OTOY Forums

When I have built a scene in Daz Studio and open the Octane Render tab things are fine. When I open the viewport my mouse curser disappears. I can move the mouse away from the window and it will show up but if I move back into the window of the Daz scene or OR it goes away. I can move the invisible curser around and things will highlight I just can't see the curser.

I am running Windows 7 in Bootcamp on a 2012 Macbook Pro with a Kepler 650M.

Ive seen the same behavior on Windows 7 64b.

pretty strange behavior. i searched the net, and apparently Qt (= daz studio = plugin framework) suffers from a similar bug in their own code editor application (mostly on mac, but for a few ppl also on windows). i only found a few things to try, that might bring the cursor back:
- press ESC (after it gets hidden)
- right click somewhere
- ALT-TAB forth and back (however you do this on a mac keyboard )

apart from that someone wrote that switching to another mouse cursor theme helped.

i don't think i can do much in the plugin code about that problem; apart from all standard stuff, there is only one a bit special function, when the viewport gets opened, that might trigger this - but it's the only way to have the render viewport staying on top of DS; otherwise it would go under the DS window (or any other pane in there), as soon as you click somewhere else.

i'll try to explicitly set a default mouse cursor shortly after the viewport was opened, maybe this helps...

Thanks I will give all of your suggestions a try. Appreciate the response and all the hard work that has gone into the software. No complaints!

no problem - a disappearing mouse cursor is not something quite easy to take or to take away also (what means in fact "bring back") it seems. hope that something here will work, otherwise i'll have that forced mouse cursor in the coming update...
