Title: Pre-render events not being triggered
Post by: JCdeBlok on 2016-04-06, 20:20:50

I'm using Corona to render some fluid meshes from PhoenixFD and noticed that it works fine when I render individual frames manually but the fluid mesh fails to update when rendering a frame range.

So I thought I'd force an update using the #preRenderEval  event but that doesn't get triggerd at all.

In then end I manged to make it work using this, forcing and update by setting the slidertime to current render time.

Code: [Select]

fn forceUpdate=
(
 slidertime = currentTime
)

callbacks.removeScripts #preRenderFrame  id:#fu
callbacks.addScript #preRenderFrame "forceUpdate()" id:#fu

So I'm not sure what the problem is but something fishy is going on with the pre render events making PhoenixFD not update the mesh..

Hi JCdeBlok,
I'm trying to use Corona with Phoenix FD to.
Where did you put this script on 3DSMAX ? and can we use it to render with rebusfarm or ranchcomputing likes ?

Hi,
this was fixed in dailies, and 1.5 will feature this fix (confirmed with phoenix FD developers)
