HDR light in Vantage resets when "Render animation with Chaos Vantage" from 3ds max

[chromaloma]

Hi!

Some weeks ago I rendered a rather huge scene with Vantage, using "Render animation with Chaos Vantage" button, with no issues.
When I first initiated live link then, I had to adjust the Vantage hdr rotation and intensity, but then it rendered with that exact same settings when clicking that mentioned button in Vantage toolbar in 3ds max.

But now, I'm trying the same thing, and the light just resets to intensity 1 and an init rotation when I hit the render button.
I need to render this way because I use Anima, which relies on deformable meshes.

Help! Why is this happening now and not then? Any ideas? Is this designed functionality?

Maybe you stopped the live link before initiating the animation render ?
If you stop the live link and reestablish it, the scene will be reloaded in Vantage and you lose the changes you made.

Thanks for response. I didn't alter the live link connection, at least not that I am aware of. My steps:

1. Open file in 3dsmax
2. 3dsmax: Press live link button in Vantage toolbar
3. Vantage: Turn off lights (uncheck), since there is some unneedeed bright stuff going on there
4. Vantage: Change rotation and intensity in the hdr section
5. 3dsmax: Render animation with chaos vantage

This makes all light setup to reset, also the post effect toggle as far as I have tested. The same step procedure did not cause trouble a couple of weeks ago, except for that I perhaps didn't have to uncheck lights, perhaps that is some hidden light shit, but it still shouldn't reset all parameters when trying to render from max?

If real-time link is enabled
It is recommended that you operate the brightness of the light and the intensity and direction of the HDR
Keep operating in 3dsmax.
