dynaman Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 has anyone ever run into this problem before?? i add perspective correction to my animated camera. at first it will render fine. but at some point along the way, max somehow ignores / forgets the camera correction and the frames no longer render correctly. i have had this problem on a number of projects and the only way i have been able to fix it is to delete the correction modifier, and apply a new one, going through the animation settings all over again. in the end we have always had to abandon the camera correction in animation because it is too risky when it gets close to a deadline - you can't have max "forgetting" it halfway through your frames. i don't suppose anyone has discovered some other work around?

Tim Nelson Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ahhhhhhhhhh, yes. Happened to me too. And you know what I discovered after rendering and re-rendering and rendering some more? If you have your cameras hidden thats when Max decides to toss your camera correction out the window. So when you send your jobs to render, make sure the cameras are unhidden and hopefully that will clear up the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITryMyBest Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 make sure you are animating the camera correction also. when you first apply camera correction it is only applied to that frame. since the camera is animated, you may need to add new keys for the correction modifier as well.
