bug with camera : automatic vertical

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hello, There still have a bug with CoronaCamera,

Once you have set your camera, applied “automatic vertical” very often it changes itself … as on example, a new camera created, I apply “automatic vertical”, the camera reacts anyhow, impossible to the to regulate, to force to use a physical camera.
thank you

Which exact version of Corona are you using?
Can you send us any scene where this is happening?

This is the 1.7 hotfix2 version..
it happens in any scene…
do you need the scene in archive format? or in.max? this scene I’m working on is heavy..

Just an empty scene with the camera which behaves this way should be enough. So I bet it should not be more than 10GB which our uploader accepts. :wink:

BTW for the video, it uses Adobe Flash, which many computers (including mine) no longer have installed any more as support was removed from browsers due to security concerns. Could be good to use another format to ensure everyone can take a look.

There was an issue with “wandering” cameras but that was fixed in hotfix 2 (just to be sure on that, did you check it is hotfix 2 that is installed? Also, would be interested from a testing point of view on whether this happens with dailies)

Hello TomG,
I’m using Jing for my screenshots, I am not responsible for their site.

BTW, I have a problem, my file does not want to download on your site.
I send it to you by wetransfer.
Regards

For screen capture, the free OBS (open broadcaster studio) is great and saves as mp4, which can be uploaded for sharing :smiley: Would be a problem if a video showing a bug could not be viewed by the developers for example, if something like Flash was used.

I am not sure what you mean about download to the site - do you mean upload to the forum, or upload via our private uploader (at https://corona-renderer.com/upload)?

Thanks!
Tom

  • It would have been enough to do a save as → save selected with the camera to a new scene to see the effect
  • Your camera has a scale factor of 10000,0 for some reason. Resetting it to 100 (%) resolves the auto vertical shift issue
  • Your scene contains exactly 1395 animation layers which can cause serious troubles. Filesize went from 815MB down to 334MB after purging them :slight_smile:

I would advise to use this script:

https://forum.corona-renderer.com/ HELP - file size problem #msg106638

Almost every scene I open from someone else is infected with animation layers. Merging another “infected” file will increase the count every time and they can be found in many assets from various sources - even “reliable” ones.

Good Luck

Hello Frood,
thank you very much for your help and for your tricks…!!

I’ got a serious probrel with scale…, I don’t know where from.

at the beginning of the work of this scene the scale was good …
as I still learn to use 3DS (it’s only been a few months I started) I do not master everything.
I discovered the use of “grid” I tested some settings, maybe this is the cause …
in the end, as long as I import an element into my scene, it is found on a huge scale …!!!

I will look at what you notify me attentively.

thanks again.

Hmm, you mean when merging something? Maybe check the following:

Customize → Units setup… → System Unit Setup → Checkbox “Respect System Units in Files”, it should be active. But I think this is the default anyway, so it’s only a guess.

Good Luck
