[SOLVED] When clouds get disabled and enabled they will disappear in WidgetSpriteViewport

[sebastian.vesenmayer]

Hello,

this works for the standard viewport and render to texture but not for the WidgetSpriteViewport.

When disabling the clouds they cannot be made active for the next frame.

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the test scene. I've passed all the information to the dev team. 

Is this issue critical for you current project? We plan to fix it in the upcoming 2.15 SDK update (unless you need this done urgently).

Thanks!

We have been able workarround this by not disabling all cloud layers beforehand.

Sebastian,

Just got an update from the dev team. In order to get a proper clouds rendering you need to manually call Unigine::World::updateSpatial() after cloudObject->setEnabled(true).

That's expected behavior and it's not related to the clouds (all the nodes will behave the same way).

Thanks!

Ok so for WidgetSpriteViewport it is not automatically been handled. I guess our new approach is better then?

Thanks

You can use whatever you need - manually update spatial tree or not disable the clouds at all.
