slide on surface - instannces --> render error

Post by Helli » 28 Aug 2013, 10:33

Hi there

So I got a problem (once again with slide on surface, this compound seems to be bugged every 2nd xsi version) with slide on surface.

When I use particle instances together with slide on surface randomly my Instances pop up at 0/0/0 in full size instead of in the size set in the icetree.
Happens also with cached clouds. In the viewport everything is fine, only in the rendering it appears.

Okey further debugging ended up in the conclusion that there are points flying reaaaally far away which ends up in those big scale rendered instances.

SI guys let me know whom to send a scene to debug and the cache data (btw its set to Arnold renderer)

Is this reproducible with mental ray?

Sorry to answer that late.
Yep just tried it.

Mental Rays Rendering do not look like Arnolds actually, BUT the Bug is still there, just a different "Bug Result" in Arnold and MR so yes.
