lens shaders vanyshing

Post by gustavoeb » 10 May 2011, 04:16

lens shaders connected to the camera just vannish... while lens shaders connected to passes are ok.
it is not a disconection, but a complete deletion of the node.

"works" in both 2011 and 2012, anybody else gets that?

Sorry for the late reply...
I haven't been able to reproduce this myself,
but I can recall something similar being mentioned on the Mailing List once
(and to be more precise: here)

I think it has to do with the "general problem" surrounding disconnecting shaders, but that's just a wild guess...

If you select your camera & then go into RenderTree,
is the unattached lens shader there still, or has it vanished from there also?
If the lens shaders are still present, but unattached,
it should be relatively easy to write a reconnect script especially for the lens shaders,
which you could even run "automagically" on every load scene event...

in my case it is really not there, not only disconnected. this is happening in 2012 also, so I guess while it might be related to disconnected shaders it is not exactly the same bug, since that was supposed to be fixed in this latest version.

The operative word being "supposed", it could be that they missed something!
