Scene render problem - tglinskas - 08-02-2008 I rendered a scene in AB 3.2c and everything looked great. I then upgraded to AB 4.0 and now have a rendering issue. I'll include an image to show what's going on. As you will notice, the smoke trails are patchy and when rendered in 3.2c they were smooth and billowy. Re: Scene render problem - joescarr - 08-02-2008 I usually expect some differences with new versions... but maybe you could post the 3.2 and 4.0 files? Re: Scene render problem - tglinskas - 08-02-2008 I tried to upload the file but it didn't seem to work. I got the dialogue box saying it's being uploaded, but no file seems to appear attached to the post. How else can I add the file? Re: Scene render problem - joescarr - 08-02-2008 let's try SendSpace: http://sendspace.com/ Re: Scene render problem - sitnisati - 08-04-2008 Hello, You can send scene to mailto:kresimir@afterworks.com and I'll take a look. Regards, Kresimir Re: Scene render problem - joescarr - 08-04-2008 thanks, Kresimir, we had a lot of xref geometry and it seems to work better without them... will test more and send it if still having problems... thanks! Re: Scene render problem - tglinskas - 08-04-2008 Thanks, Kresimir. I emailed the file and rendered frame to you. Hopefully you'll find a solution soon. Re: Scene render problem - sitnisati - 08-07-2008 Hello, I got the scene and after reviewing AfterBurn parameters, I have noticed that Step Size was bigger than birth Sphere Radius. If you set step size at least 1/3 of the Sphere radius, problem will be solved. It is a common practice to have at least 20 steps through the volume to get the best effect. Regards, Kresimir Re: Scene render problem - tglinskas - 08-16-2008 Thanks for the tip! I'll change the parameters and see how things look.
