Render with Vantage UI

[philip_nel]

Hi there, this is probably a noob question:

I can't get the "...use Vantage UI" to work when working in 3dsMax 2023.

Scene opens up in Vantage 1.8.4 but there's no dialog window to initiate render - am I missing something?
Also, what is the difference between the 2 methods, why would you choose one instead of the other?

Thanks.

Hi philip_nel,

Sometimes when you do not have Vantage running and you initiate 'Render animation with Chaos Vantage, using Vantage UI' - you need to additionally click on the button again so that the menu appears. We thought we already fixed it in 1.8.4 but we will look into in again. Additionally if have Live link running beforehand you will need to press the 'Render animation with Chaos Vantage, using Vantage UI' button once and everything would work fine. Can you please confirm the issue resolves when you are in Live link and if you pressed the button twice?
The main difference between the 'Render animation with Chaos Vantage' and 'Render animation with Chaos Vantage, using Vantage UI' is that you can select from which camera the animation is to be rendered(currently there is a bug with 'Render animation with Chaos Vantage,using Vantage UI' that doesn't set the correct frame ranges).

Best regards,
Alexander
