Corona 13 + Vantage Animation

[Mkbart]

Hello, I'm trying to render an animation using Corona 13 and Vantage - the problem is i have no idea how to do that. Your annoucement video just shows the output, but there are no resources showing the process.

Tutorials and documentation to follow soon (those can't be started until everything is finalized in terms of functionality and UI). Basically though, hit the "Vantage anim. export" button in the System tab of the Render Settings dialog, Vantage will then open with a panel that lets you choose its render settings, and once ready hit Start.

For Vantage render settings, check the Vantage tutorials and documentation. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Tom. One last thing - how can I modify and adjust color corrections in this process?
When I press "Vantage Anim. Export" the output window shows up, blocking the access to any other adjustments. I'm happy to check the documentation but i'm not even sure where to start. VRay workflow seems to be different.

Hmm last I checked this was the same as V-Ray, can you let us know what is different there? https://docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Render+Animation+with+Chaos+Vantage

When I initiate a live link in VRay, I can adjust some Exposure, Filmic Tonemapping settings, create a temporary scene sub-state in Vantage. Then after I press "Render in Vantage" button - it keeps these settings, to my adjusted exposure settings are maintained.

In Corona I try to do the same, initiate the Live Link, adjust, create sub-state. Then I need to stop live link and press "Vantage Anim. Export" button as suggested. But after i adjust output settings, my previous exposure / tone-mapping vantage settings are reset, and i end up with overexposed output, with no way of controlling it.

Unless there's any other way?

Ah ok, so this is about starting Live Link separately to set things up, then moving on to hit the render animation. That is not currently supported, though we have had this noted to us before so it's on our radar. Thanks for the additional explanation!

Thanks, Tom!

PS - this apparently works in C4D already, but not in Max :)
