on every time i click in the material editor on workspace side the balls for color, bump, transparency or reflection, i get a crash. No way to fix it.
Than on modeler side i have to turn off the bridge to get the Vray render options but not raytracing options and with the bridge on i can open the raytracing options but not the vray render options ...
i allready post this problem 3 weeks ago http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=6804
I have no idea what the Team Caligari do all the days but for sure not see the userproblems. :( |

Hi Vizu, please try this steps:
1. exit from your tS7.6
2. delete file "default.ctx" on your "trueSpace76/tS" folder
3. run your tS7.6
4. on new scene create a simple cube
5. Click Material Editor icon for open Material Editor panel
6. Click on the balls for color, bump, transparency or reflection now for testing.
Is your tS7.6 crash on step number 6 ? |

Okay here is the result.
I delete the default ctx and open TS.
TS opens in the workspace. I click material to open up the materialeditor. I click on a material ball. No problems.
I load one of my personal GUI Layouts, click on a Ball, daaaaang ts crashes |

If this layout was made in an earlier version of tS, eg tS7.51, then it could cause the crash. Interface changes have been made since then that affect layouts, and you should rebuild them fresh rather than load them in from earlier versions of tS.
Note that these layouts from earlier versions of tS will also have some missing icons for new features, as well as opening existing features (like the ME) in a now-invalid way.
Try remaking the layout from scratch in tS7.61 and see if that avoids the problem.
HTH!

thy TomG but the Layout was direct configured in 7.6.
I have deinstalled VRay 1.53 and TS 7.6 and reinstall all.
Maybe this helps. |

Hmm that's odd then if they were 7.6 layouts, and if a reinstall got them working again. Sorry you've had a run of unique problems :( I hope this clears those up though!
Thanks!

Okay here i am again.
TS and VRay reinstalled. edit the layout and how i wrote. All runs perfect. I close TS and open it again and i open the material editor and a click on one of the materialballs crashes TS
This Crash is reproduceable.
What could it be ? i havn´t open the modeler, i havn´t install anywhat. I Just install TS 7.6, install VRay 1.53 and edit the Layout

It has been confirmed that if you have any Material Libraries in the Stack at the same time tS crashes. Remove the Libraries from the Stack and test again.
I think Floating Material Libraries is okay just not Docked ones. |

Ah, problem is on your new layout (Standard layout).
If you open your 'standard layout' and the swich to 'Default' layout by click on top of tS window, the crash not happen if you click on ME ball icon.
So for avoid tS crash, I think you only need to switch to other "good" layout for doing meterial editor, and switch back to your 'standard' layout for doing other thing beside material editor. (not need to delete file "default.ctx")
How about remake the same layout for save you from need to switch from 'good' layout and to your 'standard' layout?
On every change you make while remake new layout, please test to click on Vray material editor ball icon. By try it on every change you make, you can find what cause the error. Its better to save every steps layout before you click on ME's ball icon for easy restore when tS crash again and also for easy examine what cause the error. |

I solve this problems by delete all, reintsall all in a new folder and recreate my personal GUI and this works fine. All is how i like it.
I need TS at the moment to generate some new VRay material librarys for the German ts community.
My first try to create chrome ist here tataaaaaaaa
This was rendered with the new, fine running Truespace 7.6 and VRay 1.53
Question to the Team Caligari !!!!!
Is VRay supported for the future ? could we hope to get some new features in VRay ? truedisplacement - fur / Hair etc.

Hi Vizu, I just found solution for make your 'Standard' layout work well with ME's ball icon. So you can continue using your old 'Standard' layout without need to switch to other layout for edit the material. :D
If you deleted your old 'Standard' layout from your computer, you can still download it from http://www.wire-frame.de/crash/Standard.zip (this is if you didn't delete it from your web site too).
Now look on attached image (sorry for bad image).
Problem are:
1. tS7.6 crash if we click ME's color ball icon while there're a VrayShader-Color on stack library.
2. tS7.6 crash if we click ME's Displacement ball icon while there're a VrayShader-Displacement on stack library.
3. tS7.6 crash if we click ME's Reflectance ball icon while there're a VrayShader-Reflectance on stack library.
4.tS7.6 crash if we click ME's Transparency ball icon while there're a VrayShader-Transparency on stack library.
Solutions are:
1. We must remove VrayShader-Color from stack library if we want to click on ME's color ball icon without make tS7.6 crash.
2. We must remove VrayShader-Displacement from stack library if we want to click on ME's Displacement ball icon without make tS7.6 crash.
3. We must remove VrayShader-Reflectance from stack library if we want to click on ME's Reflectance ball icon without make tS7.6 crash.
4. We must remove VrayShader-Transparency from stack library if we want to click on ME's Transparency ball icon without make tS7.6 crash.
So for make your 'Standard' layout not make tS7.6 crash, you only need to load your 'standard' layout, then delete all vrayShader (color,displacement,reflectance and transparency) from stack library list, then save replace to your old 'Standard' layout.
You see, you dont need to change the layout for edit the material. ;)
HTH!
PS: !!! you also can make default layout crash by load vrayShader Library on stack library and then click on ME's ball icon.!!! |

Vizu, you can replace original 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj (find on "\Kernel root\Material Editor\Material Editor\" with new 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj I attached on this post.
Before you replace the original 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj with new 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj, Please make a backup of original 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj. So you can restore it later if you not sastified with my new 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj.
Steps for replace original 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj with new 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj:
1. click on scene view icon for open Scene view window,
2. looking for Vray Material Editor on Scene view window like shown on attached image.
3. Right click on 'Vray Material Editor' text for open a small popup window,
4. select 'Browse in LE' for browse 'Vray Material Editor' RsOBj inside LE view.
5. (backup original 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj if you want) you can skip this step number 5 because you can Reset your tS7.6 later by press Ctrl-Shift-R shortcut key.
6. Delete the original 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj
7. put my new 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj here
8. click "Developer" tap on LE title bar for make LE link visible like on attached image.
9. click 'Exp' on my new 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj then connect wire link from LE's 'Input material' to 'Input material' of our new 'Vray Material Editor' RsOBj as shown on attached image.
10. Use 'Scene Editor' to switch back to LE Space3D.
11. Finished. Now you can let all 'Vray Shaders' Library on stack library panel without worry your tS7.6 crash if you click on Vray ME's ball icons. Of course your still continue using you old 'Standard' layout you posted on post number #12. :)
Note:
1. Dont delete any Vray shaders library from your disk because we still use it and I think tS7.6 Vray Material Editor also still use it internally. And now we can let it keep open on stack library while click on ME's ball icons.
2. Vray ME editor ME's ball icon click respone change after install this new 'Vray Material Editor' RsObj.
PS: I'm Johny not Honny. :o |

Thanky so much Johny but isn´t this a Bug in Truespace ? Maybe Team Caligari can make a update.
Isn´t it time fpr a new Upgrade ? Caligari have to make a decision. Modeler or Workspace. I have no idea for what we need the Bridge. The tools from the modeler could be available in the workspace. |

No, its not normal, as you see on attached image, I use you standard layout with the new Vray Material Editor installed and I can open Vray render settings on tS7.6 model view. |

hmmmm Johny you makes me crazy.
Okay i reinstall again all.
I have no idea what´s running wrong here but if it won´t works, i will use silo and C4D or somewhat else.
i am annoyed about the damn bridge. Workspace needs to load a different Layout then the modeler. One one hand i get the polytools, on the other i get features that i miss on the other hand .... Team Caligari have realy much to do. |
