Bug from 2.0 still in 2.5

Deadline
1

Hi,



I reported a bug in the previous 2.0 version. That when XRef Objects use proxy geometry. That Deadline will render the proxy geometry, and not the actual XRef object.



There was a fix sent to me for this, but when I upgraded to 2.5 the bug returned.



Here’s the snip it from the fix that was sent.



– WORKAROUND: XREF objects didn’t pick up the xref, just rendered the proxy instead. This maxscript

– ensures that all the xref objects have useProxy set to the same as renderProxy to fix that.

for obj in geometry do (

if hasProperty obj “useProxy” and hasProperty obj “renderProxy” do (

obj.useProxy = obj.renderProxy

)

)



Can this be put somewhere in 2.5? Also, I think other people would need this fix as well.

Hi Mathew,



Thanks for posting that information. We actually weren’t aware of the issue until after Deadline 2.5 was released, which is why it wasn’t part of the install. :slight_smile:



We’re still ironing out some issues with our 3dsmax plugin, but once everything is resolved, we should be able to release a patch that would include the fix you’ve mentioned.



Cheers,
