Has anyone tried AoA' Atmosphere Cameras in 4.10? I know there were some so-so results in 4.7. Has it been updated to work in 4.10?

You mean the one that is no longer available, for some reason? It works okay for me, but some of the presets might need a little tweaking. Last updated in 2014. What kind of so-so results? I know there was a version that didn't work very well, if at all, for some cameras. The download is a single file now, but I could have sworn there were two (DS3 and DS4.5+). I still have a download from when I bought it last year that is different from what is available now, so something changed fairly recently, say, a little over year ago. Definitely after Studio 4.7.
4.7 was where the problems started. I couldn't get it to work. Haven't tried in 4.10. Wasn't going to waste my time and frustrate myself if people knew it didn't work.
In what way would I need to tweak presets?
The Fog camera and Depth camera work pretty much as is, the Colorize camera seems a bit harsh, but that's just a small adjustment on saturation, maybe color, to your taste. The Atmosphere camera is probably the most difficult, relatively speaking, because, first, there are no presets, just the default setting, and you have to balance light, density, color, etc., but it isn't really that much different than adjusting volumetric effects in Iray.
Anyway, I can say that they all work without too much difficulty. Just make sure you have the currently available package installed (IM00013926-02_AtmosphericEffectsCamerasforDS34.zip). The previous release had the EasyVolume shader, which was the problem, I think, and has been removed.
Thanks ... I don't play with iray, so have nothing to compare to.
