VFB button "send to c4d" does not work in 2023.1

[TomG]

With this being the old VFB, it won't be high priority to address it, sorry - does it work as intended from the VFB 2?

Hello @John_Do,


Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
It seems to be working here (see attached image)
Could you please share a screenshot of the Corona Preferences with us? (C4D Preferences > Renderer > Corona)
With special attention to the "Advanced" section at the bottom.


On the other hand, Could you please enable the "Enable devel/debug mode" checkbox?
Additional checkboxes will be displayed under the above-mentioned checkbox.
Then make sure the "Show VFB render in PV" and the "Update PV image after rendering" checkboxes are enabled.
Lastly, disable the "Enable devel/debug mode" checkbox.
Try again and see if the issue persists.


One last thing, could you please try using the latest Daily Build and see if the issue persists?
Kind regards.

Hi Benjamin,

Here you go :



The commands you're mentioning were already enabled on my side, so it doesn't improve the situation.

To be clear the feature works fine most of the time, it's just a specific bug when rendering for the first time in the session without opening first the PV : the image doesn't show in the PV.
It's particularly annoying because of these two things :
- We can't save a multilayered EXR from the Corona VFB
- The bug happens with takes too, so as underlined before it can be really painful to get back to work in the morning only to find you're missing all your multipass layers.

Hello @John_Do,


Thanks for the additional info.
I can confirm that this is reproducible only for the first rendered image per host app's session. It has already been reported to the dev team for further investigation.
