Trouble Rendering Fire - Page 2

nicnic · September 8th, 2008

can you not do it in scanline and comp it in?

Got it! It was the Photographic E.C. preventing the fire effect from rendering.

This really throws a monkey wrench into things for me. I've been rendering sequences for an animation for the past two weeks - with Photographic E.C. And now as I'm about to round out the production work with my two sequences of the lounge (with fireplace), I discover that Photographic E.C. won't let me do fire. So now I've got to either try and massage a lighting solution in Automatic E.C that blends flawlessly with the P.E.C. solution, or just forget about the fire in the fireplace all together.

The post-production option of After Effects'ing' in some fire later is out because I niether own or know how to use After Effects.

Well...I really need that fire to help sell these two sequences. So I guess it's back down to the 'lab' to craft an Automatic E.C. solution commensurate to the Photographic one - YEAH RIGHT! Good luck, self.

Sounds suspiciously like the exposure control is
still affecting the scene?

Hi Michael,

Try setting up the physical scale in the Exp control.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Your problem is exposure.
