Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Click on the arrow and looking glass
  2. Set looking glass camera to the scene's camera
  3. Click render quilt
  4. It renders a blank

Expected behavior
It's supposed to render the model, for example, a cube.

  • Alice/LG Version 2.2

Attach log files
Head over to Blender's addon directory (Don't know where this is?), in that directory go to '/AliceLG/logs/', and attach the pylightio.log and alice-lg.log here:
alice-lg.log
pylightio.log

Hi @EphraimB, according to your screenshot, everything is correct. You need to adjust the focal plains and the clipping distances of the camera in the Looking Glass panel to enclose the part of the scene you want to render 😊

Here is a nice guide on how to get started:

Thank you. I got it to work but I don't think rendering does anything.

Did you read the complete document in the link and tried what I wrote about the focal plane and clipping settings?

Especially this part:

https://docs.lookingglassfactory.com/developer-tools/blender#create-render-setup

I think I figured it out other than the quilt render not saving but that might be a Blender issue.
