Hello, this time i have to animate machines and working a lot with zookeeper, that's why i want to write all bugs here in that thread..by the way: great program:)

 

so i will start:

 

  • most biggest problem: if i want to edit the appearances of a costum atrribute i can do it, but after apply they are not saved...ok sometimes saved, but if i go again into edit appearances than there are the standard values like min. Value = 0, max. Value = 100 and default Value = 0

  • to delete custom attributs from the object i have to mark it as a composite input (than a error is shown), than demark composite input and it is deleted..would be better, to just delete and it is away..

  • if i rename a parameter in a custom attribut, than the node from this parameter to the goal (for example bezier float) will be delete

  • is there something like a hide funtion for nodes? For example if i put out the nodes for rotation and i don't use it in any way, than i want to hide it...del-button is not working everytime..for example if i use del-button for deleting a custom attribut it is deleted in zookeeper, but not in the object..now i have three costum attributes on a object, but it is not possible for me to delete them, because they are not shown in zookeeper..strange example, but i have it very often..the last time i had my max crashed because of it..i wanted to delete this object in the scene and did it in zookeeper and max freezed

  • if i create a slider (helper), it is not shown in the viewport

  • how can i hide node between two node..for example i have a objectnode, from that the transformation node, from that the rotation node and from that a bezier float node...but the transformation node and the rotation node i don't want to see, just the bezier float node and the object node..in one video it was shown, but at this moment i cant take a look to the videos because it starts to play and i want togo forward faster in the video but it don't work

Hello,

First thanks a lot  for all these reports. Many of them I have just validated and we will fix ASAP. Next time if you wouldn't mind posting them in the "Defect Reports" section it can help us track these things better :). Let me go through your issues below:

  • most biggest problem: if i want to edit the appearances of a costum atrribute i can do it, but after apply they are not saved...ok sometimes saved, but if i go again into edit appearances than there are the standard values like min. Value = 0, max. Value = 100 and default Value = 0

I can see there is an issue here. This needs to be fixed. Thanks for the report!

  • to delete custom attributs from the object i have to mark it as a composite input (than a error is shown), than demark composite input and it is deleted..would be better, to just delete and it is away.

Removing the input should also delete the custom attribute. This needs to be fixed. Thanks for the report!

  • if i rename a parameter in a custom attribute, than the node from this parameter to the goal (for example bezier float) will be delete.

The name is important for linking so it's best to make sure you name your custom attributes before wiring them. That being said we will look into fixing this so that they are automatically reattached.

  • is there something like a hide funtion for nodes? For example if i put out the nodes for rotation and i don't use it in any way, than i want to hide it...del-button is not working everytime..for example if i use del-button for deleting a custom attribut it is deleted in zookeeper, but not in the object..now i have three costum attributes on a object, but it is not possible for me to delete them, because they are not shown in zookeeper..strange example, but i have it very often..the last time i had my max crashed because of it..i wanted to delete this object in the scene and did it in zookeeper and max freezed.

The delete button should work for custom attributes and not remove them. You should be able to drag them out after. This needs to be fixed. Thanks for the report!

  • if i create a slider (helper), it is not shown in the viewport

This is likely because of the default value of the slider when created (position or size). If you adjust it and then save that as the default value, next time you create it, it will be visible.

  • how can i hide node between two node..for example i have a objectnode, from that the transformation node, from that the rotation node and from that a bezier float node...but the transformation node and the rotation node i don't want to see, just the bezier float node and the object node..in one video it was shown, but at this moment i cant take a look to the videos because it starts to play and i want togo forward faster in the video but it don't work

This can be done with the filters at the top by category. It might be useful to hide nodes one by one too. Please add this as a feature request.

Thanks a bunch

Hey Michael,

 

thanks for your reply.. the next time i will post in defect reports..sorry about that:)

about my last part of my thread, i didn't meant that i want to hide only transform controls or something like that...i meant if i have a lot nodes between two nodes, which are important for me, i want to hide the nodes between them..in one video it was shown by a line like that: -------
