Kray Instances too much delicate?

[mrwiggles]

Hello people,i'm new to the forum but i use kray daily

As the title of the thread says i find the kray instances too much sensitive..
a lot of times the instances panel "freeze",for freeze i mean that i can't change values or apply instances to an object.

So..i start to control every point or object. And at 60% of the times is because there isn't a point/polys equality..and it's ok,my fault!

But the other 40% i really don't understand how to resolve the bug..i must try and retry a lot of times and finally at random it works.

I think kray is a amazing render engine and is a must have in the work pipeline..but this bug is really annoing!

Any tip,or news about a fixed version mooore elastic?

Thanks!

have a nice day.

Hi, welcome to forum.

I haven't experienced any freezes like you describe before nor have I heard it from someone else.

Is this something you can reproduce? Can you record video showing how it happens? What are you system specs, LW/Kray versions?

Hi!
Thanks for the fast answer.
I'm using lw 9.6 32bit with kray 2.0.

I haven't experienced any freezes like you describe before nor have I heard it from someone else.

doh,strange!It happens to me occasionally with big scenes.
I hope I explained it well...

Usually i make some points or polypoints in modeler,then in the layout i apply the krayinst plugin to the point object,and in the GUI i select the object to instance and parameters. (usually iter)

But sometimes (in more complex scene is more easy to happen) after closed the inst-panel,when i reopen it,all is by default (no object to clone selected,all scale & rot value by default).

When this happen i can't more apply istances to any other objects or modify parameters.
Anyway,in the objects with the plugin applied before the "bug" happens the instances works well,but i just can't modify the parameters.

I repeat that in the plenty cases there is a problem of points (so my fault) but some other times really i don't know what's the matter!

Is really strange that is never happens to you,
i thought was a wellknow issue!

Thanks again

Aha i think you are refering to Lscript error bug. This is Lightwave problem and it is fixed in 9.6.1 beta. Try it out and see if it works for you.

Problem (very burdensome in big scenes) disappeared after update to 9.6.1

[mrwiggles]

I'll try!

Thanks guys,really efficient.

Hi. Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I am currently having this problem as well.

I've just upgraded to 9.6.1 and I still cannot add objects to clone. Existing clones still work, but I cannot add new ones. It looses the selection once you close the dialog box.

Using Kray 2.3 as well.

I'll try setting up the instances in a fresh scene then loading items from scene to get them into the main scene.
