hi and congratulations to/for the community
i wonder if anyone else has encountered this bug or if it’s an installation problem
when i change the bpr shadow settings (let’s say i change the angle) and naturally click bpr render to evaluate the result, i get a bpr render, so far so good
but, if i keep tweaking the shadow setting and naturally keep asking for additional bpr renders to evaluate the change, then various problems arise
after a while, the first bpr render after each settings’ change, is missing shadows
i confirmed this by inspecting the render passes panel which clearly shows the shadow pass is not being generated at all on the first render after a shadow settings’ change
for this, i click for a second bpr render in a row (no settings’ changes), and i get a correct render, with shadows
that’s annoying but not an absolute disaster, i just click the bpr render button again
the bigger problem is that later on, still tweaking/bpr rendering, and while i still have to ask for a second bpr render in order to get shadows, the second bpr render is sometimes based on older bpr shadow settings (not the ones i just changed)
you can imagine that this is problem because sometimes i don’t know if im looking at the correct render since i may have changed a setting that i don’t know how it should render
if i could guess, i would say the behaviour seems to be linked with zbrush’s attempt to ‘cash’ render settings, ie to keep unchanged settings for the new renders in order to save time, and that it seems to be a bug somewhere in there
has anyone else had this?
thanks
