Passes introducing bugs and corrupting scenes...

Passes introducing bugs and corrupting scenes...

NachrichtNick...

I've actually just experienced EXACTLY the symptoms you're talking about with 3
.5, as oppose to 3.5.1....it reall set me back. The odd thing is that the
corrupt scene would merge into a new scene fine, then when I tried to save that
scene it'd crash, but "Successfully Saved", then I restart XSI, recover
sequence, save again and everything's fine, scene is a few hundred KBs smaller
and away I go!!! (Apart from small fact of objects being missing from their
partitions and not even being found in the background objects partition, this I
would have to redo by hand).

Anyway the job's done now so that particular nightmare is in the past...but it
would be great for it not to happen again!

Let me know if you find anything out

DAN

   Subject: Passes introducing bugs and corrupting scenes...


   Since moving to 3.5.1, our last 3 projects have seen our scene files get
corrupted dramatically after doing work with passes. Delete the passes (if you
can without XSI crashing) and the bugs and defects disappear... the typical
symptons we have found are:

   - object properties disappearing in the explorer
   - nothing refreshes anymore. i.e: no changes are taken into account in the
explorer, it still displays the old info until forcing a refresh with F5.
Framing in the viewports only frames after pressing "f" and then forcing a
viewport camera move/orbit/pan/dolly/whatever
   - switching between passes crashes XSI
   - deleting passes crashes XSI

   and many more...

   Anyone else experienced this?
