Problem with high-res images continues

Have a look at the differences between 2 imgs.
Same scene, different resolution.
it goes wrong with both: arctic and rendered views.



Upper: scren res
Bottom: high res

So this problem applies also to the wireframe (some faces are in ghosted mode):


High res washes out all colours.

Hi @Piotr,

I created a scene with two boxes, one of the red and another blue. I switched to rendered mode and did a ViewCaptureToFile at a resolution of 4200x2720. The colors look as they should on the output.

Could you give me more information on how to reproduce this? If possible, please send me the model.

Hi David

it happens on a two different files I have worked recently.
Check this one as it is smaller.
survey vs patch.3dm.zip (5.3 MB)
Good luck.

PS I don’t know how to reproduce it except saving large image :slight_smile:

@Piotr,

I am still not able to reproduce the bug using your file. Are you using ViewCaptureToFile? If so, what settings are you using in the dialog?

Here’s mine:

And here’s the result:

It’s weird indeed. I am using View Capture but without screen dialog (command bar only).
Is there anything I could check / do for you?

Please paste the text in Help -> System Information...

There you go. Bootcamp and stuff.

We just tried to reproduce it on a Macbook pro with a Radeon Pro 555 running Windows on Bootcamp. It works fine here.

Have you made any changes to line thicknesses? Your line colors look thicker and more pronounced on your normal-resolution captures compared to my captures.

Yes, i have used modified Wireframe with extra line thickness, but this problem exist whether there are lines, surfaces or hatches. it wipes colour from all instances.

@stevebaer Do you know what might be going on here?

Also, flat shading (for meshes) doesn’t work in some modes, at least here. I am talking about meshes imported from Max via obj format with messed normals (unify mesh normals doesn’t help).

Just to make absolutely sure, can you try ViewCapture with the dialog and the settings that David is testing? I want to make sure we are performing the exact same tests.
Thanks

Steve
That made the trick. I had my shortcuts imported from RH5 and, apparently, the shortcut for ViewCapture was invoking the test command (with dash).
It works as it should, test images attached:


Upper one: screen resolution
Lower one: high resolution
Thanks for help
P

That’s good news. What were you exactly calling in the dashed version that was causing the bug? I would like to still figure out how to repeat this so I can create a bug report.

-ViewCaptureToFile
or something like that. Exact command but with the dash-ed prefix
