About v4.20

As always I´m a but late to the party lol....

I´m still using v 4.12 bit the new volumetric smoke seem interesting, but I am worried about a few things:

(btw sorry if those were answered somewhere i could not find)

- all my assets are in another folder on another drive, will a new install mess those up?

- Are the materials problems I saw on another thread still going on?

Thanks in advance!

    Try the 4.20 beta version of Studio. I resisted for a long time, also keeping my 4.12, but there were too many nifty new features since then to ignore it any longer (works great for the new stuff). You need to "purchase" it (for free) to have it available (only in DIM). It installs into a different folder so it won't interfere with your 4.12. Any plugins you had before will need to be re-installed (they know about Beta versions and will install to both locations).

    Thanks for the tip! completely forgot the beta version.... lol

    but can i just point it to search for the assents on the other drive and it will not mess those up?

    It should be totally transparent if you point to the same content folders. I've switched between the two without any problems.

  • So as I seem to be a bit dumb lol I ended up upgradim my install.... anyway to roll back to an older version?

    Not unless you saved the previous zips in a safe place...

    You can ask Customer Support (Help Center) and explain your situation, but no guarantees.

  • No worries just did a bit of testing and seems like everything is fine, gonna have to rework

    some of my old lights but in the end not too much of a hassle ( for now ... lol)
