You've come a long way with PS, Guus! It's looking brilliant! Well done & keep it up.

Thanks Seeker!

A quick heads-up guys, there is something wrong in all exporters except the new one (EXPORT ALL (ALTERNATIVE)), tomorrow I will release Phantom Node Link and then start working on a hotfix for Phantom Scatter which will take care for the problem. This is the first time I am trying to combine software packages for a single workflow process so there will be some hiccups. There's something wrong with the older exporters which try to access the Phantom Node Link library (which noone has yet). (Ofcourse you can all still use Phantom Scatter 1.9c which will work)

Phantom Scatter 1.10 b is now available!

» Billboarding nodes are now not included in the clipboard export through COPY TO CLIPBOARD anymore. This decision was made as billboarding is not supported through Phantom Node Link and adds complexity and additional load to the export.

» All of the exporters now properly support Phantom Node Link and should not crash anymore.

» Added support for clipboard CTRL+V for RAY-scatter.

» Small tweaks in the new EXPORT ALL (ALTERNATIVE) export mode for AREA scatter.

» Fixed issue where Group nodes linked to the node hierarchy were only exported after exporting a 2nd time.

Well guess what.... there is a bug in Windows API which means that file detection does not always work which causes unexpected problems when Phantom Scatter tries to grab files from Phantom Node Link, or when Phantom Node Link tries to grab files from Phantom Scatter.

I will attempt a hack to solve this problem

Phantom Scatter 1.10 c is now available!

» Added function WIN API PAUSE for all scatter modes that can hook up into data from Phantom Node Link.

Due to a problem in Windows API when Phantom Scatter looks up Node Link data, a small pause needs to be introduced in the exporting procedure when detecting data.

You can increase this value slightly if your Phantom Node Link data does not show up when you paste the result into Octane Standalone.

Handle with care!

Ideally you will not have to change this value to anything else, the default value of 15 ms (milliseconds) should take care of any problems. This was tested on a machine with an i7 4790. So if you have a slower CPU than this, it could be that the timing in Windows API breaks again and in that case you can try slightly increasing this value.

This looks super interesting as I've got a landscape project coming up in a month. Though for the life of me I can't find any video tutorials.
I know that's kind of lazy, but I'm kind of a visual person and reading isn't too good (cough).

Where are the video tutorials, come to me my pretties!

Guus,

When I open it from it here it works just fine?

Maybe the webhost had a little downtime...could you try again?

Works now great! Getting my money ...

I sent you an email to info@...
