We are using 5.01.
No, it works in some situations... but you have to be very aware of
the limitations (which isn't very well documented I heard). Like,
problems with clusters, problems with 2ndary or primary rays turned
off somewhere in the pass, reflection, refraction and so on. We have
been using RSMB for FxTree (very fast) or AFX and XSI MB (sans
Rasterizer, for rotating things and so on) a lot lately and it works
quite fine.
Stu spends most of his days rendering Lambert spheres... I guess thats
why it works out for him. ;-)
Cheers,
Axel

It woks for you ? I'm interested as it looks completely broken to me.
You use 5.01 or 5.(secret) ?

Do you have the Rasterizer (a.k.a The Root of all Evil) on?

isnt there a known bug in 5 with objects randomly disappearing
with motion blur?

Nope, geometry definitely not intersecting and renders fine
now that I've re-jigged the textures to avoid cluster
materials. Reckon I'll CAB the dodgy scene to Softimage.
(expensive fare – ho! ho!)
I'll bear in mind the close faces thing, Kim. Thanks guys : )

are you rendering both front and back faces? possibly the back
faces are coming through and obscuring the front.
close together faces, apart from giving problems with depth
sorting, can hammer render times I've found in the past.

Hi folks,
I'm animating pages of a book (using IK chains) and so
need to check 'Deformation Motion blur". Only trouble is
that the cluster material on the B side of the pages goes
black - huh ?!?!
I can workaround this by making a texture for A and B
sides in one image and redoing texture projections, but
wondered if anyone else has found this? is there a fix? Or
is it just another case of avoid cluster materials at all
costs!
Cheers,
Olly xxx
