Shader Options For Model > Projection - Correct Are Disabled In The macOS 8.0.6

Hello,

I updated to Starry Night 8.06 and noticed that under the shaders menu in preferences  "Model" and "Projection - Correct" became disabled. I was able to enable them in Starry Night Pro Plus 8.05.

Was there a reason for disabling them?

Can I have the link to revert back to 8.05?

Are there release notes for 8.06?

 

Thanks,

Andre D Ficklin

    Hi Andre, 

    Developer say this option should only be enabled if your graphics card supports this level of shading.

    • Are you using the same computer?
    • Have you updated the OS?
    • What OS are you on?

    Even if these options are not supported Starry Night will still fall back to a slower method of drawing.

    If you want to install 8.0.5 please signup for a beta account at beta.starrynight.com

    The 8.0.6 release was released to future proof SN8 installers versus the higher security standards that are coming with macOS Catalina in 2020.

    Hello

    Before upgrading to 8.06, I was using 8.05 with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.2, using a MacBook Pro 16 inch with the following specifications:
     
     64GB 2666 DDR4 memory, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 2.4 GHz 8-Core I9. 
     
    All shader options were available, Model and Projection,  until upgrading to 8.06.
     
    So my hardware fully supports all shader options as it did in 8.05.
     
    I did download 8.05 but it a beta. Is there a released version I can download? Also here is a snap shot showing all shaders available:
     
     
    Thanks

    Thanks, Andre, I'll have the developers take a look at this.
