CoronaCameraMod to affect VFB in realtime

[atelieryork]

I have a request:

When you use a CoronaCameraModifier all your Exposure etc. settings in the VFB are disabled. But when you tweak these settings in the camera mod they don't update in the VFB until you hit render then immediately cancel. It then refreshes the VFB with the new exposure/wb etc. I would hope this could be made "realtime" so you can tweak and the VFB automatically updates. Or at the least by hitting the Refresh button.

Thanks,

edit Ondra: also IR should not restart when the value is updated

Currently if you need photographic controls, you can tweak them in real time in render setup > scene if you are not using CameraMod. Generally CameraMod was intended for special cases like rendering an animation from different cameras in one scene, or if you need to animate the photographic controls.

Thanks Maru.

Well I don't think my current scenario is particularly unusual. I have a large hotel model with several cameras set up for each view. So for example cam_bar_option_1/2/3/4/5, cam_restaurant_option_1/2/3/4/5 etc. I like being able to control the WB/Exposure and Aperture/DOF for each camera within the same scene. I do this sort of thing all the time. Some of them need DOF, some not, some with different exposures etc. Currently there's no visual feedback in the VFB when I make changes this way, without re-rendering.

The functionality seems to be there already, but only when you do the initial "pre-render" thing when you hit render. Would it not be possible to make this happen without having to hit render?

Ok, I understand. This will probably get reworked as I think it would work like this in some older versions.
