New Version (Details for upgrading from previous)

This is a new version, not an update so you need to unistall the previous versions before installing this

For version notes (new features, fixes) see this thread:

New Version notes and changelog

If you dont have the latest Service Pack and the latest updates for your Windows system, you might not have the latest VC runtime libraries, in this case download them from this page at Micorsoft site:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)


To conform the internal standar, a new naming scheme is being used from this version on

Ogre ViewWindow -> oFusion Viewport
Ogre Material -> oFusion Material
Ogre Texhnique -> oFusion Technique
Ogre Texture Unit -> oFusion Texture Unit

The "ogre_azathoth" folder in the max root installation is named "oFusion"

The user shader files should be in the "oFusion\Media\shaders" folder

Previous scenes files will need to be updated to the new version:

If the scene was saved with the preview viewport active, the viewport wont be displayed automatically because of the new naming changes, activate the viewport after loaded in the new version and resave the scene

If you had the "InPlace", "Lods", "Build EdgeLists" or "Generate Tangent Vectors" modes active in your objects, they need to be re selected

In some specific scenes, an error dialog might be displayed when loading a previous version scene, in this case "merge" the scene contents and save the scene

You must download the updated oSceneLoader lib and the oSceneLoader demo to get support for the new features in your applications

I am not sure why? but I cannot download this version:
"oFusion Community Edition 1.6for Max 7/8",
it says it is corrupt and or has a virus in it? Please check this file and re-post and I will be glad to try and re-download the file again.
I have tried now 12 times and all times it starts out saying it has downloaded 2.5 megs and is downloading the rest. Der, that can't be..... /chuckles, so please check the file and how it downloads and installs.
Thanks in advance, I will be waiting for this post to get answered and thank ya'll before you help me/us.../smiles

I had the same problem time ago.

Use a download mannager to download the full file, because you´re not downloading it completely.

You nearly killed me, I thought the new version was already on the street.

bye

Hahaha,

What? is a newer version coming out soon? and yes I used a different download manager and got it, but as it turneed out I have a copy in my max dir, just not sure if it is the same build hahaha lolol. anyone know where to go look to see what build I may have? I had forgotten bout it and thought this was the new version /DOH /smiles

Also a new CE version?

I went to http://www.ofusiontechnologies.com/downloads.html but I didn´t find a new CE version.

Where can I download the new CE version and the new CE loader?

Thanks

Hey

As far as I know the new CE version is to be released this week... so simply stay tuned and check this forum periodically.

Hey twister dont understand you well, you dont know what max version you´re running? may be in the help menu ther is the classic "about" option where it is said....

bye

Very Cool Thanks for the info and heads up /smiles......I am running Max 7 ATM, and have softimage due here in next 5 days so will be looking for the new scene manager for softimage as well /winks,,,,, lots to do and as always never any time to do it in right???? /smiles.

Side note: as it turned out I did have a older version on max, but I couldn't tell which build so thats good I just switch it out for the new build this week hahahaha thankies.

DeathTwister

Hehe, yup I just checked , its next week now /smiles and I see old downloads all, no new ones, hahaha well we just have to go check every few days I am guessing /smiles....

While I am waiting for the update for Max 7+ is there a link for SoftImage I can go 2 and start working with that one as well? or is it not out yet? I heard it was very close and or all code and has to be compiled?

Hello, I have install oFusion CE 1.6 with 3DMax 5.1sp1 (setup allows) and 9.0, have install Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86). In both variants at loading 3DMax does not give out warnings, there is a menu oFusion, but in menu Views-> Extended is absent oFusion Viewport and the menu give out mistakes of scripts of type ' Unknown propery '. It is possible to correct it, or it is necessary to use 3DMax 7-8?

p.s. excuse, machine translation
