Ptex is a texture mapping system developed by Walt Disney Animation Studios for production-quality rendering.

Does 3.3 use CUDA 3.0 (and toolkit)?

8 core 2.5 Xeon /12 gb RAM GL 64 Cuda / 560GTX-Ti. I always use the latest build.

Btw, it is not mentioned in press release (because it was done today), but one major bug is fixed there - voxel baking problem mentioned by Artman, AbnRanger and michalis (holes/clipping in normalmap on dense voxel meshes)

I compiled it with 2.2 because 3.0 requires latest drivers and not everyone donloaded it.
I will compile with 3.0 when I will get GTX 480 and fix it's issue.

Somehow it seems the download button for the manual still points to the 3.2 manual...

I made a bunch of test with different problematic files and it seems problem is really fixed.

Yes, as long as you don't use meshes with more polys than 30k...
In my tests 3DC "freezed" when I was using the snapping method "snap to nearest" with high poly meshes. No way to use it. The other both routines works, but "snap to closest along normal" is very slow, too.

Yes, the downloadable manual needs to be updated. Personally I don't understand why we need a downloadable one when one comes with the program, unless it's just for people to heck out before they download the program.

Question, I never noticed this before though it might have always been true. I have downloaded the linux version 3.3 but noticed that it is opened with the Wine program emulating windows under linux. Has that always been the case? The linux version will not run unless I have Wine open it plus I have to reinstall my license each time. If this has been asked before, forgive me, I just started using Linux about a month ago.

Operating System Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Edit: Since the linux version does not have a regular install should I just overwrite the version 3.2.11 folder and in that way are my settings saved and I do have to put my reinstall my license...

Edit: Ok, I just overwrote the 3.2.11 folder(after saving a copy of it) and my settings were saved plus no reinstalling of the license.

Thanks Andrew for another great update, Since 2007 I been seeing you listen,respond and do your best to give us the software that helps us create. Looking forward to seeing the brush engine updated too...
