Sometimes, it's the little things, some-times not... Why Won't My W-I-D-E Scene Render In Superfly ??
I imported a nice w-i-d-e MMD stage I'd converted from PMX to OBJ/MTL. Only half-a-dozen materials, one texture map each: Park's footpath tiles, lawn, bench seats, lamp-standard poles, lamp glazing. Load them, go into 'Advanced', dial up lamp glazing Ambiance to self-luminous. LaFemme stood in the middle. Render in Superfly. There's enough lighting from Lights #1~4 for a first pass, then iterate until looks really good. What could go wrong ??
Yeah, right....
Blank screen, beige. Tweak parameters, blank screen, black. Tweak parameters, blank screen black.Tweak parameters, blank screen, black...
Tried with CPU, tried with twin GPU, just blank screen, black. Unless beige...
Firefly renders okay, but without the self-luminous standard lamps...
Seems Superfly render engine simply could not cope with my w-i-d-e scene.
I soon Googled enough to learn this is a well-known, very exasperating quirk of Superfly, but has no sure fix. Changing bucket size etc may mitigate.
At that point, oven timer pinged, so I shut Poser down to clear any lingering cache stuff. This time around, I'll try to be more scientific...
