I get the same problem. I have tested it thoroughly on max 9-32 and 64, max 2008-32 and 64, in open gl, directX, and Maxteam. Both on a quadro 3450 and 1500. using XP 64 on a hp xw9300 2xopteron 285, 8gb ram. Both the cards were up to date bios and driver.
We just purchased Dreamworks yesterday. I am already fed up and regret convincing my boss it was a good purchase!
Why is it that every bit of software I touch, DOES NOT WORK!?!? I have spent SO MUCH TIME messing around with:
Power NURBS pro
Deadline
After Effect 7 and 8
Forums, email, international phone calls in the middle of the night. All time wasted on badly written software, which ultimately results in the customer paying too much for a shit job.
And the thing that really gets me is that WE PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THE PRIVALAGE!
I can live without flashy upgrades. I would give up all the nice new features in any of my software, in exchange for stable versions.
I think the software industry is going down the wrong path. “must produce new versions every 12months. must keep shareholders happy, just take the alpha version and call it final. Let the customers work out the bugs for us.”
I used to work as an engineer. Working with 3d BREP CAD software. IT NEVER CRASHED! EVER! CAD software is like a rock, animation software crumbles the moment you look at it.
A note to all developers, shareholders and the rest:
I AM NOT A BETA TESTER!! I AM A PAYING CUSTOMER!!! SELL ME STABLE SOFTWARE!!!
