    ok added beta player to my 32 bit DS4.6 as to not overwrite my full current version LAMH 64 bit (and kept the original dll)
    maybe curves work but no good for animation, crashes
    actually all my renders crash using 3Ddelight
    and openGL render works with just the curve representations and shows what happens, it lags
    really need rigged geometry for animation
    might do the occasional still render if I feel like it and get it to work but not my thing, prob not going to bother

    I love LAMH for creating geometric fibremesh fur and use it a lot but as I do not use Daz studio or do still renders probably not going to use these furs much unless I can convert to geometry.
    I cannot download full beta as my email address has changed since I bought LAMH and I had enough issues with my new usb modem on registration on that version so will wait till all is updated in store.
    Just put my furs on ice until then.

    update renaming the dll to dll.bak as suggested in 64 bit and sticking the player one in worked so can at least render my furrred cats as stills

    so 1.07 is the latest RC for LAMH? I'll have to uninstall and reinstall and see if that helps, I downloaded it hoping it would work about a week or two ago but still got crashing when trying to load a few of the products I got here that had the presets, but I never actually uninstalled, I just deleted the old files and copied the new ones in. I bought the big cat 2 as well as the LAMH set last night but have yet to download them, i'm hoping the panther will be on sale a few more days, I am debating on getting that as well.

    Hi,
    please check out that you are using latest LAMH Player beta (1.07.7P). You can check that from DAZ->About Installed Plugins, or clicking on the tiny LAMH Icon in the LAMH Pane available in DS.
    See if helps, instead of loading the Lion Preset .duf, to load the Lion plain figure (without fur), and 'Attach' the lion .lmh preset available in your My DAZ 3D Library->Animals->DAZ Big Cat 2->Breeds->AM->lion.lmh

    Make sure that you only have the latest player BETA (soon to be in the store updated but not yet) that is linked to at the start of the thread. But here's the link again: http://www.furrythings.com/lamh-player/

    you need to go there to get THAT VERSION of player for the cats fur to work :) Not the older player from the store or the full version right now.

    EDIT: Alessandro beat me hee hee

    Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i can't wait to play... too much work in real life to do first.... might take a sanity break to play with them tho or i'll go crazy ;)

    Make sure that if you have the 1.07 Beta full loaded that the player dll is not installed. The player is for those who don't own LAMH. the 1.07 RCs include the player.

    Also, the Octane Plugin can cause problems for LAMH and vice versa. We are working with them on a fix.

    After uninstall the player and install the latest beta, all cats loads fine.

    Hi, as Kendall said above:

    "Make sure that if you have the 1.07 Beta full loaded that the player dll is not installed. The player is for those who don’t own LAMH. the 1.07 RCs include the player.

    Please try that and let me know if it fix it for you.

    I don't understand, can you email me your DS log file to check what's going on? Isn't that you perhaps have multiple lamhPlugin dll files in your plugins folder?

    I had a bit of an oddness today. The latest LAMH full RC kept crashing the latest DS public beta running on Mac OS Lion when trying to load several several big cat 2 presets (tried male lion, hyena, regular panther). In between those attempts I tried adding a LAMH hair object to e.g. a sphere and those attempts worked great and rendering wasn't a problem either. Then I tried to load the mouse by Joe Quick. It succeeded and curiously afterwards I was able to load the big cat 2 presets. So apparently it resolved itself for me, though I am not sure why and how.

    I still got the latest crash log, but as the issue resolved itself, I wouldn't be able to reproduce this anymore. Nevertheless I could mail the log if it would be helpful in this case - unless this is known.

    The log file would indeed help. If you like you can email it at: info_at_alessandromastronardi.com (replace "_at_" with "@")

    Really love the way the fur looks, am waiting to see if I can get LAMH (full) to work before purchasing it...

    Does anyone know if this Big Cat 2 fur and other LAMH presets will work or maybe work better with this latest release of DS 4.6.1.39? Kendall has been trying to help me sort out why I'm having problems, and have gotten a few of the older presets to work... -Cathy

    I have verify the version of the plugin which was installed :1.0.7.0
    and the error log was
    Extension Manager 6.0.8 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    I go to the site with my password and download which i thought is the last version and install it and got version 1.0.6.7
    But with this version Lion King and others except tiger are loading correctly

    If i have the complete plugin it is true i don't need to install the free player ? I have installed it and may be it is a conflix with the plugin

    If it says 1.0.6.7, then yes that is the player. You should disinstall it, and install the 1.07.03 RC (full version).

    BTW, I see that there is a new release of studio. DS4.6.1.39. Will the updated plugin work with this, or should we avoid it until everything attains parity?

    Just tested, It does seem to have fixed all the errors was seeing in the other Player. Can not wait until you get LAMH full to this level.

    I had a funny thought about the full version... what if DAZ were to buy it and make it fully integrated into DAZ Studio 5?

    Not gonna happen. :-D

    We've big plans for LAMH and Infinito and other really great things to come.

    1.07 Full is really, really close.

    Would be a nice feature, but the support might get a bit iffy. And it seems to be a plugin that needs support.

    Well it was just a funny thought!

    Next you guys need to work on a dynamic system that will allow us to use obj's for draping, then DAZ Studio will be more formidable than ever.

    Does the player work better than the full version? Maybe I'll download the player and use that until the full version is updated again, maybe I'll have better luck.
