Livelink Anima & Sky problem

[luckett_jason@hotmail.com]

Hi guys,

Anyone else getting livelink anima problems? So I render an animation which then has a lot of noise in some frames, I go back to those frames to rerender and I also notice that the key frames change from anima axyz isn't getting picked up (so the people like they have stopped briefly), I have about 150 characters and I'm thinking Vantage is getting confused. I am thinking it starts to render before realising that the anima people have moved. Also as a nice little bonus the sky clouds seem to jump a frame.

What I think is happening is Vantage has some maximum internal clock which it reaches before it sends the frame (whether fully updated or not).

Thanks as always,

Jason

Hi,

I have a problem with Anima, and people don't show up at all in livelink, they show up if I export the scene but without animation.

Did you do something with the animation keys? (baked them or something else..)

(max 2024.1, vray 61008, vantage 2.0.1., anima 5.1.1)

The people who usually handle Anima on our team are not available this week, so it will take a while before we look into this.

For some types of anima characters, you must enable "Use render state in IPR".
Do you have it enabled in your case ?

Vladimir, thanks, that helped, but imported scene animation slot is still empty.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean, can you show a screenshot/video ?
Did you export the vrscene with "export animation" enabled ?
The deformation part of the animation will show up only in a "high quality render" (for performance reasons).

Yes, my bad, I exported as static vrscene and didn't realize there was a second option.

Thanks again Vladimir.
