Heya, Having a few issues with one of the screens which is making it awkward to position a camera once tutorial is complete.

Throughout the whole tutorial I’m getting no view of the object in the perspective screen (top left)

Tried “O” to reset screen and it brings up part of the graphic, but when I move the view out, everything disappears. I’ve scrubbed along the timeline, but still,  nothing appears or re-appears when i move the view back in.

I can render to screen and locate it there, but not in the perspective view panel.

All other panels are ok and i can see the words.

Any ideas?? (working on R17)

Hi tui_nz,

Would you mind to save the file that troubles you and share it here?

If you have problems to upload, just let me know, I will set up an Upload option and send this link via PM to you.

(Quick check: IF you just add a cube to the scene, is this cube visible?)

I will look into when I have the file. Guessing takes only your time away.

Cheers

Heya - thanks heaps for your help.

If I add a cube, yes it does show up. Still can’t see the type though

Not sure how to upload a file to the forum - can you set up upload option.

thanks

Please check your Cineversity PM (private message), tui_nz.

As a side note, the file type (for the forum) should be “zip” if not an image, but even zip have flavors that won’t work…. Sorry!

Talk to you soon.

Thanks for the file, very nice of you, tui_nz.

The core problem is the camera “switch”. (the camera linking… or the little square gray/white [Object Manager])
Each time one window is active, the freshly activated camera will influence the view. Some like this feature, and at least I think it should be optional and not default. Anyway, before I explain it in many words, I though it is easier to show with the scene itself what happen. It is something that I do from time to time as well, and it can confuse … me as well, when the scene is kind of complex and the camera has not my attention at all.

You can download the clip, even I did each step slow, it is only a minute long.

Tha the lower right window was chosen as render view, might have a reason, but I just wanted to point it out.

If there is any other question, please let me know. I’m happy to look into it!

All the best, and enjoy the rest of the course/series.
