[Max] I need help! / I would like some help regarding the color reflections.

« on: 2023-06-23, 06:35:48 »

I am creating a scene using the "reference image" attached, but when I actually create it,
 the ceiling color, like in the "corona renderer," reflects too much of the floor color,
which becomes visually unpleasant. How can I achieve a more accurate reproduction?

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Is there a way to get a mask for/from decals

« on: 2023-06-13, 14:39:43 »

Is there a way to get a mask rendered for decals?
For instance, in the attached image is there a way to render a mask for the pink parts which are a Corona Decal in this case?
Material ID, Object ID, or anything else dont seem to work.
Previously in situations like these, I would have to make a second render with a black material override for all the materials in a scene, and then turn all the label/decal materials into self-illuminating materials to get a black and white render to use as a mask in post. I was under the impression that Corona Decals would spare me the second render.

[Max] I need help! / "Substance to Corona" is not working!

« on: 2023-05-15, 13:15:57 »

I would like to use a script for Substance, but when I load an sbrar file using Substance Batch Import and select a map in the Material Editor, and then click on Substance → Substance to Corona, I get an error message saying "please select corona as your primary renderer substance".

I have set the Assign Renderer in the Common tab of the Render Settings to "Production:corona" and Active Shade to Arnold and saved it as defaults. Is there any other issue that might be causing this error?

I can't activate license server...

I am using Corona version 9 (Hotfix 1) with 3dsmax2023 on Windows 10. Yesterday, I shut down my PC, and upon restarting, the Corona renderer license was deactivated and I cannot activate it. I have attached a screenshot of the current situation for your reference.

[Max] I need help! / Ｄifference between "Cmasking_ID" and "Cmasking_Cryptomatte"

« on: 2023-03-28, 17:49:07 »

What's the difference between "Cmasking_ID" and "Cmasking_Cryptomatte" in RenderElements?
While both can be separated by color information, which one is superior?

[Max] I need help! / About DR server.

« on: 2023-03-25, 18:43:15 »

Is there a way to use multiple PCs with DRserver and have the rendering done only on the other PCs, without rendering on my own PC? I want to do other work on my own PC while rendering on other PCs. Does anyone know if this is possible?
