Focal Length bug

Hi there

bug experienced in rendering a scene with a camera that has Focal Lenght (C4D camera) of value "9".
No value below "10" is actually working for some reason. Tried many walkarounds (e.g keyframing 9 each frame of the project),
but seems like the only frame that renders fine is the first, all the other frames queued they snap back to a different Focal automatically
(only in Octane Live Viewer and in render, in c4d Viewport is just fine).

Me and a colleague have experienced a bug on different PC versions of Cinema4D and plugin
(my versions are written below, my mate's were C4D R20, Octane 2019).

Any tips on this issue?

I just did a quickie test, and see similar results. I'm guessing it's the other end of this issue:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=73958&p=377807#p377807

So apparently Octane has a 10-1200 Focal Length range limit. Based on the previous thread, it's an SDK problem, not a Plugin problem.

Yes, it seems like limited in 10-1200. It can be seen from octanerender interface. So this is not a bug, limitation.

Thanks Aoktar,

its a pretty problematic limitation for the type of work I have to do - is there any possible walk-around for this issue?

Thanks,

Hi,
the issue should have been fixed in 2020.1-RC2 SDK, could you try with that version, and report back?

  • Fixed slider and value bounds on the "fov" and "focal length" camera nodes.

Worked just fine for me in 2020.1 RC2.
Downloaded the example file frankmci posted and it rendered correctly.
