[FIXED] EXR image upside down or with incorrect resolution in Point File In

Hello.

My EXR images (exported from Blender) show up incorrectly with the newest release:

This is two examples of the same EXR file opened up in the most recent, and the older version that worked okay for me.

The first one shows up upside down, the second one in addition to that, is misreading the input size and displays incorrectly (setting correct custom res fixes this).
IIRC, the second one might have been saved as 16bit float, rather than 32bit float in Blender.

Attaching the files used here:

Thanks!

Hey @aulerius

Can you share the demo project saved in 2022.35320, with the specific EXR files ?

I am unable to reproduce at the moment. But also the EXR files shared don’t seem to be exactly what you have in the screenshots, are they ?

Best,
Michel

Right, yea. They were EXR sequences, so I just grabbed the first one of each, which might have been not the ones in a screenshot. The behavior was same regardless.

Here it is with locked TOPs, is that okay?

They look identical on my end with the data locked, in every build I tested from 2022 to 2023. So maybe you want to share this specific “2” file.

Also please make sure you graphic drivers are up to date. Make sure you are on the latest if not.

Are you on Windows or Mac OS ? What GPU are you using ?

Here are the unlocked TOPS loading the actual EXR files.

Windows 10, RTX 3060 12GB.

I’m using studio drivers, but I’ll try updating to the most recent one that I see is a few days old.

Hey @aulerius

Thanks for the file,
I can reproduce now.

I’ll log this for a developer to look into it and get back to you.

Best,
Michel

Thanks for the report.

Most point cloud files don’t have an explicit pixel layout, so the Point File In TOP tends to default the pixels into a square format for convenience. EXRs were previously an exception that maintained their original image dimensions, but this feature was unfortunately lost during some 2023 updates. The behaviour should be restored now in the next update.
