Upgrading to 2.9 now or waiting for a while?

Hi everybody,

I am using 2.8 and just started a large-scale project with both interior and exterior and massive landscape design including lots of plants and trees.

I remember the D5 team always suggested not to upgrade in the middle of a project, but I feel like all these new upgrades can help me a lot with all these landscapes and terrain I have in the project.

I really like to upgrade to 2.9, but if there might be some general issues since the upgrade is just released I prefer to stay on 2.8.

Any tech advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Nima.

Hi @nima.mousavi9 We are not anticipating any major issues therefore you may go ahead and upgrade to version 2.9 if prompted. I recommend saving a backup of the new project file if desired. Thanks

Hi there, I apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused. Can you provide more information regarding the crashes that you have experienced after updating your 2.9 Version? Perhaps a screenshot or a recording of it happening.

You may also want to revert back to 2.8 using this download link : D5 Render 2.8 Download inorder to continue your project, thank you so much.

Thank you everyone
I did upgrade anyway and yes I faced some issues but I have to check it later.
For now, it does not showing the main terrain but I have to che in sketchup model
I will update in 12 hours.

Thank you all,
Nima.

Okay, update: The landscape problem was caused by my mistake in layering. However, some materials were missing, and I had to do it again, which was fine, although I did not expect that.

Anyhow, I was searching for new upgrades and faced a weird issue, In the asset library I cannot see anything in the scatter and terrain panel (no content with the current filter)! Of course, no filter is on and to be said the material/model/particle/HDRI parts are working fine.

Hi there, please have you been able to access the scatter assets since upgrading to 2.9?

I would like to know if the issue occurs on empty scene files as well. If the issue occurs on all files, kindly share your log file with us via mail support@d5techs.com with the tag Anthony_Forum_2.9.

No nothing, just opened a new empty file, closed it, and re-run the D5 from Sketchup and it all showed up
