how to select many rows in the hierarchy window? Does exist a window selection?
ctrl+q ( select all siblings)
Is it possible to output two screens with different resolutions? For example: 1st screen 1920x1080, 2nd screen 3840x2160
everything is possible...
How to get better antialiasing? For thin geometries with best settings I see jaggies
use a blur...
Does Ventuz support the TXAA?
not yet afaik
How to achieve geometry corrected reflections? For me the only method that works is the up side down geometry, the target texture method doesn't generate the correct perspective.
write a shader
How to use the bump map shader within a reflection map? Is not possible to stack several shaders?
in HLSL everything is possible (almost )
What about Ventuz 4 shaders?
theres a third party package from GT i can recommend to everyone. Additionally ther will be the known V- Shaders.
How is possible to change the transparency order without change the position in the hierarchy?
Render pass node
Is it possible to change the toolbox tabs order?
- well as soon as you advance in your Ventuz skills you wont use the toolbox anyways - advanced users use the spacebar and search their nodes by name (can be cahnged in the options)
How to clone a node in the content window without ctrl+c ctrl+v? no mouse shortcuts? does not exist a duplicate command (ctrl+d)?
clone? copy? rightclick+drag
How to batch rename a bunch of nodes?
click each individually - or delete all but one and copy again.
How to move a hierarchy (with hierarchy containers) into another hierarchy container without loose the binds?
click first node and select merge into container- then copy paste or move or whatever
If I shift+ctrl copy a hierarchy several times and I try to delete one of them all copies will be deleted. Why?
Because you created linked copies with that shortcut. Everything done to a single one will be done to all others - technically it is the "same" nodes / geometry etc.
Is not possible to select one single node without press the ctrl key? I would like to invert the selection, ctrl+click select the entire tree, single click select one single node. I already know your answer but I would like to customize some commands.
Since you know the answer...
How to advance (navigate) to the next state or keyframe in the timeline? manually? left-right keyboard arrows for keyframes up-down keyboard arrows for states would be nice.
next state : your set method- since the states and their order are heavily customizable and often not linear theres no shortcut for that. next keyframe : not implemented. - try working with nested animations anyways
Shift dragging the playhead bar the timeline interface disappear, why?
Because its a tricky rogue! - sry I dont know what you mean
In edit mode why I have to set the render point to move freely the camera? In most cases I see all black because lights stay in another tree.
set the render point at the start of your hierachy - including light...
Thank you for your answers.
you' re welcome
