Could you please explain what a "Local wind problem" is? I'm assuming it has something to do with the transform attributes on the nucleus node, correct?

Meaningful descriptions/titles in bug reports are much appreciated.

[Nelson Cruz]

Sure thing Michiel. The basic problem was that local wind had no effect when "Ignore Solver Wind" was checked.

What were the hotfix3 fixes? Did I miss that update?
Is the final gather map problem fixed?

[Nelson Cruz]

There was an issue with the Final gather map visualization feature not working. This was fixed in Maya 2012 hf2.

Hello, I've just downloaded the hot fix 4 for my os x 10.7 lion.
Because the previous installation file doesn't work for 10.7, the installation failed in the end.
This hot fix can be installed, but when I launch it it only jumps on dock, the application window never shows up, and what I can do is only to force it quit....
Any idea about this?

Thanks,
Pine

Hi,

IS there any chance we can get a gamma corrected colour swatch picker for Maya or a setting that converts colours to linear space? Seems essential now for a rendering app.
