MuvizuPlaySetupDXDotNetFull_2017.03.31.01R_x64

Windows 10 64 bit. Lots of memory and processor horsepower. Worked fine before new release.

Directx 11
I did not install C runtime, directx or net, I am up on date on all.

New videos seem OK

Any suggestions?

back as admin told me they were too old to be reactivated...Anyways I think about it every day.Bit Wonky..]]> Tue, 11 Apr 2017 01:39:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6296-new-version-release.aspx Message from solidsnake1977 I'm so sad about that ]]> Mon, 10 Apr 2017 19:46:26 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6296-new-version-release.aspx Message from rollasoc
But I have gone through the steps to created a corrupted file and the new save is not corrupted. So I can start using static lighting again in some of the bigger sets.

So that make me happy!]]> Thu, 06 Apr 2017 08:26:10 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6296-new-version-release.aspx Message from Rodrisilva edited by Rodrisilva on 06/04/2017]]> Thu, 06 Apr 2017 00:16:56 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6296-new-version-release.aspx Message from Rodrisilva I'll keep trying ...]]> Wed, 05 Apr 2017 22:14:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6296-new-version-release.aspx Message from PatMarrNC My test model is a simple box with a color applied. No texture or UV mapping

some observations:
1) trying to add transparency results in an error "File is in an unrecognized format". The cube still loads though, but the transparent surface is opaque. Apparently transparency isn't possible with the OBJ format... the procedures that work in FBX and ASE formats don't transfer to this format... it always ends up being a solid color.

2) when I load the cube as a hand attachment, the color goes from being all one color to half the original color and half a lighter shade of that color.

3) however, when applying the cube as hat or other types of attachment, the color doesn't change.

4) the model accepts textures and colors

5) I haven't had any problems with selecting the imported OBJ.... I recall that was one of the complaints when the importing of OBJ files was first introduced.

All in all, except for the lack of transparency support and the fact that the color changes when used as a hand attachment, the ability to import OBJ files as standalone or attachment seems to be working well here! This should make it much easier for people to add assets without having to worry about converting their models to ASE or FBX. However, due to the unique possibilities that ASE and FBX provide, those formats will continue to be useful

----update------
I had good luck with importing a cube, but as soon as I switched to other geometric shapes I got more errors ("this file is in an unknown format") and more instances of the imported file not being selectable.

It worked.

Not sure what I'm looking for. I will see if layers are fixed in this version so I can move to it...]]> Wed, 05 Apr 2017 15:46:42 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6296-new-version-release.aspx Message from PatMarrNC
Last update was static lighting and OBJ import, so without any official information, my guess is that this release makes those features improved in some way.]]> Wed, 05 Apr 2017 15:00:02 GMT
