Title: Corona doesn't seem to support Forest Pack's ''Frame from map'' feature
Post by: Ink Visual on 2018-06-14, 18:52:07
Hi,
I'm just doing some tests with animating objects using Forest Pack and I think Corona is not supporting some of it's features.
When I try to control animated object's scale using map, rendering output is different from what I see in the viewport. (see attached screenshots)
After converting scene to Vray everything works as it should.
Anybody has experienced similar issue?
Thanks

Corona 1.7 (hotfix 4)
Latest version of Forest Pack Lite

Just tested it using Vray RT and it's giving me the same wrong result like Corona

So I just got the confirmation from iToo that this feature is not supported by Corona renderer yet and this has to be resolved on your side.

Could admin move it to "Feature requests" board?
Also, Corona Team, do you have any idea when this could be implemented?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. We'll look into this, will have a chat with iToo, and will let you know when we can expect it.

According to the note on iToo website:

To improve this  behavior we should include new functions to our API, and then all 3rd  party renderers update their Forest Pack implementation using the new  interface. These changes are in our wish-list, and we hope can be done  in future updates. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I have just asked iToo if they have already implemented some updates, and if those updates should be reflected in Corona.

Itoo have not updated this yet, so we are still waiting for it.
