Hi. Already posted this on the daily builds thread, but think this is the right place.

When using the new "Concrete Plates Dirty" I get the "normal map using incorrect gamma" warning. It also looks like there is some serious terminator problems with correct gamma on this material.

Otherwise there are some great new materials.

Thanks :)

Hi,

We have fixed this in v6 RC6. You will need to re-download the material library, either through the installer or the offline file from: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000036778

Thanks,

Rowan

Thanks. The gamma is correct now, but I think theres something wrong with the normalmap. It gives some shading artifacts (terminator problems?), and when turned down (0,3), there's almost no bump effect. Doesn't look right to me.

Is this intended?

Regards

Thanks a lot, we will look into this, and hopefully it is a quick fix.

@rowmanns & maru - the problems with the normal map in "Concrete Plates Dirty" is still present in v6.

I did some testing, and found that the problem seems to be, that the normalmap is saved with wrong gamma. If I put the bitmap loader through a Corona Collorcorrect map with gamma set to 0,45, before plugging it into the Corona Normal map, everything works as expected.

So this should be an easy fix ;)

Regards

Hey,

Thank you for your investigation! I will forward this on to our matlib guys and make sure it gets fixed :)

Cheers,

Rowan


EDIT:
We just looked into this again, we think that the RGB level in the Corona Bitmap which contains the normal map is set incorrectly. It is set to 0.5 and should be set to 1, this fixes the issue for me.

Could you try changing this and seeing if it works for you too?

Cheers,

Rowan

Yes I did try that, and it didn't fix the issue. I'm quite confident that the normal map is saved with wrong gamma. Test my described solution out, and you'll see it for yourself.

Hi,

This time we really finally fixed the material. You can download the new matlib from the usual places or with the v6 HF1 installer.

Cheers,

Rowan

I updated the file in the DB folder, it looks like I forgot to do that yesterday.

Dear coronauts,

I did not want to create separate thread, maybe it was discussed somewhere, but I did not find anything :(



My problem is that every time I drag some material from corona material library, all the textures are assigned without any path in corona bitmap.
If I press "view image" - it works, but the path is still missing.
If i press "load map" and then "open", then the path got repaired.

It is fine till I archive the scene or send it to the cloud rendering.

Please look at my attachments.
Please, halp!

Best Regards
