Using PMC Test build for production

[Refracty]

The PMC version was meant for testing but is there a functional ristriction of opening 2.47 nodes in 2.46b?
I tried it out but couldn't find any missing nodes / wrong linking so far...

Any experiences with using new scenes with the last recommended, stable build (2.46b)?

Cheers

Well, the beta 2.47 test build has quite a few issues (like overflows in superbright areas or multi-GPU problems). And the PMC kernel node can't be used in older builds, too.

That's the reason why we recommended not to use the build for production work.

So lets say I am dealing with nodes and settings in 2.47 that are new (PMC, dispersion,...)
Will I get into trouble (scene will not open or scrambled) when I open the 2.47 in 2.46b?

I just want to be save (So save somebody could be by using a beta )

Thanks Abstrax

In my experience 2.47 test version is very stable (only one crash so far), so I never went back to 2.46

Make a backup copy of a scene, open it in 2.47, tweak the new params., save it, and then try to open it in 2.46 and you'll see if it works.

I am having trouble with linking old camera nodes to the Preview node.
I will still use 2.46b for a while.
But thanks Matej.
