Spot Render Keeps Messing Up Size (DAZ 4.10 and 4.11 BETA)

DrowElfMorwen

Whatever DAZ is doing, I swear it's a glitch. Let's say I render a picture and I keep it "active viewport size"... now assuming I don't touch the viewport size AT ALL, as in it stays exactly the same, there is no reason for it to ever change. However, when I finish renders, and go to spot render areas where I made a mistake or it just needs to be processed more, *the size suddenly changes* and defeats the whole point of spot rendering. DAZ says my viewport is one size, yet when I open the render it's suddenly bigger than what DAZ is telling me my viewport is.

 

I also have had this problem even with pictures where I change the size. Let's say I render a 1200 x 800 picture, and then I need to spot render something... same problem. The area I spot rendered is "shruken". And this has gone on since DAZ 4.5... I can't be the only one experiencing this. Why is it not fixed?

Are you setting Spot Render to render to a new wndow in Tool Settings?

DrowElfMorwen

Yes I am... and it's still giving me this problem. The area spot rendered is actually subtly shruken... I can't tell it even happened until I go to put the spot rendered part over the original.

I always render to a fixed size (not active viewport) and I've never had that happen. Maybe it is a bug with active viewport that you could word around by specifying the render dimensions in the Render Settings pane. It sounds like you should submit a help request so they can see if you've found a nug.

Quick question, is this in 3DeLight, or IRAY rendering?

Also, are you using some custom camera settings?

This does not happen, for me, using IRAY rendering. Use a Difference filter to see that both are exactly the same output, except one is cropped to the preview area selected. (Tested using the default perspective-view, not a custom camera output.)

NOTE: Unless you are in IRAY preview mode, and rendering to IRAY... Any camera settings may alter the output, which will be unseen in GL-Preview mode. Such as deformation of the camera lens and some perspective angles. I assume some settings only exist in IRAY and not in the 3DeLight GL rendering output.
