Hello, what version of Max and Corona are you using?

Hi, can you share a short video of the first issue? I can't reproduce it here. As for scaling, there are a few ways this can be done. Click on the Coord tab and change the scale there or switch from ''model'' mode to ''object'' mode in the UI and use the regular scale tool as needed.

Hi there, maybe my workaround in this thread might work for you? Aside from that, it's a known issue.

Yeah, language characters don't play well with Corona. As Mike did, it would be best to remove it.

in this Masterclass video he uses max native lights for gobos, also no corona lights. (so is similar as using c4d lights).

Thanks Stefan, good to know :)

Unfortunately, the lessons were only available online. There is no record of them. It was sponsored and organized by Chaos, so you might discover something about it.

Thanks, I found this out as well. :)

I know its been mentioned MANY times before, but I really feel that the ability to do this with cornona lights is a much needed feature. Pretty much every other engine can make sharp spotlights for this puropse. I'm really not sure why it seems to be in development limbo

I am with you on this and have always pushed it. The current way Corona lights handle textures is not usable imho. The fight continues :)

Thank you for replying. So, Nikos Nikolopoulos utilized this technique during the Archviz Masterclass? I'm not sure whether you saw it, but he was able to effectively manipulate the Gobos, etc.

I haven't seen it but feel free to share a link and I'll check it out. ;)

For best results, use a standard C4D light, a standard C4D material and add your texture to the alpha channel. Assign it to the light and change the projection to flat. Turn off ''tile'' and adjust the scale if need be. One thing to note is that this will not show up with IR but it will with a final render. If you want IR you can use Cinema's IRR.

Also note that my settings screenshot was from the tile map connected to displacement.
