View Full Version : Is this a known Mograph bug

I am using MoGraph in Cinema 9.603 and came across this weirdness. I set up my Mograph object and have applied a step effector, random effector, and Delay effector. When I render the viewport nothing appears just a black screen. However if I turn off "use render LOD for editor rendering" in the display menu the object appears.

I am on 2.0ghz Dual G5 Mac running OSX 10.4.7 6gb Ram

I beieve it's intended behavior. LOD affects the number of clones displayed.

you can use a display tag to over ride this.

I wouldn't render anything in the viewport. Several MoGraph tools such as the Delay Effector do not refresh properly and the result may be skewed - you may think your scene is perfect, but the final render could differ drastically.

true that... this module has alot of potential, and hopefully developement will continue at a steady pace.

thanks for the replys guys. I usually put a delay effector on last as a final touch so it is something that can be turned on and off if you want the scene to update ok. Also since it's animation I guess if you have a fast enough machine you can edit while the animation is playing back. Depends on the scene though.
