hello!!!I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but I'll try... since, for vantage chaos, i'll have to change my graphics card, and since i haven't been able to try vantage at all, here's a very “basic” question: having a complex animation, with camera movements, and lights already defined in corona, does exporting to vantage restore the entire c4d-corona animation, camera, lights, and all? In short, does it “magically” add realtime rendering, or is it more complicated than that?

As noted in the blog post and other release materials, animations do not carry across to Vantage - with Corona 12 you can only build any animation inside Vantage itself, using Vantage's animation tools. That said you can achieve great results by animating in Vantage, though it is definitely more limited than what you can do in the DCC.

Future plans are that animations can be rendered using the Live Link once that is introduced - the first implementation of that should appear in our next release in November, but we can't say at the moment how far that will go in handling all forms of animation (will have to wait for a daily featuring it before we can start to say whether there are any limitations or not).

PS, best thing is to watch

which will show you what can and can't be done with Vantage, including how to animate within Vantage as there aren't many good tutorials for that so we went into a lot of detail on it ourselves on the Corona channel :)
