I really hope for a bridge between Corona and Vantage too (or another "realtime" solution for Corona).

Could the dev team provide us with more information on what is happening behind the scene regarding this specific topic?

Too many threads on the same thing :) This has been answered elsewhere, that it won't be a live link since Vantage can only read vrscene, and that means a conversion from Corona which will take too long to do for an IR like approach. So this will be an export to Vantage so you can use that for rendering where appropriate (e.g. quick drafts and checks, etc.). All this is planned for 12 so will show up in a daily at some point in the future.

Sorry for the tangent here, but can't Vantage be used for animations (and not only for quick drafts) ? But with a hit to quality ofc, as the lighting and other effects must be calculated much faster and you are limited by the GPU Vram?

[TomG]

Spot on - I suggested for drafts as in many cases the limitations that come from GPU are something to be avoided in finals, for Corona users anyway, where ultimate realism and quality is often the goal. For a project where that's not the case, then sure no reason it can't be a final deliverable for you :) Depends on your project and client.

Vantage is excellent for animations!
i see this as main sense for Vantage.

i hope the vrscene export from Corona will include the c4d animation (as V-Ray C4D does it)

Hi Tom,
thanks a lot for your time and your answer and sorry for not having seen the answer elsewhere.

I'll have à close look on the dev versions in the coming months!

[TomG]

No worries on not spotting it elsewhere - looks like many folks are excited about and interested in Vantage, so the same topic has been started multiple times, and that is nothing but a good sign for the level of interest in Vantage :) We'll keep you posted (probably in a centralized thread once we have something out in a daily build). Thanks!
