hi anvar,
thanks for responding. strange it was working with the license we have now, it makes me think maybe i wasn`t running 1.3.6.11 after all ?
it`s probably more sensible just to update to the latest version now i think about it !
cheers

Hi,

We`re running Multiscatter 1.3.6.11 on 3dsmax2016 but today it says `License not found`. License tool says it expires in 2023 ? (we have 2 licenses)
We also run 1.085 on 2019 which seems to work fine.
I haven`t changed anything so has 1.3.6.11 expired or something ?

thanks

hi, sorry to bring this up again. i played a bit more with the stadium scene and i`ve narrowed down the issue to scattering type `regular pattern` . using this it`s extremely slow, switching to random distribution and it`s very fast . there is no equivalent slowdown using regular pattern on a surfac...

hi anvar, i`ve just tried the updated version and it is a lot quicker, not realtime, maybe 5-6 seconds for timeline to update. interestingly i tried loading the original `old` file and it`s about the same, around 5 seconds. however in the stripped down version of my scene (just the `MS FANS` , 1 fan...

hi anvar,

I`ll give downloading that a go.
As for the fans, as i mentioned it never used to be an issue, it just sort of crept in over time.
I`ll try new version first.

thanks

hi anvar,
1.060 latest i think. yes 1.06.0.

hi, as an addendum i`ve stripped the scene down to just 1 MS object with 1 proxy and moved the assets to local drive and it`s just as slow. I`ve also tested merging the proxy back in scene and just using the mesh and the timeline has sped up (although the animation has been removed by merging) so ma...
