(Fixed) [HOU-2476] Camera snaps back to origin

[hoi]

Just downloaded the trial of vray5 for houdini.
But first thing I notice is that when i have the vfb running. My camera snaps to the center more than once in a while.
As if the transforms are getting zero'd out.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks in adavanced.


edit: (Camera gives also an error: infinite recursion in evaluation)

Yes, it happens here as well and it drives me nuts!

Here too, both with v-ray 4 and 5.

This happens with Vray 5.0.50 just in case. Please fix this issue, thank you!

Haven't come across this one before.
Maybe because I only use FBX cameras.

Has to be with cameras that are not linked to external files, so fbc, abc, etc should no be an issue. With Houdini native cameras that you use to orbit around your model you get it.

Yep me too, very annoying.

Hi,

Gosho.Genchev and @bdancer,

We briefly talked about this last week and you guys mentioned that this should be better now, but just tested with today's build and the issue is still ongoing.



Best,
David.

Hmm, it seems it's far worse with "Export View Continuously" disabled in the viewport options. I've logged it for the devs to check. The fix was also for Solaris since the same issue was present there. We'll look again.

Best regards!

Hey all,

The issue should be resolved in the latest nightly builds.

Best regards!

Hey Gosho.Genchev,

Definitely not fixed.



V-Ray for Houdini number:12440 hash:557fae6 from 13 Mar 2021 02:57 (build number:12440)
V-Ray Core 4.30.03 [14fe1e94] from 12 Feb 2021

EDIT: This seems to work in the V-Ray 5 builds, so the problem only persists in Next.

Best,
David.
