What will happen to the old Asgvis.com site?
-
There is some mess-up with the usernames. All my posts are under "thomthom_cg" or "imported_thomthom" - different depending on what page I look at.
But I got access to "thomthom" only.
-
and I have no chance to do anything

We are working on integrating the forums with the Chaos Group site. It is their wish to have everything unified, which totally makes sense. There shouldn't be an asgvis site anymore, if there is no company called asgvis, right? As with any merging of data, there have been some hiccups, but we're hopeful that everything will be resolved soon.

glad to hear from you devin.. i just wish they just rename the former asgvis into whatever name they wanted.

Since we're all the same company now, it doesn't really make sense to have separate websites for our two plugins, and the rest of the company. Once we get the username stuff straightened out, everything should be fine. All of the posts have been ported over I believe, so all that's missing is user permission and naming convention issues. We understand that it's a rather big change, but by joining forces with Chaos Group as much as possible, and sharing resources, I am sure we will have a better end user experience once we are finished the merger.

Has anyone found the .vismat material collection and tutorials/models...

i hope, all the tutorials, materials downloads, galleries, featured users, blogs and other things will still be there. -
After the initial shock of the change I realize what Devin was saying makes sense. No reason not to integrate it all together. Having said that, does anyone know if it is or will be possible to setup which forum threads are shown individually? I mean, back with ASGVIS there really was only two thread groups to deal with of which I only used the Sketchup based one (although there is great information in the Rhino sections as well). But now that Chaos Group has taken it over there are like 5+ groups of which I am only really interested in viewing one.
I hope this post isn't in violation of Sketchucation forum rules. If it is I offer my apologies, I would have posted this over at Chaos' forum if I had the privileges.

Yes - there are roll up/down buttons for each section.

I hope they get this sorted soon.

There's a little arrow to the right of every forum on the cg forums. If you click it, it will collapse like the fold panels in our material editor. I think I like their forum more than the one we used on our site.

We are hoping to have this sorted out by next week.
-
At least I got access to my imported account.
-
do i have a like button here thom thom?
-
What I'd really like to know is if there will be a full compatibility between materials from vray for 3dsmax to vray for skp/rhino... I think that would be a nice thing..
-
oh..i can post to max and maya but not sketchup and rhino threads.
-
I've been waiting patiently, but it's been more than a week now. Anyone have any idea when the chaosgroup forum will be online for vfsu and vfr users?
Btw, I do have to say it's been really great to browse through the postings on the vray for max part of the forum. I have actually learned a few more tricks/ tweaks for my vray settings.-Andy

I know I can post now, and another user posted on the forums. Chaos Group is combing through the users manually, to help ensure that the data is migrated properly between our old forum and their forum. I'm not sure how far along they are, but if you give it another shot, you might be able to post now, or by this weekend.
-
Some poor soul is going through all the thousands of user accounts from the former ASGVis site?
-
anyway we know you are doing your best there. so good luck to you guys.
