max 2014 x64

any chance you could get this to work with max 2013??

"can't apply files" .. that's the error I get while installing

thanks a lot!

Hi eligt,
Yes, I've begun working on Patanouk 2 for Max 2015+.

Feel free to ask for features and stay tuned...

Cheerz!

Hello guys, i've been pretty busy for the last couple of month... sorry for not getting up-to-date.

Yes, I heard that some people came across some little hickups while adding objects to their libraries.

Unfortunately it has happened 20ish times over 1350 downloads, it is therefore hard for me to debug...

Is it possible for you to send me some scene that doesn't work?

And for adding textures to your assets, just fill your material with them, they'll be automatically copied into the library.

Cheerz!

I get an "Internet Connection Error" when trying to install?

Its an odd error, I can access the internet right now, so whats the solution? Screen grab of the max error attached. Any advice?

Thanks!

Hello bragibjornson,

Sorry for the delay, I am on Patanouk 2 and since this thread has been very silent for more than a year, i didn't expect any comment for Patanouk1 anymore...

My server was attacked... :/ We had to block every connection to prevent any loss of data. Therefore the installer can't reach the remote server. Sorry for the misexplaining error message.

I work on making it online asap, stay tuned, I will tell when Patanouk will be downloadable again...

Sorry about that...
Cheerz!

Hello everybody,
Everything has now returned to normal...

Patanouk can be installed without problem.

Cheerz!

- Same there.. Can't add objects to assets, can't add maps tooooooo.

How to add maps to assets?

This looks pretty slick.

It installed and I can create categories. I cannot add objects though. The following error appears.

Any thoughts?

Hello, could you send me some more details about the objects you try to add? Type, material, size, anything you can for me to reproduce the bug...
Thanks a lot for your feedback though!

just a box converted to editablePoly with a standard mat. must be some conflict with something else in my scripts. I will try at the office tomorrow and see what happens...

Hello, I tried by all means to reproduce the bug you encounter but never manage to get into it.

I suspect another plugin to corrupt some basic functions I use in Patanouk, althought there are not a lot. Were you able to try on another PC? Let me know!

Hello, I updated to 1.14 with tooltips.
Cheerz!

Hello all,

Patanouk has been updated to 1.13, please have a look at the changelog to check if your request has been implemented or not yet :)

Coming up next version with vray material support and better thumbnails rendering.

Cheerz

Hello Wolfsoull, thank you for your feedback!

Indeed, Vray materials aren't supported yet but are very planned for update 1.08 (1.07 is already very loaded).
It should come along with better thumbnails generation too.

1.07 should be released in early October while 1.08 would take another 2-3 weeks.

Cheerz!

hi, the script seems very good, but i use vray for production and when i create one asset with vray materials the thumb image dont show in the library! is a bug or dont have support yeat?

thanks

Hello and thank you for you feedback, I'll consider it as soon as the next update.

Cheerz!

Please consider condensing your ui. For me it's all about screen real estate.

Hi Bronius!

Thanks for having given a try to Patanouk. There's currently not automated uninstallation for the script but I'll include one in the next update.

Could you possibly tell me why you want to uninstall it? May I remember you that although it only currently handles basic epolys with multisubs/standard materials, the goal is to improve it?

Cheers guys!

I try various scripts just for interest and Patanouk was one of them. But I don't need manager at all (I don't use many textures).. BTW - I found how to uninstall. Thanx.

How to uninstall?

THANKSx3

All sounds great.

My big issues with max asset management is. The open,save,import,merge windows don't include the windows "My Place Bar". Can't wait to see your UI.

Hi Othoap!

No, Patanouk does not alter in any way your source file, it does not flush your undo stack either. It will only duplicate the selected object into the library...

More precisions and screens coming next week, thanks for your patience :D

There is actually no translation for Patanouk, it is actually the name of a wandering unknown and supposedly unexisting knight in the French comedy/drama/sitcom/series Kaamelott. It is some kind of tribute :P

Just wanted to be sure about this; Dose Patanouk alter the .max scene file in anyway?

Please include a ui shot

What is the translation of Patanouk ?

Hi and thank you very much for your interest in Patanouk!

Crystal3d : I am sorry, I indeed forgot to explain what was the script intended to! I was so exited about releasing it that I forgot that you guys had never heard about it :)
It is indeed planned to store and browse 3D models in a (portable) library. The previews are already created by the script while adding the asset to your library.
I already knew about those other scripts and have never been glad with using them... That's the reason why I actually started my own one. I really wanted to get rid of those frustrations and make it available to my 3dsMax-mates...
Also, all I can say is I will try to improve the script as far as I can and I really hope that ypu guys will help me to understand and summarize what's needed in Patanouk :D

JokerMartini : I actually made the same mistake with forgetting that you didn't know about the script. I will definitely make a more complete Help section for the next update.

Cheer-up guys, I hope we'll make something good here :D
( I am off of my computer until next week, then I'll be able to update the script's descrition and work on the next update)

but what does this do?

what are your plans? will it be used for browsing 3d models with previews? will it create previews?

two other scripts are working on this subject, one has very bad usage design and other's author has given up...

how far you feeling to go?

It would be beneficial to have the ms so everyone would have the ability to modify as needed to work within their pipelines unless there is a help file which explains how to control you manage with maxscript.
