Title: Multipass layer appear black when rendering till i click on the thumbnails
Post by: looma on 2019-01-11, 13:07:20

Hi everyone,

i have a weird issue since working with v3 release.
When i start my rendering all the multipass channels in the picture viewer appear black.
When i click on them, wait 2 seconds, the pass is updated and correct.

So if i render lets say 200passes and dont click on the Multipasses to update them. Beauty pass will look ok.
All the other passes will stay black after saving.

So before saving, i will have to click each thumbnail to get the multipasses correct.

I did upate from windows 8.1 to 10 before installing v3. But that shouldnt matter, right?
Im using C4D 16.

anyone else having this problem?

cheers,
Nicolai

Hi Nicolai,

we did change the way multipass layers are updated during render in v3 - this is because copying all layers was causing some performance problems. So the part where layer is updated only when you click on it is expected (although we will try improve this in future so there won't be that 2 second delay and that layer preview will keep updating).

Of course, the problem that layers are not saved properly unless you click on each is a bug - we are already working on that, so it should be fixed in next hotfix.

Cheers,
Ales

Hi Beanzvision,

yes, its fixed.
Thumbnails still appear black. But when saving, every pass looks fine.
