I've been asking for that since sub-d was added. Better late than never.

So anybody had a chance to try it, and give some first impressions?

I have always wanted a 3D program that would be able to import the maps with the name I already assigned them in Photoshop. This would be a real time saver when I have an object with multiple maps. For example a carton with; DCD1234 Drill front, DCD1234 Drill back, DCD1234 Drill top, DCD1234 Drill bottom, DCD1234 Drill left side, DCD1234 Drill right side Right now I tend to use copy and paste but having the maps come in already named would be terrific.

I hope they scrap the whole "component" thing and replace it with something better. It has been a problem for me since day 1.

Texture map update bug has been going on since V7. I generally have to close the app to get it resolved. Also, sometimes maps on an object won't show in the preview mode but render normally. I guess I have just gotten used to it.

Mine are not set to unlimited. 20 is what I have.

Yes this also happens to me from time to time. I haven't been able to isolate the cause. Just have to restart the app. There is also the bug with "show controls" in the sub-d mode. Sometimes it won't turn off and I have to restart to cure that too. The other ongoing issue I have is the immediate crash when I try to use the "rounding" tool. That's been going on since V7. Doesn't do it every time. But often enough I know to be sure to save before I click on it.

I miss using C4D. It's still my favorite of all the 3D programs I have used.

"Drag and Drop" Pretty much describes me when I get home everyday...

I am also on a 27" iMac with the same OS version and this isn't happening for me or anyone else here in our office.

I DL the update 8.6.4.1 and it appears to have fixed my problem where it was crashing while the app was hidden. Thanks for correcting that.

Every time I hide the ap to work in another program it crashes. Was not doing this before I upgraded. I should have know better. 8.5.3 was working well for me

I am on a Mac so I can't be of any help. I have to say the current build of FZ on Mac is ok, but the earlier versions were really buggy. Not at all acceptable on a pro level software. Good luck in resolving your issue.

Hi Michele, Sorry to hear that. If you could post more info, someone might be able to help. Some more details about when it occurs, some info about your computer and graphics card. Things like that. Does anyone else in your company have the problem, or are you working solo? I have not seen that particular error code

Hi Michele, you might want to contact Tech directly via email. They are usually responsive. support@formz.com
