Hi Zoetropeuk

Did you try to open RC5 with Virtual PC… just curious?

[zoetropeuk]

I did yes, it seemed to all work but is just really slow as one would expect. It's certainly much faster than RC1-4 were on VPC though.

I imported a dxf file and NOTHING!

What I am doing wrong?

[mgroeteke]

massive import problems here, too - don't know if it is an OSX version problem, because i didn't see much reports on the 'studio RC' thread.

i've generated files with FZ in the formats OBJ, DXF and LWO all with different settings. they all load fine in other applications like C4D, modo. LW or EIAS. no way into studio! lots of testing ahead the NL programmers, i guess...

in this situation, working export plugins are the only way! ...waiting...

I imported a .3ds file from Sketchup but it was totally unresponsive.

I'll try a small file first...

.fbx import does not work on a Mac

confirmed! file selction dialog does not permit even to select files ending on .FBX!

Looks like a non-start tio me... no plugins, imports not working, no preview.

Are there *any* testers in the "A-Team" using Macs? Doesn't look like it.

This is the screen I get when I import a .3ds file from Sketchup:



What is it? ;-0

PS This is real shit! This is unacceptable!

It was supposed to be this:

i got very similiar results when testing my 3DS files generated with formz!

Looks like a scaling issue to me.

Have you tried to move the camera backwars quite a bit?

This is one of the many disadvantages of direct import:
You can't set the scale in your host plugin...

i already reported that studio is running at 100% CPU load all the time. i checked on a powermac G5 quad with the same result.

also, the stand alone renderer did not use more than 210% of the processing power. it switched forth and back between 100% and 210% when rendering the nloffice.mxs file. looks like the optimizations are not yet very advanced. 4 licenses used for the power of 2 - that's not a good deal

(EDIT: see some posts later, thread settings fix this)

in my case it was impossible. even moving back thousands of kilometers there was always a thick mess of lines...
