New Build (261)

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Added some very basic adaptive sampling to the Path Tracer.  We should see faster convergence for many scenes, particularly Architectural Interiors.  See what's new.

ΙΕ9 has got a compatibility view mode, so if you have trouble viewing certain sites, go to tools -> compatibility view.

Hummm...

Downloaded build 261 from the download area, installed the build, which took a much longer time to load than normally, and ran Acad 2010.

Loaded the drawing I've been working on and ran Nxt.  After a longer time then normal the Nxt window poped up- blank.  While hitting the blank window with the mouse,  the Light  window came up with no minimizing tab and no tabs for the rest of the windows.  Clicking around on the blqnk section of the window poped up the Material window or the Render, or the Options window.  No minimizing tabs shown.

Took your advise and downloaded the build from the direct download area.  This took some 25 minutes to download.  Installed the build, loaded Autocad and Nxt.  Same thing happened.

Reinstalled build 259, the same one I was using yesterday, loaded Autocad and Nxt.  No change.  Blank window until I pick a point near the top of the window. Top of window gives the Light popup, a little lower gives the Material popup, lower yet gives the render popup, and a little lower gives the options popup.  No minimizing tabs on any of the popups.  Autocad is functioning fine.  Tried a different (smaller) drawing,  No change.

Nxt seems to run normally.

Is this a new approach to the menu windows for this build, or have I been bugged? 

Inquiring mind wants to know. 

Acad 2010, WIndows 64.

Nope-- no changes to anything at my end.  The direct download link is exactly the same one you would get through the website-- which is very likely working fine now.

Good morning Roy,

Did what I should have done in the first place.  Closed Acad, shut down the system and re-started.  Loaded build 261 , loaded Acad, loaded Nxt, and all is well with the world.  I'm blaming it on Acad as a memory hog.  I noticed before re-starting that the Acad layer pop-down window didn't show layer on/off tabs either.  Thanks for the return.

Only the shadow knows.

Probably nothing to do with AutoCAD either.  This type of problem is often a display driver or some other portion of the OS going south-- restarting usually works.

Thanks for the Build. I have installed it without any problems. The Direct Dload took a lot of time for some reason. It reminded me of downloading a Mp3 in the early 90s from *that* site. I fondly remember Broken Wings took 45 minutes in 1993. :D

Like I said-- it's exactly the same as downloading from the website (which is available again.)
