Every time I save a project which has DOF settings on a camera, (keyframed to change or not), the focal range (as well as near & far transition regions) all reset to zero next time I open the file. Very strange. Because this was previously reported as issue Issue 3496, assigned and marked as released for 7.1
But it's still not saving our DOF settings properly.
The only keyframe that seems to save DOF settings (sometimes) is the first one at position 1 on the timeline. But any changes after that are never saved.
HOW TO REPLICATE:
1) Open any file with assets. 2) Add a camera and make various DOF changes along the timeline. 3) Move the keyframe for DOF at position 1 to somewhere else on the timeline. 4) Save, close and re-open. 5) See how many DOF settings have re-set to 0.
Also please note: "Pick a target" can no longer select props or avatars if the file also has an image layer(s). Instead; in iC7 and 7.1, "Pick a Target" will always select the image layer unless all image layers are hidden or switched off.
And "Pick a Target" is unable to select a target from the Scene list as well. But if it could, then this would help to solve a few issues of targetting in a crowded scene.
I cannot reproduce the problem with DOF key frames. I tried creating new ones other than at frame 1 and I also moved a key frame at frame 1 further up the timeline. When I reloaded the project all DOF settings were as they were before.
Also, in my case, an image layer does not affect selecting a target.
Picking a target was changed to what you actually see in the scene to make it more accurate, because when selecting in the Scene Manager, iClone would select the pivot or root I believe, which wouldn't work if you needed the face, for example.
