Slicer mtl dont cap plane anymore?

[sparkeyes]

In Corona 15 Hotfix 2,
have you noticed any difference in the behaviour of the CoronaSlicerMtl material?
It seems that the ‘cap sliced geometry’ option no longer works on a flat object,
whereas it did work in Corona 13.

What has been your experience?

Can you post some before/after examples? I can’t wrap my head around the concept of using slicer on a flat object.

The difference became apparent when we recalculated a scene created in Max 2024+Coro 13
in Max 2026+Coro 15HF2:
the Slicer material no longer filled the hole created by the Slicer object.

simple exemple:

flat = not a “closed volume”

Thanks, it makes sense now! Unfortunately, I can’t get it working in Corona 13 or 13 HF2. If you have a sample scene, please share it.

Hi,

Are you sure the gaps were actually capped in “before”.
From “before” POV, you might have been simply seeing the backside of the polygon, not an actual geometry by slicer cap.
