3DSMax 2025 + Vantage 2.8.1 + Rainclone 7 Animation issue

[XU8497]

Hi everyone,

I have the following question, working with 3DS Max + Vantage and Railclone:

I have a railclone element, whose instances rotate on its axis incrementally, with an exported and animated parameter.

What happens is that when rendering in Vantage, if I export the scene to VRScene, the Railclone object loses its configuration and either I convert it into instances objects and it stops being animated, or it exports it with the geometry corrupted to Vantage, inside the VRScene.

Do you know how I could solve this issue, or if it turns out that Vantage does not currently support a Railclone object, animated by means of exported parameters?


Thanks everyone

Hi Eduardo,

I highly doubt that animated RailClone objects work when exported to a .vrscene. As far as I know the exporter collapses the RailClone object to static instances. Please not that Chaos are responsible for the implementation of RailClone suport in Vantage, so we have limited control beyond providing an API.

On the other hand though, we've run some quick tests here and both Live Link and Render animation from 3ds Max appears to works fine.

All the best,

Paul.
