Render Ocean Problem

[Melo34]

Hey guys

Attached are two frames from my animation frame 101 is fine and frame 102 is missing the Ocean.. And this happens frequent during animation renders.
I re simmed and downloaded latest Phoenix nightly to see if problem fixed but same result..


Any ideas ? thanks
Brad

when you turn the ocean mode on, there is a suggestion to use static geometry, do you accept it?

[Melo34]

Yes thanks always do .. I am re simming with latest version now .. I only rendered with latest.. maybe will help

[Ivaylo Katev]

no idea then, is it strongly reproducible or it happens randomly?

[Melo34]

I re simmed over night .. frame 102 renders ok .. but it has been random so I am rendering full animation to see what happens .. so let you know ..

Hey,

Would it be possible to send the Phoenix log after rendering the sequence with the missing frames? If you simplify the scene, does the problem still occur, or does it have to have everything in it?

Cheers!

Hey yeah it is a simple scene anyway only 20 gig sim file .. So when i reached frame 111 this time it happened again..
So i turned off mist, splashes foam etc .. and no difference.. But when i ran the render with a higher ocean level as you can see it appears ? Strange .

Thanks

Attached a screen shot .. ocean level is 20 ..


Update hours later.. because I am rendering all frames just to see what it looks like.. I have now come across 40 or so frames in a row with no ocean then went back to having ocean for several frames ..

how big is the cache file of frame 111? can you upload it (with the scene) somewhere?

[Melo34]

Attached is the Cache files.. you can see 111.. and also the other attach is no ocean from 121 until 154 in render..


I noticed i changed the scene scale to 3 .. would that give a problem ?
Thanks

30 MB is not a big size, if you have no storage, try to attach it in a mail

[Melo34]

Sorry I deleted the whole project starting again .. maybe was just corrupted ..
Thanks

Hey guys

Just let you know i reproduced the scene and still have the same problem..
I have sent the Vray Log to support email.
Should i also send scene file and cache ?
Thanks
Brad

Hooray! If you could attach the scene as well, it would be great - no need for the cache if it can be simulated with the scene - otherwise a single cache would be perfect.

Cheers!

[Melo34]

Ok just sent.. I did not attach the cache because will be interesting for you to sim and see if you get same result..
Thanks

Hey guys how did you go any problems with the render on your end ?
Thanks
