Posts: 975 		Just playing with layers and the "characters fall through ground planes on invisible layers" feature is a real issue for me.

My parrots have literally just fallen of their perch !

What would be really useful is having F9 to toggle between "view all layers even the invisible ones" and "view only the ones marked as visible".

I'm on it.

But I can't do anything about this, sorry. Send me a maid and an F14 key and I might be able to take a look.

I noticed this. When I had a wee play with the new version.
When you split your set into layers you have to make sure that you include all objects/floating ground planes that are used to keep your characters in position on the same layer. So a bit more forward planning is required,eg if your character were to walk across the set and walks over a table you'll have to include the table on that layer otherwise when you render and piece the layers together in your editor the character will appear to walk through it... Well not through it exactly but over the top of or behind the image of the table instead of over.

Cheers

While your "on it" could you pick another button which will "hide all" to hide cameras, effects, objects etc(whatever we select in "hide all" check box style) too?

Since you asked so nicely, no. On second thoughts, how about F13?

All cameras/effects/objects/characters? You mean the exit button?

That looks like a brilliant and logical solution - yes please!

Edit: Does F10 do anything at the moment? I keep closing the cameras window by accident and a shortcut would be helpful to toggle it.

The trouble is if you put your character on a ground plane that is in the same layer and then make that layer invisible then they fall through it. This can't be right.
If I hide a layer and then make it visible again then I expect it to look like it was when I hid it.

F10 is a standard Windows key that moves keyboard focus to the menu so you can use them with the cursor keys. I suspect no-one ever uses it like that, but I worry about overriding Microsoft's built-in quirks. It often brings nasty side effects.

I think a Ctrl+Something shortcut is more in keeping with toggling a window anyway (like Ctrl+W for the scene window). I'll try think up a suitable one (e.g. Ctrl+F15).

Hmmn.. Maybe I never tried to hide it again after inclusion on the same layer. I'll try again when I'm home. Thought I had a solution there doh!
Seems to be a fair problem if that is the case. Ground planes are used consistently to work around the horrible collision nature of Muvizu.

Over to you Robert..

Posts: 494 		Hi everybody, I've just recently returned to Muvizu after rebuilding my life. I upgraded to the July version in July and then upgraded my PC to Windows 10 on 1/8/15.

Muvizu worked for a day or two and then would not load any more, giving me this screen.....



I downloaded the 4/8 version from the website, uninstalled and did a fresh install. I got the same problem. I've rolled back to the July version with again a clean install and re-entered my product key. For now it seems to be working although this was only last night so I haven't had a chance to check much. Just wondered if it was me, Muvizu, Windows 10 or a combination of all three?

i3, 4GB ram, Win 10 Home, Intel (R) HD Graphics.

Posts: 151 		We've had several reports of Muvizu not running after a windows 10 update. I'm still looking into what is going on.

Woz - are you running DX9 or 11 in the July version?

it was set to DX11, it was weird, one day it worked and the next day crash on startup. The August version that wouldn't work was on DX9 ( the default ), I didn't even get a chance to change it.

EDIT: I did a DirectX and Visual C repair/install as well.

Posts: 151 		The August release should be using DX11 as the default now. Are you using DX11 on the version that works?
