My client just wanted an updtate of his website www.maxiforet.com After installing the new Messiah 2.4 over the old version.
I loaded the project file. And then the worst knightmare happened. All the texture placement are gone. The textures are upside down and randomly offset. Imagine redoing the texturing for 90 objects already placed in the scene. So I reinstalled the old version again and everything was almost perfect. I forgot that if you open the rendering section right from the start, It crash. The copy tool dosen't always work, you have to close and reload messiah. And It is verrrry difficult not to mess your scene while resizing the windows. To move an object you have to zoom out 3km just to see the editsphere. Messiah team did not warned their users of the problem with texture. So what good is the fastest renderer if the files are not compatible between Same version 2.2 -> 2.4. There are days like that I wish to stop doing CG. And I know If I change the software, It's gonna be another MAJOR problem. I think I ll do my next client with Realsoft. It may render slower (at the cost of a much better picture), but it is easely more reliable than Messiah and the others. Jean-Sebastien Perron www.neuroworld.ca
