Under stood, but this has to do with V14 also. A lot of times you want to stop the IPR cause you want to make a bunch of changes to materials and don't want it to refresh constantly. But your only option is to close or move region to hit stop button. Many times you still want VFB open for reference. The IPR reaching it limit and stopping isn't actually stopping IPR, cause any new move refreshes IPR. I'll make a topic somewhere else for this, sorry I didn't think I was going outside the preview builds since this was happening in V14 also.Another issue I would like to report which seems like a bug that has been in the past versions also. When you use IPR with regions, the stop IPR button is greyed out so you cannot put a stop to the IPR. But If you move or scale an edge of the region the stop button then appears so you can then click it.
Please let's keep the discussion in this thread only related to V14 previews.
What you are mentioning is because IR reaches the pass limit and stop rendering, unless you update scene/region/material etc.
That is great to hear Aram. Affect Shadowcatcher doesn't allow you to cast shadows onto the Splat. So say you put a new building into a splat scene, there is no way to drop the shadow of that building onto the splat.A couple of Issues with Gaussian splats.
1) I cannot find a way to exclude it from tone mapping. It would be great to be able to have a checkbox for this because it's impossible to get a true render of the gaussian splat while adding objects and lighting to a scene.
2) It would be great if we had an option to make the gaussian splat use a Shadow catcher material so we can use it to catch objects shadows or as a mask for compositing onto the original video.
Great job on everything so far guys! This is going to be a great update.
Exclude GS from tone mapping is already in the list of improvements. Not sure about assigning a material to it, it is fundamentally a different thing. I guess you have used affect shadowcatcher option, and it is not what you are looking for.
I recently ran into this with a grass patch model.Your right! Nice find. I could of sworn I tried the filtering. I'm surprised that this is default for Corona since it creates such an issue. I wonder if turning off the filtering will create issues with animation?
Make sure to disable map filtering for the diffuse bitmap. It's likely caused by a black background in that map where pixels get filtered to a darker tone progressively with increasing distance. It's best to disable filtering on all maps used on fine details anyway as it can be too aggressive.
It is actually not so hard.Hi Aram, Yes you are correct, I just opened the scene which is large, over 2.7GB compressed. It has multiple floors in one shot and the camera is under the object looking at top down. Thanks for that, I'll keep it in mind. It just sucks that you will not find this issue till you render out an animation. out of 240 Frames of one shot, maybe 15 frames have this issue, and not all in a row. It wasn't util frame 105 that this started. But since fixing the issue changed the lighting slightly I had to rerender the entire shot again.
On the frame where the issue appears, check camera position, check the objects above it from top view.
Almost always the problematic objects are above the camera. Select them, then "Get from selected" in material editor. This way you filter out just a few material and objects to check.
