vray lens flares problem

[werticus]

the intensity mask seems to work if you have the image clamped or perhaps it is sub pixel mapping or perhaps it is the type of color mapping i am using on this job.

[AlexP]

The intensity value corresponds to the "lens effect source" render element I believe.

Tested on another scene, bloom and glare work with DR. But only bloom works with backburner (and no DR).

A black glare mask file is actually saved out too.

[AlexP]

They don't always work with DR.
Ive not been able to find out what thing in the scene causes this to happen.

[werticus]

Okay finally tried the work around and it did not fix it - the slave on backburner still only rendered out the bloom not the glare.

Ok, will look into it. Definitely something weird going on.

Best regards,

Let me chime in on this one. The intensity parameter for the masks don't do anything.
When I enable the intensity, the glare and bloom is gone. The corresponding render elements are blank.

I get that with some scenes kosso and not with others. I think it might have to do with the color mapping you've chosen. Seems to work with linear multiply.

As a work around I am currently rendering with multiple copies of max open but not using the 'local host' in the DR settings. thus the image comes back to the main machine and gets applied correctly.

Need a lot of ram to do this of course the open scenes use full ram.

Would it be possible to send us the scene so we could run some tests? Also did you use BB or DR?

Interesting.. Attempting to render an animation via BB with a baked IR and LC map. Some of the frames have gloom and some have glare too. And the first 3 frames have neither.

We are currently working on this issue and hope to have it fixed very soon.

[werticus]

looking forward to that!

We managed to fix the lens glare issue when render through BB for the next service pack.

thanks! would it be included on the nightlies?

Yes, it will be added to the nightly (stable) builds soon.
