[Max] General Discussion / Re: Is there a way to fine-tune the glossiness in Coronamaterial?

And if you want to control it with texmap, there is very simple way to fine tune it:

Sorry guys, but i clearly see difference between 0.99 and 0.999 glossiness.

Edit: difference between 0.99 and 0.995 is there too, but it's quite hard to see.

Has that glass material caustics enabled by any chance? And why would you need glass at all? Try to render with CoronaLightMtl or CoronaMtl wit selfillum only.

You can increase precision of 3ds max's spinners in preference settings or use 16/32 bit bitmaps to get more than 256 steps.

Can you show material of those light spheres? They look very suspicious.

Is it me, or these books are missing something? ;]

These looks good already. I'd just add subtle bump to them.

Will you make softcover books too?

Nice. I love how subtle surface imperfection brakes down reflections. Much much nicer that currently over-used effect of using drastically contrasted dirt/concrete map in reflection/glossy slot//russian style.

I am guessing this is a photo. :)

Yes, that is just googled picture, sorry for not mention it :]

I find A5 was better to play with caustics, since vcm in A6 disregards material absorption. If i should need to render pool scene, i'd most likely render water with caustics separately from main scene, and combine them in post later.

Xform on lights.... really? O_O

Why not? I never did it personally, but i can imagine situations when it could be useful. Now, i have to try this :]

Win 7, max 2014 sp3, no problems at all. I did short recording  to show that i could perfectly fine do modeling in second instance of max, should i want to.

You should develope your masking and perspective matching skills more. Other than that, good job (except those two awful trees infront of a building).

I don't know what you wanted to simulate with those splotches, dust particles in air or dirt on camera lens, but in either way, you failed, i think. It just looks distracting. Other than that, looks good.

Well, maybe there isn't absolute necessity in doing that, but it doesn't harm to develop good modeling habits ;]
