Can anyone give me a hint as to how to create realistic moonlight in Corona?

Any ideas?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Material/Map browser Renders issues

« on: 2015-03-16, 12:42:12 »

Hi, ive noticed that since the Latest version was released (this didnt happen in A7) the material/map browser window where you select your map type crashes and takes up to ten minutes to load if you have a custom matlib loaded. the preview renders dont appear and any clicking will instantly crash max with a not responding white screen thing.

The max dump is over 2gb so i can send it if needed if there is an upload box?
Thanks

[Max] Resolved Bugs / 3ds max crash when 'Parsing the scene'

« on: 2015-03-10, 16:50:08 »

Ive had max crash twice today on two seperate files when reaching the 'Parsing the scene' rendering stage when using corona. Small scenes. It just does nothing and im forced to crash out max.
I cannot send the files as they are work files and are confidential but surely its a renderer issue and not a file issue if it has occurred on two completely different files?
Jack

P.S. I Also note that this version is noticeably slower than the A7 release

[Max] I need help! / White render?

« on: 2015-02-14, 23:25:23 »

So ive been rendering stills from a scene all day and theyve been fine, I rendered the final image from one camera position and its perfect. i moved the camera to face the opposite way and its rendering completely white as if i have a huge bright light in my scene. i havent added anything i literally rotated the camera and now its rendering far too brightly. Any idea what could cause this?

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Overshoot on rectangular Lights

« on: 2015-01-13, 12:32:36 »

Hi, Id really like an overshoot feature on the rectangular corona lights. At the moment im having to stack two back to back creating a very thin black line in my scene (the tiny gap between the lights)
Other than that this renderer is excellent!

[Max] I need help! / Corona lights not emitting?

« on: 2015-01-12, 16:47:33 »

Hi, im having trouble. i have an interior scene. i have a rectangular light and a sun/sky system in place. i have a few lamps in the scene that im trying to use corona lights inside. however they arent emitting any light whatsoever. the sun and rectangular light are the only lights working in the scene. Am i missing something obvious?
Thanks
