Learner’s Corner / Re: The rendered image doesn't look realistic at all.

« on: Yesterday at 09:50:11 »

Making nice looking picture is quite easy these days, you just toss a bunch pre-made assets, add materials from mat libraries, enable HDRI and job done. If you want to make that same picture to look outstanding, that's where real work begins. You need to have deep understanding about materials, composition, lighting and so on. Everything that comes with years of practice and can't be easily transferred in single forum message. As with almost anything in life - the last 10% requires 90% of effort. If you're just a beginner, don't expect to create masterpiece after watching couple tutorials, just try to make each work slightly better than previous one and build your knowledge one step at the time. The quality of your work will increase with time.

I would consider Corona pattern. Requirement to use multi map complicates the task considerably, but doesn't make it impossible.

Did you try to borrow license until your issue is resolved?

All licensing questions should only be addressed through Chaos help portal and not the forum. Please submit new support ticket here: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

@Sakib@49, these videos are somewhat old, but still should be good start for beginner.

There's no need to report the same issue multiple times, if you want to bump up your old report, please do post reply in original topic.

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: New VFB Skin and functionality

« on: 2024-08-26, 15:42:12 »

I'm about to downgrade to 11 now. I don't want to run into the performance issues I've read and hear about (not just here, it's going around) and I want to get back to the old VFB UI.

You can switch to and use old VFB in Corona 12 as well.

Wait, on the new support portal there's no option to select "possible bug" eeeh, why? And which one should we use for bugs.

I believe the bugs are still to be reported the old way - either here in the forum, or by opening a support ticket in the Chaos help portal.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Sun and Sky Issue

A more correct way to remove sunlight would be to set sun intensity to 0 instead of turning it off. That way sky should work more closely to what you're expecting.

If you're using noise limit as stopping condition, then this increase in render time might be expected. Corona evaluates noise differently when the image is predominantly dark or bright. This has been reported and discussed on the forum multiple times, you can try to use search and see if you can gather some useful info about that, but as far as i'm aware, if you want consistent render time, it's better use pass or time limits as stopping conditions.
