[Max] I need help! / Re: Rendering Smoke - Phoenix FD

« on: 2020-04-27, 11:09:04 »

Hi,

Please can you try with the latest Corona daily build? We have fixed the crashing with Phoenix FD v4.

Thanks,

Rowan

Is it stable...? Im in the middle of a few projects and not really needing the hassle of crashing/issues/dramas...
If it's good then I'll happily give it a go... 👍

It should have been working fine for smoke since it was first introduced - do you have any specific problem to report? (That is, smoke and fire should have worked fine since Corona 2)

Mostly just referencing the OP... I'm a noob with PFD and downloaded this

file/tute but can't get it to render... just crashes or takes forever or renders blank....

Hardware / Adding another 64Gb Ram to machine with 64GB ram...

« on: 2020-04-02, 22:42:13 »

Is there any issue in just buying an additional 64GB ram of the same brand and type and adding it to the remaining 4 DDR4 slots?
the machine is a AMD TR 2950X/64GB Vengance LPX 3200/Gigabyte X399 AORUS XTREME

I've heard in the past that you should buy all the RAM at the same time...?

Any help is much appreciated.

Stunning work, but who would expect anything less..!!! ;)

Can't wait to see more and here more about the creation process!

Still doing post in AE? or is this just straight out of the VFB? Custom LUTS?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: Max freeze during Interactive Render when autosave occurs

« on: 2019-05-03, 00:38:43 »

I get this too - but the file doesn't need to be that big - working on a 75mb file it's just frozen...

If 3ds max autosaves whilst using interactive rendering, it crashes...

this has happened numerous times for me.

max 2019, corona 3...

Might be personal preference. I prefer Tiff for the following:

- more commonly accepted in all of its versions (16bit&32bit Tiff, whereas 16bit PNG (PNG-48) is less).
- more compression options
- more flexible alpha use (lot of applications read png with baked alpha, with Tiff they always give interpretation options)
- can save layers, good support for color profiles

It's good format to save from Corona, good format to store layers, good format to send to clients,/print.

So are you saying that you save your still images out of the Corona VFB as "16-bit Color" TIF images...? Assuming No Compression and 300dpi - to complete the TIF image control dialog?

In your opinion, would this be the best "photography" type work flow... ie. DNG -> Lightroom -> PS...?

Sorry if this is rudimentary, but a lot of this thread is well over my head...
