I have purchased recently many plug-ins and shaders for my EIAS 7.0 / Mac (Intel ) Machine.
Most of the plugin & Shaders’ examples files are very good.
Unfortunately I can’t open them as it is (I mean without skip or remove) in EIAS 7.0 .  And after many tries....I found out, the sample files use models from Old ‘ Uber Shape Plugin’ and this Uber Shape Plug is not compatible to new UB version.

The bottomeline is unable to use the sample files just bcz they use models made by Old versions of Uber Shape plugin.
Also the plugin makers’s concentrations is just to develop their plugin to UB not convert the sample files.
Anybody can provide some trans codes or hints how to over come this problem?
Electric Image sells online Konkeptoine plugin for UB versions. Even their sample files experience the same problem.
How a new buyer will benefit from the sample files?????

Hi Dominic,

When you are asked where the plug-in is, simply choose the renamed one from the sockets folder.

Best,
Ian

Well, how developers could know that several years later UberShape will be changed? In other hand, not always it’s possible to have/preserve 100% compatibility with old projects (especially for shaders upgrades). But the prob is not a fatal drama. The solutions are:

1) Open any tutorial with EI 6.5 and re-import all old UberShapes as FACT files. Such modified sample project becomes Ok for any EI vers.

2) As Ian suggested, try to replace old plug-in with new one when sample prj is loaded. From our experience sometimes it does work, sometimes nope (maybe dependent on old Uber vers)

3) Concrete for Konkeptoine products you can ask developers to fix this prob. About NX and NPR - please ask Luis, for all others - us. We’ll modify samples and ask Phil to re-upload them. It will take several days (but not weeks/months)

Hi Ian & Igors
Thankx for your replies..
Seems this will solve problem..
As Igors mentioned I am happy if all sample files are modified and uploaded for new versions.

Well, here “all” does not mean “all available Konkeptoine products” (it’s hundreds of sample projects). But speaking concrete about Fire and DisAppear samples - we’ll help soon.
