Hi, I am trying to do a fly through animation of a model in Arctic mode. For some reason, when I preview the animation, the viewport turns horribly different than the classic Arctic view. As if all shadows were gone and the definition was downgraded to none. Why is this happening? [arctic animati…

I think shadows are also missing in RenderedViewport animation.

Hello - try this: Get a view that looks correct in Arctic and then dolly the camera forward into the scene - you will see as you get in closer the shadowing starts to disappear - I guess this is a characteristic of screen based shadowing. [image] [image] [image] Your path sends the camera in r…

Hi, I believe that is not correct, at least that is not the case on my side. I got really close here, and the result is still dramatically different than the animation. [Untitled] Compare these two if not: Animation: [arctic animation] Viewport: [Untitled3] There is something clearly wron…

Can’t we just make the animation recording run a little slower so that it captures the shadows? Maybe a custom script that just places the camera into the points of the path curve and captures a screenshot to file? Should be pretty straight forward. I am sure the function must already be written so…

Your are correct- itis not just the location - it seems to be related to the distance of the camera to target relative to the distance to the objects… and, if you watch the camera widget travel along the path, it is the smaller kind… [image] [image] [image] -Pascal

Thanks for looking up on it in detail. What is the course of action here? Wait for the next release?

No course of action known, other than to get with the developers and see if there is one; my guess of the moment is, the ambient occlusion is probably not going to be changed first, I suspect the more practical approach would be to see what we can do to modify the frustum of the camera that tracks o…

I will try with a grasshopper script, thanks for wasting my time.

[image] ShynnSup: thanks for wasting my time Oh man, really??? Not a very nice thing to say to folks who actually spent time trying to help solve your problem here, and not encouraging for others to help you out… Yeah, times may be stressful now but let’s keep it civil over here please. Look…

Hi, thanks. I tried it and I am not sure it is working. It did run once, without entering a custom target distance, but not al frames got printed, it looks like it printed just 5 and then repeated. If a custom distance is entered I get this error: [Untitled2] But don’t worry. I made it work with…
