Bezier Float Controller for CoronaBitmap

[Alex Abarca]

Hi Corona Team,

I would like to spin my HDRI using a bezier controller. Does the team know why I'm not able to target the ROTATE (DEGREES): ENVIRONMENT spinner in corona or the U: OFFSET in 3dsmax?
I know it's possible with the regular bitmap loader I am just wondering why the controller is not the same in CoronaBitmap.
Thank you - Alex

That's not it. It doesn't work with an HDRI. However in theory its the same, but if you examine your controller you'll see that viewport it does not change.

I have reason to believe that the ROTATE (DEGREES) ENVIRONMENT is just a translator to degrees taken from U: OFFSET. Corona Team can you confirm this?

It's UVW offset, but you need to hook Point3 controller to it. For some reason U and V offset are linked with rotation only when controlled from parameter editor, but not with controllers.

I shall try Romullus, most likely you are using the latest version of Corona.

Do you know if this works with corona 4 hotfix 1?

Yes, this should work with all Corona versions that has CoronaBitmap.

Hi Romullus, the 3point controller worked and it updates during interactive rendering. However the Rotate (Degrees) Environment did not translate the numerical value in the U:Offset to Degrees, but that's Ok. I just want to be able to spin it artistically.

Thank you!

What Romullus suggest worked fine. Thank you for the video link.
