Rokas Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hi When upgrading a 1.9.9.9 version to a v2, should it convert without any changes to a mesh or some is allowed? I see some plants do not convert nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi Rokas, Yes, GrowFX 2.0 works a little differently and we weren't able to completely make it work like version 1.9.9. So, it maybe necessary to slightly change the parameters of the tree to make its shape more similar to the previous version. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schellicon Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 i downloaded v2beta today again and tested some things,... every tree i converted crashed max missing distorded lines (line mode) with after mesh direction modifiers ( comparing to v1.9.9) are you adding these in the final build? would be not so great to toss them :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tested the conversion and everything works fine. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi schellicon, We have fixed this bug and I'll send you an update soon. We just need to fix some new bug in 2.0 so you can use it. Thanks for your bug report! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokas Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 crashes here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi schellicon and Rokas, I sent you an update, please try it. Version 2.0 is also updated, but still needs more testing because we've made many changes. If you notice any problems, please let me know. Thanks!

schellicon Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 took some time to be able to test (running Projects), but today i had some time: Most of the trees are loading and converting, but are still a bit different after convertion others crash max while loading the max file... just realized : those plants crash also in the 1.9.9.9 (non beta), don`t know in which version & max version they are created ... but they loaded in these days without error! Merging them fixed the crash.... resave the max file after merging also fixed the loading crash.. (also tested in beta) also realized connecting those direction modifiers to the left side of a path(non after mesh modifier) , gives me the old line visualisation back, which is great.

Eduard Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hi schellicon, Yes, version 2.0 works differently, so trees can differ from version 1.9.9. Please send me your model that crashes 3dsMax. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schellicon Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 converting has a little different path length , giving a chain reaction cross the pathes (of cause affection distibution points), but deformation looks from what i see the same ( till now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schellicon Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 since the rendernode installation is not fixxed , and some bugfixxes are done at 1.9.9.9 how to install best? copy growfx_old.dlo from main workstation to the rendernode? or do i have license problems then , because it`s not the rendernode version?

If you want both versions of GrowFX to work on your rendernode, then you need to copy GrowFX.dlo from any render node (where GrowFX rendernode 1.9.9 is installed) and rename it to GrowFX_old.dlo.

schellicon Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 ... would be cool if both will be installed..... hope that fixes are not important for the rendernode ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, we'll include the previous version (1.9.9) in the rendernode installer of 2.0. Yes, this fix was only for converting, and it doesn't matter in rendernode version. Thanks!
