[Max] I need help! / Corona + Laubwerk = Crash !!SOLVED!!

« on: 2017-10-11, 13:57:24 »

Hi

I am facing big problems while using corona and Laubwerk trees in 3d s max. Each time i've selected a Laubwerk tree and hit the render button corona freezes while transforming vertices. This is ultra tedious because it happens so often. I did a test with v ray to check if it is a max problem, but it does not seem to be the case. It must be something between laubwerk and corona. The problem exists since some years. Right now i use Corona 1.7 but had same problems with earlier versions as well.

I did some further testing and realized, the the problem only occures when the laubwerk tree is displayed in pointcloud mode or simple geometrie.
But I cant display all of my trees as full geometry objects.

Maybe there is a quick way to fix this problem.

Thank you.

Hi Guys

I had some fun creating this blue hour mood Image.
I was heavily inspiered by all the great Images popping up everywhere these days.

All in all it took me 20h to get there. (rendertime not included, most of the props are from our library)
CC is welcome. Thanks!

Software used: 3d max, Corona (what else) , PS

[Max] I need help! / itoo forest preset masking

« on: 2017-05-04, 15:49:52 »

Hi

I would like to use the forest presets with corona. The big Problem is that corona does not handle the forest object as one maskable object.
when scattering other stuff i use the id's of the scattered objekts to make them appear in the mask. unfortunately i can't select the preset objects to give them id's.
Does anyone know a solution for this Problem.

Thanks

Hi

Here is another Car render i did. (3d max + corona 1,6 )
This time i build the model myself. It was a nice challenge and took me 3 days all in all to get to this result.
I hope to find the time to put it in some nice Environments, but for now i am quit happy with these Images.

Hope you like it.

Here is a little test i did. The models are from Hum3d. I did shaders are done from scratch to fit my needs.
I am still impressed by Coronas Speed and power. It is such fun just playing arround with it. All in All (shaders, Scene, render, and PS) 1,5 hours

Hope you like it.

Hope you guys like it.

Hi

To stay fit in modeling and pimp up our comanys Portfolio i decided to try some nature study. Based on a Foto i did this one you see below. I spend 10 Hours all in all. From Modeling (all in Max no sculpting Programm involved) up to unwrapping, texture painting(this was some work), lighting and shading. rendertime was 15 Hours on 5k. Sadly it is still noisy in some Areas. But that seems to be the Price for the heavy DOF, the SSS and the displacement.

I Hope you like it. CC is welcome.

[Max] I need help! / Viewport Display of Mask from Layered Material

« on: 2016-05-10, 10:01:47 »

Hi Corona users end Devs

I hope you have a solution for my Problem. I am doing a corona layered material and i want the mask map to be displayed in my viewport.
I know, there are some work arrounds to get it done. But it would be much cooler to just have the Option to set the mask to be "interactive" like in the blend material. BTW. the same Thing would be awesome for light materials. In the viewport light mats are allways pure ehite. Displaying a map is not working... or am i doing something wrong.

If there is an easy trick to get it done i would be happy to know how to do it. If not i would realy hope that the corona Crew is maki9ng this Little Thing possibel in future builds. It's not super important but it is one of These small Things... you know....

Thanks!

[Max] I need help! / SSS flickering

« on: 2016-03-14, 11:42:42 »

Hi Guys

I have a Problem with flickering sss mat in Animation. UHD Cache is set up to aniamtion flicker free. I use the 1.4 corona build with denoise. The gif is created with the  translucency pass.
I give the Image 10 passes to render and then the denoise is doing it's Magic to the Image. (awesome btw)

is 10 passes not enough for accurate sss calculation?
Is sss all in all hard to animate?
Am i doing something wrong?

Please help me. Would be a shame to get rid of this cool sss look in my Animation.

regards!

[Max] I need help! / not native Proxys causing Corona to freeze

« on: 2016-02-03, 12:24:07 »

Hi Corona Forum

I had some Problems with program freezes. It happened every second time i've hit the renderbutton. My Scene was not big or something. Just Some architekture and 3 Laubwerk Trees. I've displayed them as Proxys in the viewport (pointcloud and simplified). Both versions caused max to freeze. After displaying them as full geomety there were no crashes anymore. So obvious ist been the Proxys. I have 32 GB of Ram and the Scene could not fill it. So this was not the reason. I've contacted the Laubwerk guys allready. I think it would help if some others had the same experience and share it. So corona and/ or Laubwerk might fix the Problem.

For now i just bake the trees and covert them to corona Proxys. But this should not be thesolution of this Problem. I like the flexibility of the Laubwerk trees. And baking them is contraproductive.

Regards

Gregor

we have a new webside, wich should be online from now on ( www.fokuspunkt.de)
We do real photography and 3d.

We are a two man and one woman Team. Two photo guys and me as the 3d and Interior design dude. Mostly all the 3d stuff is done with the great corona.

Hope you like it.

General CG Discussion / 360° Product viewer

« on: 2015-05-19, 10:29:22 »

Hi

I am looking for a standalone program which is able to do 360° Produkt views. It would be great if it is able to handle single images and/ or whole animations. If there is no such program or standalone thing, I would be happy about other recommendations or tools.

Thanks for the Help

Off-Topic / spare time project

« on: 2015-05-18, 10:50:04 »

Hello

I want to thank the Corona Guys again for programming a renderer, that makes animation a doable thing for me. With Vray it was always a pain .. with all the settings you can forget and all the little checkboxes that decide over live or die.

... Anyway.. a good friend and I started doing german let's plays for fun. We used Corona to render The intro, the Avatar, the header  and the Logo of our youtube channel and Facebook Page. (QuaKo Gaming)

And even if our comments still have room for improvement, the animation and images are smooth and professional ... so thanks for that, corona!

So If some of you guys are interested... feel free to have a look at it.


Have a nice Week!

[Max] I need help! / No Mask for forest objects

« on: 2015-03-31, 09:57:35 »

Hey Guys

Another question from me... I would like to have a mask from a forest object but no matter what I try, it doesn't work. I've tried with manual picking, object ID (for the forest object and the scattered objekts), monochromatic and RGB. But non of this works. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not possible at the moment.

thanks
