Hello,When I use CreateRay() on a Video Post effect, any glowing objects stop glowing...
Any clues?

I think, you will need to give us some more information. At best you'd post some code.

I create a simple object and apply a material that has Glow to it.
I render and it glows, as expected.
When i add my Video Post plugin that has custom lens using CreateRay, the object does not glow anymore.
If I recompile the plugin removing the CreateRay access, the glow comes back.
I fill everything on the Ray structure but the ior, as I have no idea what it does. -

ior is the index of refraction. Which value has it? If it's zero, can you please try, if it makes any difference setting this to 1.0?
Otherwise can you please show me some code, so I can get a clearer picture, of what is going on? -

Tried with ior 0.0 and 1.0, makes no difference.

Sure, but there ain't much to see on code.
The strange thing is that if my plugin used CreateRay(), glowing textures won't glow.
If I remove VIDEOPOSTINFO_CUSTOMLENS from GetRenderInfo, but glow works.VIDEOPOSTINFO BDVJData::GetRenderInfo(BaseVideoPost* node) { if ( bEnabled ) return VIDEOPOSTINFO_CUSTOMLENS|VIDEOPOSTINFO_EXECUTEPIXEL|VIDEOPOSTINFO_EXECUTELINE; else return VIDEOPOSTINFO_0; } void BDVJData::CreateRay(Ray* dst, Real x, Real y) { if ( ! bEnabled ) { //this->VideoPostData::CreateRay(dst, x, y); return; } // Get ray LVector dir = CreateRay( x, y ); if ( dir == LVector(0) ) { dst->p = LVector(0); dst->v = LVector(0); return; } // Get camera LMatrix camMatrix = mCamera->GetMg(); LVector camPos = camMatrix.off; // Make ray dst->p = camPos; // posiciona na camera dst->v = dir; // direcao do raio dst->v *= camMatrix; // transformacao da camera dst->v -= camPos; // volta pra 0,0,0 //dst->ior = 0.0; // p - 0 // / // 1 - 2 for ( int n = 0 ; n < 3 ; n++ ) { Real xx = x + ( n % 2 == 0 ? 1.0 : 0.0 ); Real yy = y + ( n > 0 ? 1.0 : 0.0 ); LVector dd = CreateRay( xx, yy ); if ( dd == LVector(0) ) dd = dir; dst->pp[n] = camPos; // posiciona na camera dst->vv[n] = dd; // direcao do raio dst->vv[n] *= camMatrix; // transformacao da camera dst->vv[n] -= camPos; // volta pra 0,0,0 } } LVector BDVJData::CreateRay(Real x, Real y) { if ( bPanoramic ) { // Panoramic projection LVector uv = LVector( x - area.start.x, y - area.start.y, 0 ) / (mRadius * 2.0); if ( uv.x < 0.0 || uv.x > 1.0 || uv.y < 0.0 || uv.y > 1.0 ) return LVector(0); uv.x = 1.0 - uv.x; return geoToDome( uv ); } else { // Fulldome projection LVector uv = LVector( x - area.start.x, y - area.start.y, 0 ) / (mRadius * 2.0); uv.y = 1.0 - uv.y; return texelToDome( uv, mFov, mMask != VP_MASK_DISABLED ); } } -

Hi,
I'm terribly sorry, I should have tested this earlier. I think you found a bug in C4D. The same is happening, when using glow with the cylindrical lens effect. I have reported the issue and will keep you updated.

By now, I got confirmation that this is a bug. Sorry
