Hi François, hello all,
- Solid mode:
It's the first time I can see this, wonderful! Exactlty what I hoped from you Nicolas :-) This time you can tell it's a real preview in solid mode! No transparency nor gamma settings but a preview with an astounding accuracy, except for lights (1 suspect one more in preview but maybe is it the lack of shadows) Of course I understand, shadows are very time consuming. Moving the mouse is like watching a cartoon.
I had a bug when hight zooming with your first exe but I can't reproduce it with the new one. Good no? ;-)
- Colored modes: Beautiful too but here there is a problem. It can be very beautiful but I don't have the same colors I have with rendering (?). Colors are differents. Like if the gradient's arithmetic would'nt be the same in both cases. Just try any kind with the standard gradients: youl'll see the first calculations but if you click to see the enhanced preview, you won't see anything or something very dark. Try to render the picture... surprise, it appears. Easy to see this strange behavior: just change the black angle gradient by a red one for instance, press F3, see, and click on view, you'll see what I mean. It's not the same color scheme...
263524 Ko for a huge zoom, more than 90 ;-). Depends of parameters in options file. Even returning to a 'normal' view by a new F3, the memory consumption stays hight. To free the memory I need to launch an other rendering mode. Sometimes a peak at more than 400 Mo. Launching an other rendering mode reallocates the minimum required memory.
For a normal usage, it could be useful to have a sign somewhere showing the machine is in calculations instead watching the task manager ;-) I know it's a test release... I appreciate the iteration correction on zoom feature, great! Fast and efficient!
Bug when passing from light to plasma: violation access in module atioglxx.dll (read of adress 000000) and an other with "external exception EEFFACE"
All these values can vary a little bit, around 100 Ko more or less. Don't know why.
Thanks for your detailed test report!
