It's not great. I had it crash on me twice yesterday - fortunately I was only messing with nurbs and subdivision and didn't lose anything. |

Try to reproduce so that Caligari can confirm and fix it :) |

From a bug fix/workflow point of view yes, but I am hopeful that 7.6 will bring some new stuff as well...:D |

The bug wasn't anything specific. When I was doing the speed model fan a few days back, I was using the bevel tool and it crashed and I lost the model because I never saved.
Yesterday I was using the plastiform tool on a plane and also experimenting with Nurbs (didn't crash it at the time) messing with circles to form the base of a column like in the architecture course. I was also using the extrude tool and recording paths.
I basically had TrueSpace open for a long time and it may have been a memory leak or something, not specific to any tool. It also got incredibly slow.
What I did do was play and delete in the same scene and start again.... |

Well, I'm sure many are hoping for a mad dash to get all the classic tools ported over to the workspace view, but I'm content with further refinement to existing workspace tools [while everything is in the early stages], and maybe a new tool or two.
All of the old tools are still on the model side. The bridge seems to be holding up to its end of the bargain for the most part. If all those tools are crammed into workspace too hastily, we'll end up with tons of the same tools with legacy functionality, where we could have been patient and watched more advanced functionality grow at a steady pace.
To demand all of the tools at this point might detract attention from some interface and existing tool refinements that could still be made, or could even hamper the approach taken toward other new tools down the line.
If it has been up to testers to put trueSpace developments into practice so far, maybe now would be a good time to have all the devs spend a day acting as tS7.5 users, tackling the forum speed challenges while trying to utilize workspace view as much as possible. They might have an unfair advantage knowing what's under the hood, but I imagine every bit of extra insight could help. Besides, I couldn't imagine them having access to everything trueSpace 7.5 has to offer, while not wanting to mess around with it minus the dev pressure.
I also wish that the AE pause button would get changed to a stop button, and that the play button would act as (both physically and visually) a toggle between play and pause. :)
Anyway, that's my two cents...I haven't had enough time to figure out all the intricacies of what's already available to be banging on Caligari's door just yet (while holding a variety of farming tools).
A patch will be nice when it comes, but I don't think everyone else has played with 7.5 enough to figure out and report all the bugs just yet either, have they? :confused:
Pick a feature and try to master it, be it texturing, bones, scripting, physics - just pick one and learn the hell out of it! Then start in on why it's difficult to work with or with what it lacks or with what would make it work more efficiently. |
