Ocean Mesh and PhoenixFDOceanTex

[rporter8555]

Greetings,

Testing latest nightly build 1606266837 with Max 2017 and Vray 3.40.02.
It looks like the edge of the Ocean Mesh is very close to the edge of the camera frame. On occasion the Ocean Mesh edge is just short of the frame and background is made visible.
Then add PhoenixFDOceanTex, and the edge of the mesh is pulled into the frame. How far it is pulled in seems to be related to the wave height at that particular time.
See attached pictures.
Is there a way I can increase the amount of the Ocean Mesh overlap to keep this from happening?
I saw the same thing on previous nightlies and tried testing the newest version before posting this issue.

Thanks!

can you test the same scene with old build? there is a system that tests the displacement shift and produces verices outside the frustum until there are no holes. it's possible that the system is broken, or your scene may be hitting a special case that is not covered.
if the first one is the case, the old builds should have no hole

It would actually be best if you could send the scene to support so we can investigate the issue.

Is that a Physical camera you use? If so, most likely it is the cause of the issue.

Here is a scene file and first rendered frame, where the ocean mesh is tearing into the frame a bit.
Hope this is helpful.

Edit: Noticed that after rendering a frame with Physical camera, the edges pulled into the frame even farther.

Thank you! Will check it and see what the problem is.

Alright, so the issue is new - you could workaround it by reverting to a build from Jun 23 or older until the fix is ready. Will keep you posted.

Cheers!

Thank you for the rapid reply! I will do that.
You guys are the best.
