Armory: Missing forward rendering path in latest build

Created on 25 Mar 2017 · 8Comments · Source: armory3d/armory

I tried forward rendering after we had the chat on tweeter. armory/blender/data/data.blend is missing forward_path node tree (I checked it) so when I'm trying to build with Forward renderer I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/razvan/Itch/Armory3D/Armory/armsdk//armory/blender/arm/props_ui.py", line 524, in execute
    make_renderer.check_default()

Build 9 should be fine I think, but I screwed up latest git version - forward path now restored. :)

Yes, they have been restored... but now I'm getting a different error :D. Yeah, so I'm using github master (both armory & iron):

Ahah, pushed a fix to https://github.com/armory3d/iron/commit/365fb3d8325fa31b38d6311ef94ba71670e8419f which makes forward_low path work for me again.

For which preset are you getting this error? Can you try to git pull iron repo and do Clean - Clean Project in case something got 'stuck' there?

'Forward Low' renders directly to framebuffer so that is the one meant for mobile browsers and similar, but there is no post processing as a result so it looks worse. 'Forward' and 'Forward High' presets do have post-processing just like deferred paths. (SSAO and SSR needs to be 're-added' though, will fix soon).

Well, I pulled the latest iron but I get the same error, even after Clean - Clean Project. Tried both Forward & Forward Low, same result...

Tested 'Forward' using Build 9 on Windows and it also works for me (the low preset is broken there). I am currently doing some work there so it's tough to pinpoint these on the fly when using git versions. Will retest on all OSs once new builds get finished.
