[EIAS v10 current development!]

Any further news on an update?

[GumRoad DVD Discount]

Will the principles still apply to EIAS 10 or even other software programs?

[SHUFFLE 2021]

Looks cool!

Was it rigged in EIAS too?

How far is EIAS 10 in the development process at this point?

[EIAS v10 current development!]

Any version 10 development news?

[Latest MacOS system that EIAS 9 will run on?]

Any news on EIAS 10?

If apple goes to ARM chips what happens then?

[Fact from Form zjr 8.6 into EIAS]

At first I could not import anything from Form z Jr into EIAS 9 demo  or 8.

Finally, these settings seem to work for FACT format.

Still having trouble with other formats.

Hope this works for other users!

Any development news on version 10?

[Uvs and Electricimage 8 obj import]

Happy New year!
So, I recently tried to import a Human model obj. into Eias 8 and it did not bring in the uvs for some reason,

which made applying the map impossible. I could not check use uvs in the group info box. It was greyed out.

This is what I did:

1.I imported the file( https://www.food4rhino.com/resource/mei-posed-001) into EIAS 9 DEMO.

and applied the map in there.

2. I reexported the model as a validated fact file which gave me the UVS in version 8,

but the map still did not apply properly in version 8 for some reason.

3. I had to save the material from version 9 demo as well and then apply that in version 8.

Finally, it worked!

 

[Feature Road Map]

Molten GL might be something that could work on top of Metal.

There's a video here:

[Feature Road Map]

Here's some more info:

If developers do revolt, it could be a real disaster for 3d on the mac.

It sounds like a misguided idea, that will screw up a lot of games and apps.

So the plan is to replace it all with Metal?

 

[Crumbling Monster in EIAS]

Came in rather nicely!

There's also Lightwave 30 day demo which has this:

[Chris E]

I don't have this problem at all in EIAS 8 in the texture map window.

I'm using Sierra on a MacMini.

[development news or updates?]

Any teasers for the next release?

I see Lightwave has finally released something new.

It looks like Daz may be making a 64 bit version of Hexagon and it will be completely free.

 

[Northern Lights plugins still available? Their website is empty.]

Aha! Does that possibly mean a new particle system?:)

[displacement mapping]

Would the Dicer plugin be useful here?

In other words, let the plugin increase the resolution of the sphere?

[Modeler for windows installer]

Much appreciated!

[Modeler for windows installer]

Where can I download the installer for the old modeler for windows?

I can't seem to find it. I'm trying to see how well the modeler works in windows 7 or 10.

It works fine in XP in Parallels on a mac, but that was an old install I did.

 

[Does EIAS 8 need something to run on XP?]

I had EIAS 8 working in parallels but the whole Windows went went belly up.

Had to reinstall XP.

Now I get an error messaage: The configuration is incorrect.

 

Modeler is working.

i'm using SP 3.

[Is there a dongle installer for windows?]

EIAS Animator 8 also works well with no screen redraw glitches.

The rendering is just slightly slower than on the Mac.

 

Daz programs that don't work in Yosemite like Carrara 7 Pro and Bryce 6.3 both work very well.

I got a Pc bench mark tool and the overall performance of Parralels is similar to say a low cost Dell laptop or similar.

Overall it's not bad at all.

[Is there a dongle installer for windows?]

Looks like it works! How cool is that?

I'm using the late  2014 2.6 ghz macmini to run it.

A bit finicky to set up in Parallels but once Parallels sees the dongle it seems to work pretty well.

[Is there a dongle installer for windows?]

Trying an experiment where I try to get modeler to run in xp in parallels to see if it can work okay.

Xp says I need the hardware driver? I take it I have to install the dongle driver of some kind?

[eias 8 and yosemite]

Okay the commands seem to be working in the camera window.

i think they are differnt from before. So the only glitch appears to be when I click on a dalog box the screen goes dark.

Otherwise I think it's working.

[eias 8 and yosemite]

Well I had some problems getting the dongle to work but EIAS 8 is working.
Sort of.

Is it compatible?

Camera works and most of animator but I can't move around the camera window.

The commands don't seem to work.

[What type of color palettes can EIAS read?]

What kind of palettes .clr on mac etc, can EIAS load?
