Renderer3D Glitches

Hi,

Getting to grips with Fusion and trying out depth of field and motion blur. Each time I create a scene, however simple, once I switch to the Open GL Renderer in the Renderer3D node, I get glitches in the scene and in the output file. See the diagonal line in the image:

If I switch back to Software Renderer, the glitches go. But then so do the blur effects. This scene is a Background, Text3D, Renderer3D and Camera3D - very simple to show the problem.

I have a Radeon R9 380 graphics card with the latest drivers.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Have you tried changing the Renderer's Transparency mode from "Z Buffer" to "Sorted"?

If that doesn't help, please upload your test scene (or copy it in Fusion und paste it into a code block directly into the post).

Thanks for getting back to me.

Changing the Renderer's transparency mode doesn't do anything except change the glitches a little; they just look like a different set of random dots in a diagonal line.

Here's the scene:

Tried your test scene - no glitches...
Tried different positions in the animation, also changed the focus plane of the camera - nothing, clean image.

That's on MacBook Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB - will try on MacPro later, but it would seem it's an issue with the pairing Fusion/Driver/Card in your setup

J.

Thanks for trying that out, John. At least I know I'm not doing something wrong. I feared it may be graphics card related... I'm on a PC with a AMD Radeon R9 380.

EDIT:
Yep, looks fine on my MacBook. I'll do some research on AMD's site.

EDIT:
Uninstalled Fusion and AMD drivers (with their cleaner utility) and then reinstalled but no difference. The glitches appear when Enable Accumulation Effects checkbox is ticked in the Renderer3D node and disappear when it's unticked.

Would love to know if anyone else has had the same problem and, more importantly, if there's a solution (though buying a new graphics card is not the answer I'm after...).

Sometimes stepping back to an older driver can solve video card related problems.

Try uninstalling the drivers by using AMD cleanup Utility:

C:\Program Files\AMD\CIM\Bin64\AMDCleanupUtility.exe

Then install them again.

Adelson - I've tried the AMD cleanup utility and reinstalled everything - no joy.

Bryan - I'm quite new to Fusion so it's not as if a new version of the driver has broken it, both the current and previous driver versions have shown the same problem.

In Windos 10 with AMD cards your comp is clean to me.

Have you tried to turn on the Super Sampling in the Output Channels ? (in your comp it was off)

Nothing changes if I tick SS. I've ticked and unticked all those options (I have no idea what they mean) to see if there's a change, but there's not.

If I click the HiQ option down near the transport bar, the glitches change - there are more of them.

Does this help at all?

can you try to increase the subdivions on the plane? maybe this can help.

(i also a Nvidia card and everything fine here)

Thanks for replying but still no change. Tried tweaking all the settings there but the glitches remain. If I disconnect the background image plane, the glitches are still visible over the text so they're not coming from individual elements (i.e. the background OR the text), it's the scene overall.

I was wondering the same thing. Can't troubleshoot the issue here too.

No glitches here on an iMac with a Radeon Pro 560 in either OpenGL or software renderer on Fusion 9.01.

Oops, just noticed this is an old thread.
