[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Glass Absorption Color showing through adjacent material

« on: 2024-09-05, 22:40:27 »

Are you sure that the glass colour bleeds through metal and not the metal is reflecting floor, or other surface that is tinted by the greenish light that's coming through that glass? You can do simple test to confirm if the latter is true - place a small plane close to the metal clips, assign that plane rayswitch material with direct slot left empty and all other slots populated with simple grey material. If the clips will turn grey, because they will be reflecting that plane and not the floor, you will know that everything's working as expected.

Offset U and Rotation is one and the same control, the only difference is that the latter uses more familiar units - degrees, while the former uses arbitrary units.

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?

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.
