Max 2012 issue?

[3ply]

When mirroring objects in 2012, the objects faces become triangulated. This never happen in previous versions. Is there a way to turn that crap off?

 

Also moving objects with x, y & xy constraints still don't work as nice as older versions. Now I have to lock my selection when moving.

 

There are other bugs that I came across...Anyone else experiencing bugs?

go to the area and read the

"i'm done " thread.

a bit of a negative

I hope it is not true I really do.

subscription will be a waste.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you are telling me to do? Can you post a link?

I think that he is refering to this thread at the area's forum:

I think there are as many positives as negatives for the new release.

I think load it up for yourself and see what happens.

 

Time will tell.

I do have faith in Autodesk though .

I have used 2011 for the get go, and have found no problems with it, and I was throwing 600mb files at it at one point.

Vray would crash and did with Vray 2 more than Max to be honest.

Thanks for the link!

 

I think this version is very buggy...Today I've crashed a dozen times!!

 

I think it has something to do with older models I merged into my scene. Up til today no crashes then I merged stuff and it all goes down hill. I had to remodel the older stuff!! So far no crashes. If 3dstudio can't handle older models than why should I be upgrading every year??

So far I've had very minor and limited issues with 2012. I do have backburner crashing on initial startup and that's about it.

The main thing I had to do different this time was remove all traces of previous versions off my workstation.

I've never had to do that before with any prior release.

Just finished rendering an animation in Max 2012. After all the problems, I had enough! No more upgrading to the latest and greatest. I was able to render 793 frames out of 800...7 frames would not render and these frames were 3/4 of the way through the animation. I tried several different computers...Tried merging objects into a new file. Consistently crashed. Nothing changed during those 7 frames except the camera moving slowly (no new objects or lighting changed)!!

 

Oh and I tried installing the hotfix and I get an error message. I guess I have to wait for a hotfix to fix the hotfix installation!!

 

Not very happy!!
