Mike,

Great job on the announcement It was worth waiting for. It's nice to see all of the positive comments (things have been looking up since RC5 was released)

Looking forward to seeing some renders from you and Tom...

...and the rest of A-Team, who helped get the content ready for that announcement, to say nothing of countless hours of testing!

hey Mike...

great news, indeed... !

* * *

do You know if there will be something like realworld texture size parameters with which one can precisely set tex dimensions in a model?

examples: bricks, concrete patterns, tiles

for example, artlantis has these options and it helps a lot texturing... You certainly know there's nothing like that in maya...

do You know if there will be a «wrong color display» available with light intensities that architects / engineers could use to interpret rooms and windows? this would be great for sun/light studies !

Couple of other questions:

Has multi-processing support been fixed for the voxiliztion process?

Has the that 2gb memory address ceiling for the core been raised?

Yes, resume will return, and the plug-ins are all being worked on and will be fully functional. Actually, the Max plug-in seems to get the love first

Nice to hear that. Thank you very much!

Hi Frances & Mike,

I would suggest this route: anything that reasonably should be working in v.1.0, but is unavailable due to unsurmountable limitations in RS1+, and which is also successfully addressed in RS2, should be given as a patch to v.1.0 customers. Any new features over and above this would be disabled in this patch, being available only in 'next-gen' Maxwell. This would serve to satisfy v.1.0 customers, while at the same time providing the impetus to those same customers to purchase v.2.0.

Well, this would create a code branch, and from a software design
perspective I can clearly say that you're trying to avoid that...

It's a bit easier: Fix the promised feature set (which would mean the
switch to rs2 basically), release it and a few bonus ideas as 1.5, then go
to the next level (polarisation, fluorescence anyone?) and release a rock
solid 2.0 half a year later.

I agree that the version that is announced now should be labeled an RC.
Internally it might be an RC for a while - however I'm absolutely
confident that we will find a couple of issues.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it, however they call it

Cheers

Sweet. Looks good, but now the question you have all been waiting for.........drum roll please. Has an undo been impleminted in studio?

[tom]

Mike, you don't know how I always wanted to ask this question, too:
Will they finally see me naked behind the glass in a sunny day?

[mverta]

Tom,

I've been doing everything I can to sabotage the glass issue to avoid that very thing, but I fear sooner or later, all shall be revealed! Then the price of Maxwell will go way up. Or down. ?

Well, don't know Tom. But I would rather pay *not* to see him
