I honestly cannot think of an important warning that I might miss. Any pro tips?

System units mismatch? I certainly wouldn't want to miss that warning, among many others.

Your normal map is wired incorrectly. You should plug Corona normal between bitmap and randomizer, not between randomizer and material. Don't know if that would help with false warning messages, but your way of connecting will give you wrong normals whenever rotation is randomized.

A close-up of the sofa fabric looks very impressive. Would you mind to tell what techniques did you use to create it?

Ah yes, AI is very liberal with DOF placement even when it generates entire image at once, but when you're separately inpainting smaller areas, this thing basically gets out of control. I tend not to look at the details too much, since you can always find good amount of AI hallucinations there :D

You can try to enable temporal consistency in scattering rollout, but i doubt if will help if you're modifying distribution object. Can you tell why having fixated scattered instances positions is so important in your case?

Hi Aram, would you mind to elaborate what do you mean by texture density? Overall i agree with you that the image feels somewhat inconsistent, especially the woman. I need to pay more attention to that in the future, it's not very easy to keep consistency when you're doing inpainting in chunks.

If you edit distribution surface, then distributed instances' positions will inevitably change, there's no way around this, it's how Corona scatter works.

My favorite little yellow subject in a forest environment. Workflow - low resolution rendering with Corona, AI enhancement (aka inpainting), AI upscale, fixing small issues in Affinity Photo.

Hi,

IMO, if you have enough available RAM, then it's not worth to worry about textures size too much. This is especially true if you're using Corona bitmaps and have out of core enabled in render setup (should be ON by default), since Corona will automatically take care about optimal texture resolution.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Crashing with Vray materials

« on: 2024-10-02, 12:19:04 »

Hi Aram,

It happens in every scene, even completely empty one. I just need to merge any model with Vray material, pick its material to material editor and as long as Corona is set to be an active renderer, the Max will crash. Perhaps minidump would be more useful in this case?

Haha, i tried to right-click all over the place, searched all the menus without much success. Turns out i just wasn't precise enough. Thanks again Frood! :]

You're my hero! The fix worked a bit too well - it completely removed all the views and SME become unusable, apparently there's no way to add new views, when all of them are deleted. Fortunately simple restart fixed that issue and my scene is working again. Thank you very much!! :]
