Maya plug-in V2: image based env texture rotation broken#309260

Major bug in the image based environment settings:

rotating the texture using Offset U doesn't work correctly anymore. The value must be set between -1 and +1: in Maxwell 1.7, this translated as expected to a rotation between -360° and +360°. But in version 2, this translates to a rotation between -1° and +1°!
The viewport is displaying the rotation correctly, but the MXS file produced by Maya has the wrong rotation.
The only workaround is to export the MXS, load it in studio, and set the correct Offset U there.

Maxwell 2, Maya 2010, Mac OS X 10.5.8.

The offsets are bugged in other plugins as well. There will be an update soon that will fix it.

Code: Select all

Jeez I've been trying all kinds of values for half an hour. Any idea on how "soon" the update will come ?
Is there a workaround to this other than rotating my entire scene ?

We're trying to get the update ready this week, almost all the reported issues are fixed already. There's no workaround for this bug, other than exporting the scene as MXS and adjusting the offset in Studio.

That sounds great, Mihnea! I´m really looking forward that update. There are some issues but I just bought my update to V2. The render speed with the new Mac 64-Bit version totally rocks!
