Re: FXTree output to Render Tree

No 3.2.2 plugin here. Apparently we need to update !

Fusion start rendering fine and
suddenly the frames are black and render time really fast :-p. This is
annoying because we need to re-start at the first black frame until
next black rendered frame...

With Fusion 4 the problem already exist but not very often. Are you using  the 3.2.2 plugin with Fusion 5 ?

Guillaume,

 

I believe you might not have the latest version of the RSMB plugin for Fusion... 3.2.2, while XSI version is apparently 3.2.1 ;-)

AFAIK, it is truly DF/Fusion5 native. What crashes and bugs are you talking about?

Afx plugin compatibility is not always the perfect solution. For example, Real smart motion blur plugin work great in in the fxTree. The Digital Fusion version is far behind ( lot of crash, bugs...). I imagine the Fusion version emulate how it works in After fx and the XSI one is a "real" fxTree tool.

My 1/6
