Hi All,

There's a new update available for 3DPainter/A:M Paint.

Changes:

• Improved compatibility with certain graphics cards
• JPG quality setting can be set in preferences window
• Speed improvements for Mac version

For download, go to http://www.3dpainter.com/downloads.php
(the password for the download section can be found in your order confirmation mail or, if you already have a previous version of 3DPainter, in the user manual. Contact info@pixosaur.com if you cannot locate it.)

Make sure you also copy the plugin to the 'hxt' folder!

Filip

Thanks Filip! The newest version definitely works better with my measly 64Mb graphic card. Thanks for the update.

Thanks

Hi Filip,

Just tried the OSX version on a simple project (cuecard model with tga decal from TWO) and 3dpainter returned a 'Could not load file' message.

I had the model open in AM v 14c, the decal was already applied, I right clicked in the model window, selected plug-ins then 3d Painter. 3d painter opened and displayed the message. Nothing else displayed in the window.

I then just tried opening the model directly from 3D Painter and it can not load the model!

Cheers

There appears to be an issue trying to run 3DPainter from a Parallels partition on the iMac. The machine Id has changed all by itself so the unlock key no longer works! All I did was remove the floppy disk drive. Could this be something that the Machine Id algorithm is looking at?

Cheers

Hi David,

The problem has to do with the é in "Robert Holmén" (it's in the file under 'CreatedBy). This character is not in the standard 'character encoding'. You have to enable the option 'Read .mdl files with encoding' in the preferences window and set the value to 'windows-1252' or 'latin1' like I did in the screenshot. You only have to do this once and the file will load from now on. In future updates, I will make this the default (on Windows, the problem does not happen).

From the logfile you sent me, I could see that the computer name had changed (it's one of the things the machine ID is based on). In normal situations, the computer name will not change automatically (maybe Parallels changed it; for example, because it detected multiple virtual machines with the same name). But if it does change, just mail us the new machine ID and we'll make you a matching license key.

Best regards,
Filip

Thanks Filip - that worked a treat. Of course it is not an issue for the Windows version.

Interesting about the machine name change. Mine has always been set to the same value but I know OSx has a different name than the Windows name that I assigned the Parallels install. I'll keep an eye on it and see what may have triggered the change.

Cheers
