scene state don't update in timeline

Vantage Issues
1

Hi there
i’m using chaos vantage 2.01 with c4d scene vrscene export, since we can not render in live link
I do all the things in c4d (camera animation; objects; etc) but when I import and prepare the scene states for each camera, after dragging to animation editor the cameras don’t assume the scene state for each.
If I update each camera i loose the animation of the camera… is this a bug or i’m doing something wrong?
here is a video that explain
thanks

Hi Nuno,

Currently scene states change for cameras if they have a transition element between. If there isn’t a transition between the cameras, like in your case from the video, the last applied scene state will be used for the whole sequence. We will fix this in future builds but for the time being there is a workaround - add your cameras with small transition f.e. 5 frames, switch to Frames or Combined time display to better see how much frames the camera animations are, in the Render setup dialog switch to Custom frames and specify the ranges of each camera separated with a comma. This way the transitions will not be rendered:

Tell me if this works for you.

Hi Alexander
not working.. at least i’m doing your suggestion, but assumes the scene state of the first camera…
I can send you the scene. the scene states that i’m changing is the light for each camera. for first camera (light1) and second camera (light 2)
thanks
best regards

Hi Nuno,

Yes, please send the scene for me to test.

Best regards,

Hi @Alexander.Atanasov sorry for the late answer.
Meanwhile I’ve updated to 2.1 and now it works so I can not recreate the scene. but is solved :wink: just need to add a gap between the scenes as you told as a work around.
thanks
mean while can I ask if is there any plans to let c4d users render sequences trough live link?
thanks

Sequence rendering with C4D should come later this fall, with the next V-Ray feature update.

Currently we do not support changing the compression type. I’ve added this request to the backlog.
