I’m doing a sim based on the submarine. But the camera starts under the surface and ends up way above. However, the suface looks horrible from underneath. The facetting of the ocean mesh is horrible but as soon as I’m above it looks pretty much perfect. Is there a fix to this? [svall.RGB_color.00…

i suppose the dome camera is just expensive, compare the traced ray count shown in the vray log window

[image] Tool to convert opacity mapped faces into geometry leaves i suppose the dome camera is just expensive, compare the traced ray count shown in the vray log window More likely it’s the large FOV of the camera (180 or 360 degrees). Other than that it’s not more expensive than a regular cam…

I made a low res sim to test how the camera hadles the surface. And I get some (for me) unexpected result. Is that the Ocean camera window that I see as a green tint bulging square in the beginning and also clips the ocean when above the surface?

the mesher can’t handle FOV 180 degrees, the green border is because the “underwater glasses” of the camera must be infinitely large if the fov is 180 degrees

Ok, I get it. Disable fog and fix the ocean in post with a separate renderpass of a ocean surface. Is there a way to calculate the amount of RAM I need to render a specific sim?

Is there a way to calculate the amount of RAM I need to render a specific sim? Only the RAM required for the simulation. The final render memory consumption depends on too many factors.

in the most cases the rendering require ram less than the one used in the simulation, because of this we didn’t provide ram predictor. however, there are few cases when you can overload the memory - the geometry volumetric mode produces so-called “fragments”, this is renderer’s internal informa…

Thanks Ivaylo, I’ll just have to keep an eye on my memory management. I’m now creating a sim of a dishwasher. But the only way I can effect the preassure that the water is ejected with is “discharge” I was assuming that “velocity” in the source was supposed to do that? I’m using this nightly buil…

the velocity value of the source have another function, it is related to the velocity of the object that produces the liquid, actually it is multiplier, not velocity directly. the discharge parameter controls how many liquid is produced, but the liquid amount is directly related to the liquid veloc…

Hello! Yes, the explicit mapping seems to be broken, we received a report simultaneously from another user as well. I’ll post here when we have progress on this
