I dont know if this is a problem with the vertex manipulation commands or the new calculate object bounds command. In short, run my program and notice how when you deform the verts, if you look up at the very top of the mesh, the camera will clip the entire object even when some part of it is still in view. As if the new object bounds arent being updated.

Ontop of all that the bounding box isnt updating for the 'show object bounds' command.

Anyone been able to test the code yet?

PS - This command runs UNGODLY slow when working on a object with multiple limbs. Is there anyway to speed it up? Could we please get a command that lets US specify the size of the bounding box? I could tell you what the bounding box should be for one of my terrain chunks in no time, but it takes dbpro over TEN THOUSANDTHS of a second to calculate just ONE of my terrian chunks (ehe I feel silly complaining about thousandths of a second, but thats very slow)!

yeah, and ng 2.03 fails horribly when using darkmatter1 models as they must be scaled before use, and the object sizes are wrong by default,and when i use calculate object bounds, it seems to make the object bounds the size of the model when it was loaded.

hey, even I need someone to talk to about my troubles...

**BUMP** this is a serious problem as ngc does not work with my models now!!!!!! Object size should return the size of the object at frame 0 ,a nd even with animation data, the model hasnt changed that much I mean cmon! those results are rediculous, in addition i tried making a box using the dimensions of the object after calculating object bounds, but i position my camera relative to the size of the target to allow flexible object sizes, and the camera is waaaaayyyy above the player, and there's no reason for that. as for now im forced to use 5.8, so please tgc revert object size for u6 or add new commands that are the equivalent of the previous versions of the language to fix this problem.

Dont code slowly be SWIFT about it!

I also have to request a way for US to set the dimensions of the bounding box. If you have a mesh of any size (or a object with many limbs) the current calculate object bounds command is slow as crap.

They only let Mike out of the basement like a couple times a year. With U6 coming up soon (..ehe) he should show up and start kicking the crap out of all these bugs.

Just because the size is now fixed doesn't mean the collision bounds are properly fixed though I hope so.

This was fixed by U6 beta4.
