Would be lovely if this plugin is capable of aligning Coronasun with the sun on the HDRI. I hope you can implement it in the next release. Thank you.

General CG Discussion / Re: Vantage and Corona

« on: 2022-06-16, 11:33:02 »

Hey Philip, don't worry, you're not alone :)
It would be really cool if we could get Vantage for Corona.
I asked about this in Corona 8 webinar, the answer was that it's not planned at this moment.
I hope this will change in the near future.

allow me to also add to this: Vray 6-beta, has got some amazing new stuff coming, clouds, geo-pattern tool, rule of thirds built into the VFB etc, do we expect these to be implemented in coming versions of corona?; seeing as both applications are now under the same roof. I've also looked at the roadmap for corona 9, kudos to the team, though the list of items to be covered feels more like a finishing touches to the current stable corona 8 release.

[Max] I need help! / Help! Running two instances of 3dsmax with trial license

« on: 2022-04-24, 11:53:20 »

Hello, I've been testing corona 8 for a few days now. I tried running another instance of 3dsmax while doing a render on another, (same versions of 3dsmax), but corona says all licenses are in use. Does that's mean I can on render on one at a time using the license? Also it doesn't seem to find any licenses at all for chaos scatter.

[Max] I need help! / Corona 7 plant/leave textures almost black after converting

« on: 2022-03-13, 14:42:23 »

I've been having a small issue with corona 7 and 3dsmax, each time I convert legacy materials to physical materials, leaves or texture or some trees/plants renders almost black like it's lost all its translucency. Its mostly happening with plant or leave textures. Other things seem fine. Anyone experiencing this? Is there a workaround to make them render as it should? I mostly experience this when using globeplants library.

[Max] I need help! / Corona Renderer and 3dsmax 2020

« on: 2019-07-06, 16:14:40 »

Hello, I just upgraded to max 2020, and i have a little issue with corona 3.0 installed in max 2020, it takes forever to open scenes done in corona 2.0 because version 3.0 is trying to convert displacement to the new improved displacement. The larger the scene, the longer it takes, sometimes it just doesn't load at all, the cursor keeps spinning and i have to force close max 2020 after waiting for about 30mins - 1hr, The size of the max files are usually between 200mb to 1gb.

Secondly, when the scene finally opens, selecting corona scatter which was created in version 2.0 in  max 2019 with wire-box mode display on; freezes the viewport, it recovers after about 30-40mins, but freezes again once i click anything so long as corona scatter is still selected until i successfully delete it or switch display mode for that scatter from wire-box mode to points. Has anyone experienced this?

I upgraded to max 2020 because i discovered that Using VrayHDRI map in the environment map slot no longer lags when you try rotating it when the environment map displayed in viewport; it has always been an issue in older versions of max(2016-2019).

Hello, I recently installed corona renderer 3.0 (hotfix 2) to try out. I've having an issue with scattering grass and other objects. corona scatter freezes 3dsmax once i select a distribution surface,  is any one else experiencing this issue.

[Max] I need help! / Scale issue with CoronaConvertProxies Script

« on: 2016-07-11, 23:34:29 »

Hello, i'm having a slight issue with the corona convert proxies script. it doesn't seem to work too well when converting vray proxies to corona proxies. once i hit convert, it does the converting but then the new corona proxy object gets so large in scale and fills up the entire scene then i have to delete cos i can barely zoom. i know this script wasn't created by the corona team but i just wanted to know if any other user trying out corona has tried this script and got it work successfully.
