So we've been trying for days to get Ornatrix dynamics to work here at the studio with our 2012 x64 installs but keep getting the dreaded "not installed correctly" error. We have quite a few plugins (not to mention most of the Max 2012 service packs/hotfixes) installed such as TP5, Box 2 & 3, latest Rayfire, etc...all of which I'm sure complicate this matter even more. I've tried replaced EVERY INSTANCE of the two DLLs (loader and cooker) with those posted here on the EPhere website. The fun part is that these files are located in no less than FOUR different places in the Max 2012 directory structure, but replaceing them all still doesn't get the dynamics to work.
\Autodesk\3ds Max 2012
\Autodesk\3ds Max 2012\stdplugs\PhysX_2.8.4
\Autodesk\3ds Max 2012\stdplugs\(PhysX)
\Autodesk\3ds Max 2012\stdplugs\(PhysX)\PhysX_2.X\nvpxTools32
I've tested the dynamcis at home with the Ornatrix Demo version and got it to work, but only after replacing the two DLLs in my Max root. I assume this is was needed because I had 2012 SP1 installed and not the orig shipping version of Max? Needless to say all of this has been very frustrating and at this point we are looking at installing an alternate copy of Max 2012 on a spare machine JUST to run dynamic sims. If anyone else has found a way to sort out all this PhysX/Ornatrix mess your help is appreactied.
Thanks,
Mitch
