Hi,
I was looking for a way to use a spline to generate a mask. The spline would be the boundary for the shape and it would be projected onto the object I need a mask for.
Currently with CoronaDistance you'd need to use a volume AFAK, which can be messy and you'd need to set it to not-renderable and show as box if you don't want to have an annoying volume.
It would be interesting if there was a mode in CoronaDistance that allows to use a spline in projection mode without having to actually extrude the shape.
3DS Max's ShapeMap is slow to render with Corona.
Here's a discussion on Stack:

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. We have logged it as a feature request in our system. We will let you know if there will be any update on this .

Meanwhile, the workarounds include either extruding the spline or using 3ds Max features such as the shape map or conforming geometry (which may or may not work...).

Wait, last time I checked the built in Shape Map only worked with a few primitive shapes like rectangle and circle but would not accept arbitrary shapes - has this changed?
Also, it always produced jagged results, its borders/results were noisy and never clean enough for me to bother using it.

I tried with shapemap and works really well, no jagged edges or anything like that, but renders much slower than coronaDistance.
