Bugs:

1. Month names are sorted alphabetically - should be sorted by month number (January first, December last)

2. hour accepts values more than 24, day the same - error box appears, but dialog closes and value is set eg. to 40 (in day/hour input box)

3. sky dome intensity allows to set negative value (error box appears but dialog closes)

4. image format select box still offers GIF image format although is not longer supported by renderer (1.1.33)

5. Input boxes for hour/day allows to enter more than two digits[/list]

6. (SERIOUS) pressing F1 everywhere in Rhinoll plugin crashes Rhino immediatelly

6. Physical Sky radio button doesn't work ( if you select it , choose another tab and come back to change something, the physical sky have changed to skydome ) - reported by Iker

8. bad Sun behaviour.. see post in Bug forum: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 6779#16779

9. Materials not saved reliably in the file. I have several instances where re-openning a model has some materials simply forgotten. There is not a pattern as to which ones are forgotten. Sometimes its dielectrics, sometimes emitters and so on (and other times they work as expected) - reported by Thomas An

10. - Copying from one Rhino instance and pasting to another Rhino instance will cause the render options of the second to be lost and replaced with those of the first - reported by Thomas An

11. Turbidity value of less than 1.7 will render black - reported by Thomas An

12. Bad physical sky - see http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 8634#18634

13. Importing an object (or another 3dm) overwrite settings of render

14. A material set to diamond will revert to crown when you reopen the file, but all the settings remain unchanged. (Alexandre13)

15. If I create a box and create a emitter material, than the object properties jump to "basic". If I activate "plugin" again, the emitter material is back again, but if I close the emitter material it jump to basic again (Micha)

16. Camera cosine channel does not work by itself. It renders only when one of the other chanels are selected. (ThomasAn)


wish: Today button - which sets actual date/month/time

question: will be possible to add another location? eg. by selecting 'add another' in select box?

It does it. I have 0.5.1. Switch to physical sky radio, select another tab and return back to Environment. The radio will be switched back to Sky Dome

Oops. Not enough coffee yet. The radio button setting only sticks if you retire the dialog with OK, no matter which way you change it.

Frances wrote:The radio button setting only sticks if you retire the dialog with OK.

Yes, you are right.
The last thing to change in the settings has to be the Physical sky and then press OK (if you want to use PhysicalSky of course )

What I do is set skydome=0

Material "emitter" Bug:

It renders only when one of the other chanels are selected.

Hallo,

I have the problem that I can not save renderings. The automatic output image dosn't work too, for example I can not open the "bmp" format or the "tga" will not be writen on the hard disk. Any suggestions? At the moment I use screenshots, but if I render big scale images, I can not make a screenshot.

You have already specified a project directory and it still doesn't save ?

Upps, my image browser dosn't support tga. In the explorer I can see it and can open it. Sorry, but bmp dosn't work here. An image is on the hdd, but I can not open it. Could somebody test it too?

Micha, I did the test and BMP works. I can open it in either Firefox or PaintshopPro.
