crowd : rendering agent "place-holders"

[6ril]

Hi,

 

I'd need to be able to render the agent proxies of the crowdsource node

 

 

Thoses proxies are present when you don't connect an agent to the crowdsource node, but they won't show up when rendering.

 

Is there a way to have them rendered? I'd need the cone+sphere only (not the ground circle+line)

 

thanks !

 

 

*edit*

I dived-in the crowdsource node, and found out where those proxies are made, but I can't really see how to modify the settings, and can't even see any setting that prevent them to be rendered :/

 

please help : /

They render fine for me in 15.0.417. Perhaps the parent geometry object has its display flag turned off?

Hi Cameron,

I'm not sure what you mean by "parent geo"  : /

 

I've started my crowd setup by using the shelf tool : clicking "simulate" on an empty scene. Then I disconnect the agent from the crowdsource, and the proxies appears, but don't render.

 

Is it the same for you ?

 

 

*edit*1

 

Now I understand what you meant by parent geometry, but the display flag is on, and still invisible at render time.

 

*edit*2

I'm using H15.0.244.16

I've tried with just placing a crowdsource node in an empty scene (instead of shelf/simulate), and still nothing :/

With the exact steps you specified, it worked for me in the latest build but not in 15.0.244.16

Thanks for your quick answers Cameron

 

So it's a build pb : / That's weird!
