CreateRay

zmilez

Hi,
I used the example code from
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/11585/example-createray?_=1639590161417
to build a VideoPostData plugin to modify the rays.
I noticed CreateRay wouldnt work with other renderers Vray, Corona,
but was wondering if there was a way to hook up the plugin to work with Redshift
Or if Redshift has its own SDK
Any info much appreciated.

Hi,

While Redshift can call this function, it calls it only once. And some renders are not rays based, so it doesn't make senses for them.
What are you trying to achieve?

Cheers,

Hey @Manuel ,

Do you mean RedShift is compatible with C4D lens effects?
Can I really use CreateRay() with RedShift?

I have a lens plugin that works well on the standard renderer but not on the RS camera.
Is there anything extra to do to enable it on RS?

Thanl you,
Roger

Hi @rsodre ,

CreateRay() is not fully functional with RS and this is likely what Manuel meant by saying that is called by RS only once.

Ok, but if RS can call it, when and how does it?
Call just once... makes no sense, because the effect calls once per pixel at least, on every frame.
Why would RS call it in a different context?

What do you mean not fully functional?
Is it partially functional?
How so?
