  • VRayEnvironmentFog Gizmo Loses Animation on Cloud Upload

    I have a scene with VRayEnvironmentFog attached to an animated gizmo that follows my camera. Everything works fine inside 3dsMax and I uploaded a test frame to the cloud to make sure everything showed up correctly and it did. Of course, when I uploaded the whole animation for rendering at full quality, the fog gizmo did not animate, which resulted in the fog density being incorrect across all the frames.

    I double-checked the docs on both VRayEnvironmentFog as well as the supported features for the cloud and I couldn't find any information on this.

    I'm happy to send my scene file if you need it, but this issue cost me 20 credits. This is also the second time I've run into an issue like this where the test render looked fine, but the production render had issues. Trying to make things work with Chaos Cloud has been an extremely frustrating (and expensive) experience...

    Here is what my test frame looked like when rendered on the cloud (which matches 3dsMax):

    And this is what it looked like in the production render:

    Hi chuck_mcmackin,

    Indeed the VRayEnvironmentFog is supported by Chaos Cloud rendering in 3ds Max. However, a known issue to our development is that the VrayEnvironmentFog with loaded animated atmospheric gizmo is not exported to .vrscene and rendered with V-Ray Standalone and Chaos Cloud. It's reported to our internal bug tracking system as reference ID: VMAX-7793.

    You mentioned another issue that you had while using Chaos Cloud. Can you give us more information about it to further investigate? Please share more details here in this thread or on your ticket #4977.
