Vantage live link only parially working (list)

(1/1)

Stefan-L:
HI,

that live link is added with animation si great.

i installed v13 but i cant get live link to fully work for now:

1) camera is wrong, it ignores the x,y shift in c4d cam settings(essential for archviz)
2) hdri BG sky missing(i use a sky +hdri mix
3) luts etc are not transferred
4) many materials are missing, not sure why(bitmap textures), it seems mostly if we use the "mix" slider in the materials texture slot, also a very important feature used all time in arch.

5) it is terribly slow, i almost cant move any thing, not in c4d or in vantage once live link is on.
i have a 4090, on other software the same scene is super fast once exported. the scene itself works fine in c4d only(not vantage live link)

when i find more issues i post here

Stefan-L:
i cannot get displacement to work, any idea?

is there AO working - similar as dirt does in vray connection?

This is now reported (Report ID=CC4D-1036). Hopefully we can get support for it soon.

It seems to be working fine here. Could you please drop a sample scene at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

There are some known limitations to post-processing/tonemapping. Hopefully some improvements are possible.

I couldn't reproduce it. Can you also send us an example of this at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I guess it depends on the scene, but it shouldn't make things terribly slow. If you have a sample scene, please also upload it in a support ticket.

This worked fine in my test. Did you use a bitmap or a procedural shader?

Looks like Corona AO isn't supported at this time. I have reported it as (Report ID=CMAX-1720).

Keep 'em comin!

Stefan-L:
ok thanks for the infos!

for the displacement i use bitmaps.

i have sadkly severe issues with almost any existing scene made in corona 12. live link gives quite unexpected results, no sky, or only sky with coiuds but no scene elements or objects.
all works interesting erelatively good when i use ht elive link from vray, even thohgh the scene is corona.

i need to investigate more and maybe reinstall vanatge and or corona 13 again, soem seems off here yet.

hope to soon be able to use it more with corona:)

If you have any scenes where the issues can be reproduced (for example the "no sky" or "no objects"), please contact us here and attach your scenes: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Thanks in advance!
