Do I need to get 2.01? Can I get it just if I want it? I called my dealer yesterday to inquire, and he didn't have a clue about 2.01. After several phone calls to Autodesk, he told me they only ship it to whomever is having a specific bug problem and you have to tell Autodesk what the bug is before they will ship. So where does that leave me? I have not found any bugs, but you guys seem to be pushing 2.01, so I feel I should get it, but the dealer says otherwise. Tim Branan

hi tim, here are just a few significant corrections in V2.01. Just use those. + 3d studio now correctly handles materials during a merge operation if two materials of the same exist. + 3d studio correctly handles the situation when a cd-rom drive is not ready and one has shelled out to dos temporatily. + fixed a problem with the alpha channel of 32-bit texture maps overriding color values while being rendered in video post. i hope this will do it. regards rudi

hi tim, i just read what i wrote. ofcourse there are lots of correction but i meant you could use one or two of those corretions to get your update. i am here in munich and i couldnt get the update yet because autodesk told me here they havent got it yet from the states. … but i got the 2 page of 2.01 changes. so long.

If you get any of our IPAS routines, you'll have to get 2.01 in order to take advantage of various speed optimizations for them. Otherwises, the big fixes are fairly minor. All dealer's were sent information about the 2.01 update, so if your doesn't know anything about it, he's either misplaced it or it never arrived in the mail. It sounds like you've got the information you need (via Germany, no less) to get it. – G
