Title: Corona Camera Target distance resets to 0
Post by: iancamarillo on 2018-02-08, 18:28:19

I usually uncheck Targeted with my cameras. Lately I've noticed the target distance resets to 0 when submitting my jobs to the farm through Backburner. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Thanks!

How did you noticed/checked this? By investigating the scene file from BB-Manager or does the target distance was 0 in your local scene after submitting?


Good Luck

The render was blank. So I set the target distance to 100 and resubmitted but it came out blank again. I checked the distance and it reset to 0 again. So i set the distance and checked targeted, so I'm using a targeted camera now. That seems to work and it renders correctly.

Does it render normally on the local machine (no Backburner) when Targeted is unchecked, and Target Distance is set to 100 (and not when Target distance is 0)? Also, I presume something like depth of field is used (otherwise not sure Target Distance would affect anything) - if so, have you tried overriding the DOF Override focus, so it doesn't use the Target distance? Could enable you to continue to use untargeted cameras if you really prefer it that way :)
