Free LAMH Player and DS 6

CWRW

I had a friend ask me about this so I started messing with it- I hadn't installed the new DS6 yet so I did that. I looked to add the Free LAMH Player to DS6 and the DIM didn't like that/only allowed for version 4.25.  I am guessing that the Free Player is no longer supported because of the 3DL render engne issue/the free player defaults to 3DL.  Is that the case?  If not is there any workaround to have the LAMH pane show up/work in DS6 so it could at least be used to do the iray obj conversion? (On Mac I do plan to mess with "installing" the player manually as I have that download zip still/non-DIM and see what happens... I don't know WIndows at all).

It's a plug-in, so it will need a new version for DS 6. I have no idea whether or when that will happen, but LaMH can be used with Iray if baked to geometry so the lack of 3Delight wouldn't necessarily be a block.

Ah!  So all plug-ins that worked in DS4 wil need to be updated to be installed and work in DS6 then...  is that the cae or just some?

And yes I was planning to use it myself using the iray obj/bake to geometry workaround. I've pretty much never used it in 3DL even in DS4.

Thanks!

All plugins require an update.

Gotcha!  Thanks!  I'm still using 4.25 myself (lol I think I have 6 different DS versions between my 3 Mac towers and 1 laptop) but wanted to be aware of issues with DS6 and how that can affect my own products.
