( resolved ) [ HOU-2199 ] animated rop values stop working with animated cameras

[LeoYfver]

if the camera has animation, animated parameters on the rop wil stop working.
For example animated dof paramaters or doing first middle last render with full resolution.

could this be looked at pretty soon? not life and death but would help alot

Hi LeoYfver me and my colleagues can't reproduce this behavior. Output resolutions are as expected.

linux centos 7
houdini 18.0.499
Build number:7940 hash:330065e


render frame 3 and change the camera to camera_anim, press render and it will render 1280x720 but should be half. delete expression and render again and resolution will be half

added a video which shows the issue

Reproduced and reported it, will notify you here once it is fixed.

[LeoYfver]

perfect, thanks!

[chakarov]

This one is fixed in last nightly build.

[LeoYfver]

great will try it out!

[LeoYfver]

tested this out and it works for resolution but not for min, max samples and threshold for example. is there a reason why not all parameter on the rop node can be animated or should i provide with a list of which ones i want?

posting again here to bring it up to relevance again would be really nice if this could be fixed

Because this is simply not supported by V-Ray itself.
Settings plugins parameters are not animated.
This will work only when exporting to separate files.

[LeoYfver]

understand. So to understand correctly min max sample and noise threshold wont work animated?

[LeoYfver]

basically want we want to achieve is to have first middle and last frame with hires settings. We try to achieve this by having a switch on the parameters on those frames
