ah cool. thank you for letting me know. I hate being late to the party and missing out on stuff :-) Looking forward to seeing the new old Socket Thanks as always Mickaël

Hi Tomas, what do you mean by List ? as in the future release of EIAS 10 or is there a list i have missed. thanks, Mickael

Always happy to help out and test things. Is EIAS 10 Metal 2 compatible ? other then that and HEVC (H265)i wouldn't see any reason to upgrade to High Sierra. APPLEFS doesn't really seem to improve anything at this stage and doesn't convert HD drives, so no point on older machines. Im staying on Sierra for a while myself. Mickael

All working fine in High Sierra.

I haven't as of yet on my main machine as it kills FCP7 which i still use a lot. I did upgrade two iMacs for the H.265 aspect but haven't had a chance to test it all out for the moment. Ill try EIAS 9 tomorrow and let you know how it goes. there really isn't a lot of reason to upgrade a this stage not that many added features. and the next version will kill off 32bit apps. so that also a killer for a lot of my old apps. looks like ill be running either emu 10.12 or run two main machine on 10.12 and 10.14 in the future.

tested the gear and bolt on EIAS 2.9 and works great. then exported the gear created as a fact model and imported to EIAS 9 and works great. i don't have license for EIAS 3 or 4 and then I have a license for 5 and above so ill test the plug in 5 and 6 to see at which point it stops working.

look at that. great news. with a bit a of luck we will have another socket in our tool box again. I love it when a plan comes together :-)

Thanks Alex that rocks. I can add it to my archives. i found this 2009 posting for Bob. looks like he is doing plugins for VectorWorks i think. https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/profile/7723-bob-wagner/ found this email which is a bit old but could work. b.wagner@ozemail.com.au

Ive been going through all my EIAS stuff over the years. at one point when EIAS didn't looked very likely to survive (thank god for Tomas and the Igors ) I archived everything i could find for EIAS and just looking through my files i found GEARS and i remember Bolt but don't seem to have that one. is there anyway you could send me that old plugin for my archives. if theres any other plugin you are looking for let me know and i can see if i have it for you. I can put up a list of all the plugins and versions i have if anyone is interested. could always be helpful for old projects/ installs.

Awesome Alex thank you for your advice. its the method i was starting to do. it seemed to break down with plugin support at the 3.0 version. can shape plugin data be export as a FACT model ? here goes nothing :-) ill let you know if i find any new methods. Thanks, Mickael

Here is an odd one, I have really old projects that i did as a student in EIAS 2.75p I wanted to updated them to the latest EIAS 9. I was able to get the motion data all the why up to EIAS 3.0 but at that stage any project that used Standard Shape plugin gets lost because the plugin no longer works in EIAS 3.0. 2.9 is the last version i can get it to by moving the old standard shape plugin in the the 2.9 sockets folder. I tried to get Uber shape to replace the standard shape but that just resets the models data to a default plane. none of this is all that important. all my projects that didn't use standard shape projects transferred correctly as it just used FACT models. something i never thought about before is that as soon as a plugin goes defunct then so does the data that plugin created. never realized that before. i just assumed that once plugin was used that data was stored in the project file and the plugin was only need with the plugin data needed to be recalculated when modified. So i was curious if anyone had any ideas on how to keep the data to transfer it. export as a FACT but then the motion data won't be attached to the data in the project and that data has to be recreated. or can use replace plugin created model with an imported model ? thanks

Ill try to find someone with a USBC MacBook pro and test it out and report back. I suspect it will work at least with the apple adapter. just tested it on my old 2012 model through my Thunderbolt to Kanex USB3/SATA adapter and works fine on that. I noticed EIAS 8.0 stopped working now in Sierra. not that i used it, just always kept it there in case. thank and Happy New Year, Mickael

Whats the senario with USB C becoming the new standard on MacBook pros and probably all macs in the future ? does the dongle work with a dongle usb adapter ? will there be new EIAS USB C EIAS dongle available ? it only just hit me if i where to buy one (which I'm not impressed by them at this stage so properly wont) that my EIAS dongle wouldn't plug in to them. Thanks, Mickael

looks great. i would say if you lift up a little bit that second shade that might help view the horizon a bit better. I agree with Richard its slightly off. mostly because the buildings look bigger in that second window. If you have the horizons match both windows like in the first picture it will feel better visually. if you want to keep that angle, maybe bring the horizons down and bit to see that ocean front from both windows.

I own 3 volumes: Volume 1 bigdipper davinci Zeus Volume 2 Dante liquefy pathfinder Volume 3 Cablecraft Flockthis Placerdeposit just curious as well are there any updates Mr Revolver ? the last version i have is from 2009 which is a UB. thanks

any news ?

Found them in the thread. sorry, just needed to remove the 3 drivers in the library/frameworks folder and reboot and fine again.

Dongles seem to hate me. i posted this in the mavericks thread but thought it might be better on its own in case. Im having issues with Mavericks and EIAS 9.1. i had to do a reinstall and a migration assistant transfer from 10.7 lion to mavericks. since then EIAS can't see the security dongle. all my other mavericks machine can work with EIAS and the dongle. which seems to imply a driver conflict of some sort from lion. Since my MacPro is the oldest of my machines i think i remember having installed the patched drivers when there were issues with the sentinel drivers back in 10.7. Where we had to manually install some drivers in the library. I don't think i ever cleared them (never needed to. I did install the latest 9.1 installer drivers and reinstalled the drivers, did a reboot and everything but no luck. does anyone know how i can uninstall all sentinel dongle drivers in osx. with some luck i won't have to do a full fresh re-install mavericks and hours of app reinstall from scratch. i have added a screen capture of how it registerers the dongle in Mavericks on my Mac Pro which doesnt work and below my macbook pro on mavericks and it does work. thanks

Still looking around. Im sure we can find out somewhere. found this recently. still haven't had a chance to look in all my HD stores. but this might help :-) probably outdated and actually not helpful but though it might be good to upload it for prosperity. Power Particles PDF

Just curious but are there any operating differences between PC and Mac versions ? like speed of renders or more older sockets work on PC side. is EIAS like for like from OSX to Windows in all aspects ?

I dont know why but when i first started on EIAS in 96, what had WOWed me with Big Dipper Socket. Even if i dont use it often i never feel very complete without my Big Dipper Socket in EIAS.

HI Blair any news on the updates ? just curious no pressure. I know you said a couple of weeks but its been a couple of months so just wonder if all is well. thanks.

Dont know if anyone saw this Blog post on Maximo website. Tomas to the rescue as always :-) Sorry if this has already been post it but i didnt see it anywhere on the forums yet. http://blog.mixamo.com/mixamo/electric-image-and-mixamo/ Tomas might be good to get Maximo to list EIAS3D on there website for more exposure on V.9

i use the adobe subscription via work. but im not a fan of it. i have to relog in often with my adobe ID. which is fine unless im not connected to the internet which happens at times. so that annoying. so ill stick to my photoshop CS5. Im getting a bit tired of all these subscription models. MS with office, spotfity for music, adobe for graphics. at the end of the day everyone is doing it and if i rented my all software i would be paying hundreds a month. instead i upgrade and own my software when i can afford it, which is a better model for me. photoshop now a days is total overkill so i dont need every new version every year. and i think adobe know that now and so they can see they profits crashing down is they dont do this. but for the freelancer or individual this is a bad deal, what if you cant pay for it for a month, then it deactivates and your out of luck. i think people like to own a house and not rent a mansion. which is what adobe is forcing people to do.
