Vantage live link only parially working (list)

[Stefan-L]

HI,

that live link is added with animation si great.

i installed v13 but i cant get live link to fully work for now:

1) camera is wrong, it ignores the x,y shift in c4d cam settings(essential for archviz)
2) hdri BG sky missing(i use a sky +hdri mix
3) luts etc are not transferred
4) many materials are missing, not sure why(bitmap textures), it seems mostly if we use the "mix" slider in the materials texture slot, also a very important feature used all time in arch.

5) it is terribly slow, i almost cant move any thing, not in c4d or in vantage once live link is on.
i have a 4090, on other software the same scene is super fast once exported. the scene itself works fine in c4d only(not vantage live link)

when i find more issues i post here

i cannot get displacement to work, any idea?

is there AO working - similar as dirt does in vray connection?

Hi,

1) camera is wrong, it ignores the x,y shift in c4d cam settings(essential for archviz)

This is now reported (Report ID=CC4D-1036). Hopefully we can get support for it soon.

2) hdri BG sky missing(i use a sky +hdri mix

It seems to be working fine here. Could you please drop a sample scene at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

3) luts etc are not transferred

There are some known limitations to post-processing/tonemapping. Hopefully some improvements are possible.

4) many materials are missing, not sure why(bitmap textures), it seems mostly if we use the "mix" slider in the materials texture slot, also a very important feature used all time in arch.

I couldn't reproduce it. Can you also send us an example of this at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

5) it is terribly slow, i almost cant move any thing, not in c4d or in vantage once live link is on.

I guess it depends on the scene, but it shouldn't make things terribly slow. If you have a sample scene, please also upload it in a support ticket.

This worked fine in my test. Did you use a bitmap or a procedural shader?

is there AO working - similar as dirt does in vray connection?

Looks like Corona AO isn't supported at this time. I have reported it as (Report ID=CMAX-1720).

Keep 'em comin!
