Title: Objects not visible in preview
Post by: PeterParker on March 19, 2014, 11:29:49 AM
Hello,

when i reload a scene with trees and other objects the objects dont appear in the preview window.
But when i render the scene the trees and other things appear in the preview window.

Is this issue known?

Best Regards

Peter

I think I may have noticed that too a few times.  I use pause a lot on the preview window, especially with a scene with a lot of objects, so I don't pay close attention.  But I know there's been time when an object should have been visible but wasn't.  I need to stop and check that out -- maybe disable/enable the object, pause and un-pause the preview, rotate the render camera slightly, etc.

Hi Jaf,

have also rotate the Camera, refresh the preview window, enable/disable the objects, pause and unpause the preview.
Just if i hit the render button the scene will update. Very strange to me...

You can check visibility in the object tabs or the pop tabs, or with the buttons above the preview. If it's a pop, you might not see it immediately, but if you hit render, it will populate and they should be there.

Yes it´s a population and it appears only when i hit render. The Buttons you´ve described dont have any effect to make them visible.
