Sun Animation Shaded Full

[Des]

I've been unable to generate a sun animation using Shaded Full.

Renderzone version works fine, but I'd prefer to be able to use shaded full for speed of generation, I have to generate many different views with changes etc.

 

The Shaded full version is garbled in the animation, but looks fine on screen and exports still images ok (a bit slow imo, about 1min but livable).

Hi Des,

 

This is working properly for us.  Which operating system & version of formZ are you using, and what video card do you have?

 

If you get a new file, draw a cube on a plane, and test with that, do you have the problem there too?

 

If the cube and the plane works but another file does not, can you also send that file so we can test with this here?

Thanks for your reply Tech,

I just tried drawing a cube on a plane in a new file, but unfortunately I'm just getting the same kind of garbled frames.

The spec of my machine is;

 

iMac 27"

OSX 10.9.5, 3.4GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 ram

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB graphics

 

Do you still want me to prepare the main project file for testing?

 

Thanks,

 

Des

Hi Des,

 

We have run some more tests and are still not reproducing this.  Can you please send the little file with the 2 cubes so we can test with that?

Hi Des,

 

Two other things you may want to check on your end -- does unchecking the 2X Multi-Sampling option affect this for you?

 

And if not, if you uncheck all other options except for Shadows -- and she the Shadow Map Size to Large, does that affect it for you?
