I'm playing with isosurface and i3d (is it really the only way of rendering volume in H?)
I try making a vop i3d shader and would like to see it updating an isosurface right after rendering to disk.
Instead I have to refresh isosurf manually, for example clicking on function and on image 3d again. This behaviour is logical but a bit inconvenient.
Is there a way to update image in isosurf just after a new one was saved?

You could try turning on auto flushing of the texture cache, I don't know if it relates to isosurface cache or not. In the textport type “texcache -a on”

If that doesn't work try going to settings -> main preferences -> Objects -> Sop cache and turning up the cull level.

Well, this or that way it doesn't update, but thanks anyway, I've learned something new.

I think then that it's probably worth email support at sidefx and requesting a change.

I'm using apprentice, perhaps in commercial version there were some updates concerning this case, but you are right, I'd better let them know.

cheers

Hello,
I was asking my self the same thing few days ago… and I've searched, tryed the odforce odwiki… and nothing, and I saw this post, so:
You got ahead of me!

I think I'll still do the refresh thing myself, is not too complicated!

Ahead ?

of YOU?!

NO WAY!

Updating by hand is nothing horrible but a little workflow spoiler.
I'd like it to work like standard VOP shader buuilding, instant feedback.

cheers

Peter

Yes, you are right, I'd like that too… but what can we do…
Thats the way things are, and we can't do much, unless we do what Simon said, e-mail sidefx

bye!
