I've noticed this when in PE mode in the player, and then switching to the modeler, the player PE tools stay open. I don't know if this is intentional or not. As long as you don't select any tools in the modeler, the selection yyou have in the player stays the same.

Confirmed as intentional and NOT a bug. You can return to player without finalising your PE editing by switching to model view..:)

Not a bug Stan, I think someone at Caligari already explained this. The PE is left open from player in case you wish to return to editing in player after going to model view. BUT choosing a PE function in model view cancels it out.

This is a good idea as the player is the new (and future) side of TS. However, you may need to go into model view to load a primitive or edit material etc. This way Player PE gets the priority and waits for your return without ending your edit.

Sort of like putting a call on hold while you go and get a pen to write a message down.

did you read my other post Splinters?..that is a bug created by this feature..

not thrilled after hearing how long it will take to move all tools over to player with the model side getting zero priority for bug fixes

Did you read my post Stan..;) This is not a 'bug' but rather a side effect of having the bridge. If you put your phone on hold to get a pen you shouldn't expect to start another call on the same line without disconnecting the other person. Same thing here. I guess we could agree to call it a niggle but a bug implies it was not spotted by testers or addressed by developers. It was.

Player here gets priority in PE mode as it is the new architecture and model side is the older part. Personally I would not want to switch between model/player while actively in PE mode-just takes one click to end it and the error message you see is not exactly a crash either.

Yes, I am sure Roman and rest of Caligari team would like to know as well...;)


There has been no official word on how long it will take, therefore you could 'assume' that a 7.2 or 7.3 patch might bring more tools or that they will be all there by 7.5. But that is all it would be....an assumption..:o


I would think that developer's are steadily working on migration of tools now that 7.1 is out.
