Title: Rendering Clone from a Matrix object
Post by: caspian on 2024-02-27, 08:28:02

I have a scene where I am disintegrating an object with some mograph. I have a Cloner that is driven by a Matrix.
In Redshift I understand I can just render the Matrix with a Redshift tag so I don't need the cloner but with Corona I do, correct?
But with Corona I can't seem to get the clones to appear in my render. What's the trick?
Working file attached

The trick is to render to the picture viewer. The missing clones in the IR seem to be a bug or a limitation (no idea).

Thanks for that tip. I can now see them in the picture viewer, but it isn't quite right. The sizes and quantity seem to be wrong.

I think the issue here is the multi-instances not showing in IR but they do render in the final image. For IR, changing to instances seems to work.

Is setting the cloner to Instance the only change you did?
Mine isn't behaving the same way.

Hi, yes. This is all I changed. Let me revisit the scene to double-check.
