New version: Development release

Post by anvar »

MultiScatter is currently undergoing some improvements mostly for better integration with V-Ray.
If anyone wishes to try development releases, they will be posted here (existing customers only).

Download MultiScatter 1.044.084 (beta)

NOTE: No need to renew activation every time you reinstall, change or update 3DS Max or plugin, unless you see license error message in 3DS Max

Please note that version numbering has changed.
It's also better to uninstall previous version completely, and make sure no files left in 3ds max directory with "multiscatter" in their names.

Change Log:
  • Better V-Ray integration.
  • Regular distribution bug fixed (affecting mostly DR rendering).
  • Motion blur support for V-Ray.
  • VRayProxy "Flip Axis" option support.
  • Improved rendering speed for > 1M instances and > 16 cores setups.
  • Version numbering changed from 1.x.x.x to 1.xxx for releases and 1.xxx.xxx for development version.
  • Option for choosing V-Ray version is added during the installation.

Is it need to uninstall previous version (1.3.6.11) for installing the newest (1.055)?

hi,
just upgraded from 1.3.6.11 to latest 1.055. On my local machine it goes through the Light Cache and renders fine but animation through backburner all machines are hung constantly `unloading geometry`. I tried reinstalling 1.3.6.11 and it`s fine again.
Using Vray 3.40.03 and MS 1.055 with Vray 3.4/5 selected on install. I also tested without install version set to `none` and same result.
All machines have 32gb.
Win7, 3dsmax 2016
tested it several times, same result.
thanks
