a search so you know what's a prop and what's a material file (except for the content where people put the materials in the Pose folder so it would work in Daz...)

They changed the search feature to apparently be narrower - or so they say. I'm not sure there's really an improvement there - it still needs work. I'm still being frustrated by the auto-complete, completing it to a product I didn't want. They seem to have left more things in folders instead of opening the folders.

I've had more interface issues than before - odd things popping up - like opening Poser and there's a morph window - or working in it and my display switches to something funny.

They put L'Homme in - he has no clothes and no hair ...

I have not used / noticed any other features - well the problem is, I notice things when I need them and then I don't know if they've always been there or it's something new, because until I need them, they're invisible to me anyway.

Thank you, folks. I think I'll skip it!

I have often rendered scenes that are 7016 X 2480 without any issues so I am not sure there is a fix included.

The latest production build is 11.3.816. There have been a few minor updates since 11.3.740 including fixes for Queue Manager cross platform rendering and fixes for certain content creator tools. If you haven't encountered problems in those areas, there's probably no rush to upgrade.

Hi Tim

What fixes to which content creator's tools? Is there a listing somewhere?

Oh, and by the way 11.3.740 changed all the Superfly render settings presets and / or renamed them - that was a bad change.

The default Superfly preset now when you open Poser isn't saved - it's not what the "default" is - and the presets as they previously were - are completely lost unless you had saved them yourself. If you want the default back after applying another preset - you have to go save that yourself (or close Poser and start a new scene.)

and now update of the 26th?

I am back to 11.2. 11.3 will not save the objectfile when i save a cr2. It is not refreshing files that i change with an editor. Have to restart the pc everytime. So i will wait for 11.14 ;-)

Hi folks, I dropped in to see about reporting a bug with PP 11.3.740 (PC, Win7 Pro 64). And find posts about a new update. Dunno if it will change anything for me, but the problem I have is PP 11.3 crashes while exiting (closing program), every time. But only when exiting. It does fine I think while in use, even loaded to the gills with items or empty sitting idle waiting patiently for me to do something with it. PP 11.3 has not crashed at any other time than on exit. Its why I took so long to look at reporting this bug or glitch. Will get this new update installed this weekend.

Guess I didn't rate a response of any kind.

@EldritchCellar - it was mentioned in a different thread - something about morphs that were broken. It's not personal - it's that Renderosity's forum software is broken - they don't send you follow up notices that people have replied - so those that have posted here, simply don't know there are more posts unless they happen to browse the forums and notice by accident.

I've installed 11.3.816 - I've not noticed any difference - since I didn't have the morphs problem. It does crash every time I try to add a group to a bone in the setup room - I don't know if I'm doing something wrong - most likely - but even so it should give me an error message, not crash every time.

In general I've found 11.3 to be less stable and more prone to crashing - .816 does not fix this.

Thanks for the response PandaB5.

I haven't noticed any problems with morphs. I've been morphing both V4 and La Femme extensively in Mudbox, Wings, and Blender. if anything Poser's import/export and morph management behaviors are the best I've seen them across the board (of course the last version I left off at was 8).

I haven't started rigging anything, just a little joint editing. If Poser is crashing in that function that's very alarming. I've only had maybe 1 crash in the past couple months since I've started using 11.3 and that was during a long render cancel, which is typical behavior going back to Poser 7 or earlier.

I will note that I've never once had a crash in Poser (in any version) while attaching a bone to a group, so very peculiar.
