Dear team
Here follow my suggestions:
1.In archviz it is often that we set up a nice camera to show our project and then compose the image with objects ,like people , trees , vegetation , furniture.....when you place objects from cosmos in Vantage, while you keep your camera still rotate often is not very functional, it is hard to rotate more than 30 degrees. Plus it would be very helpful if the place tool could understand surfaces that are hidden because of perspective. Imagine you have a camera on ground floor and this camera faces a 5 store buidling with balconies. when you want to place a person on L3 balcony while being on the camera, it is not possible , so you need to move closer to the balcony drag adn drop from cosmos the person and click back to your camera. It would be very helpful for fast composition inside Vantage to be able to add things without having to leave the camera you are working.
2.Cosmos objects that you place in Vantage to be able to bring back to Max , like you can do for cameras and lights.
3. PLEASE bring back clone possibility. This will automatically make Vantage the best compoositing software!!!! Now it is extremely annoying when you compose things in Vantage to have to drag and drop again from cosmos. specially when you modify these objects.
4. make it possible in Vantage to select objects and group them ,so next time you want to move this group in order to compose your image to have the selection ready
5. when rendering animation sequence through live link , using max settings (which is the only working solution at the time, cuase through Vantage does not work, doe not animate frames) make it possible to render every second frame, every fourth frame. This is extremely useful , saves half the time if you later interpolate your final video using AI.
6. similar to comment 1. make it possible in vantage to have two viewports, one for compositing, editing and placing objects in the scene and one for the still camera where you check the composition. This will increase time tremendously.
7.Bring ANIMA 4D people possilbility to render through live link. This is the ONE thing missing to boost archviz films!!!!
8.Make it easy in 3ds max Live link to change HDRI, without the need to pick the dome light and then import the next HDRI from cosmos. Make it as easy as in Vantage.
9.Every time you export a scene from max to vantage , no matter if the max scene contains a sun make it possible in Vantage to be able to pick a sun and physical sky and easily manipulate its position through azimuth..... Make it a default and even better make it default animated... The most common thing for archviz is sun study.....
It makes no sense for us to have to replicate constantly this setting in every max scene. Maybe Cosmos can add a sun system....
10.make it possilbe in Vantage to easily add a plane ,sphere light. Very often you have an archviz scene exported to Vantage, and you would like to place some light in dark places, corners.
11.make it possilbe with a new Vantage button to export scene selected objects. and selected animations. Now you have to go through right click export vrscene selected , name it , select where to save....... very slow.
12.Bring space navigator functionality. Archviz and filming in general is all about camera movement. Space Navigatro mouse gives the most amazing results in camera movement and can improve the beauty of our shots significantly.
13.Add one tab to animation to keyframe sun position and fast animate ,as you do for cameras.
14. save render queue and setup in vantage file.
15.while live link make grab screenshot automatic ,without need to select where to save and without having to name it. like in Vantage
16.make it fast and easy to create shortcuts of vantage in desktop that use different GPU. I have two GPUs and the best way to take advantage of it in order to save time is to split my animation job in two parts and render one part with vantage using one gpu and the other part with vantage using second gpu. Make this process easier.
17.when I use live link and then stop using it I would like the vantage to be similar to what vantage would look like when you export to vantage from max.
18. when using live link and then in vantage you load scene as configuration only , this scene cannot load cosmos assets. If you fix this the following workflow will be possilbe. you setup the basic things using live link and at some point you export to vantage and you keep compositing in vantage.when you finish your composition in Vantage you save scene as . then next time you open live link iin max you can load previous scene as configuration only and all the extra things ,assets you added in Vantage will appear again. Now cosmos assets they fail to load.
19. One comment for the forum UI. If you can make it possible to paste screenshots. Often when we ask for help on the forums it is very intuitive to paste a screenshot from vray settings, vantage..... to explain our question. Now you need to attach image which is very slow.
20. in render setup of vantage make one click batch rendering option. with a click of a button to send to queue all vantage cameras. plus if you can save the queeu to vantage file this will be the perfect workflow for archviz still images. you work on the cameras, then you save all cameras , then when project is updated you just hit batch render all cameras with settings you had setup.
21.while in live link. when you chanage camera setting in vantage make the changes automatically in max. like vertical tilt correction, or dof or camera clipping. the same when you change settings of lights or intensity of dome light hdri. Usually when i run live link at some point i focus on Vantage window to compose my image. then it is very
intuitive to change camera settings and rotation and dome intensity until you find the right balance that you like. It is very annoying when i switch back to max viewport that you lose these camera settings (dof , automatic tilt. physical settings like white balance) for the dome orientation and intensity it is annoying that you lose these setting if you start and stop live link.
