[Hirazi Blue]

Luc-Eric Rousseau just tweeted:

Spoiler warning: there is going to be a service pack for 2011 that includes hotfit #1, #2 and the unreleased #3 for shader persistance

[SreckoM]

2011? What about 2012?

[bottleofram]

What about 2012?

Public beta just got out, dont be so hasty

[luceric]

that's a little harsh

[SreckoM]

Yeah, but u must admit that is good one

[Rork]

So... instead of a third hotfix for the corrupted RT's, we get a full new 2011-SP2 and 2011.5-SP1?
Or whatever wicked name the AD chaps will come up with
Question rises, does this SP has all the recent QFE's as well?

It at least explains why hotfix 3 took so long.....

@Luceric:
Any (new) ETA on the first Service Pack for Softimage 2012?
Is it still, like you said a couple of days ago:

worse case one month. The team is really waiting for more feedback on the product before sending a service pack

(quoted from here) or has anything (for instance this SP for 2011) changed that "timetable"?

In what consist this Hotfix? will resolve the rendering issue?

[Rork]

we're talking SI 2011, not 2012.

Hi Rork,
I talk about 2011, i.e. there is issue with Volumic and physical sky.

[Hirazi Blue]

I´m afraid this Service Pack will probably not resolve these specific problems.
I hope I´m wrong though...
I guess they have already given up on the volumic property long ago, but simply forgot to remove it...

yes, I play to day with 2012 trial and find some little bugs, like bevel distance (deform the geometry in some case and the adjunctive edge loop disappear), happened only when the geometry is a bit strange and contort, but 2011 have not this issue. Also, I had some crash (simple playing around)

I´m afraid this Service Pack will probably not resolve these specific problems.

So this hotfix what aim at?
