Output Black randomly with Lens Effects - VRay 3.10.03

[Morne]

The issue is on the "to do" list.

Is it something easy that can be in the next nightly, or is it something big?

Is there maybe a temporary fix that we can get?

Hi Morne,

This bug seems to be more complicated than we thought and we will need more time to implement a fix for it. As soon as we have any news will post here.

I had an issue some months ago with lens effects whereby a value of 1.5 (for example) worked fine, but changing it to 1.54 (again, for example) the effects wouldn't show. Upping to 1.58 (for example...) and they'd re-appear.

I just get the feeling these effects are a bit temperamental so we don't use them much any more.

There are some fixes for the next SP, so hopefully it's better.

Best regards,

I'm on 3.20.02 and cant get the bloom to work. I've tried the Lens effect in the VFB

bloom on

Object ID and tried Material ID.

No Bloom effect on the Object ID or the Material ID. and the mask is on the entire image. Am I not doing it right? I'm trying to get the bloom effect on the ceiling light fixtures, they are light materials.

Hi,

Unfortunately we are still working on this and Mat. and Obj. ID are still not working with Lens Effects VFB.

and the mask is on the entire image.

It is due to the fact that V-Ray lens effects use the real color value (without exposure). You can see that in the Lens Effect Source element generated.
It is correct result with Mask Intensity set to 3 I think.

Any idea when a fix is coming? I Ithink trying to use it was also crashing max randomly.

Can't give you any time frame about this fix, but there are a lot of requests for it, so hope to be solved soon.

Then it should be disabled if it not working. I spent hours troubleshooting my scene just to know that it still broken and possibly was crashing max too.

Yes, this is an option too, but it is better to make it working

Then it should be enabled when it works again and not let users waist their time trying to get something to work that doesn't work in the first place.
