[Max] General Discussion / Did you or your studio upgraded to Corona 12.1 ?

« on: 2024-12-02, 14:22:33 »

HI, i just want to know your experiences with the latest updates to corona, we are still on corona 11, i have seen too much problems with the last two updates, bad memory management, slower IR, problems with forest and so on, are you still on the fence to update or it is smooth sailing for production ??

Maybe the developers have some rough numbers of users on each version?? but maybe that's confidential :(

« on: 2024-12-02, 14:09:11 »

This guy knows a lot about computer graphics and its doing a hell of a job against industry juggernaut Epic to try to solve Lumen bad implementation.
If you are really technical you will love the videos.

I had this one in the back of my head for a long time, we had a bit of time in the office (Metrica visuals) to make a personal project so i jumped to find information, plans, photos materials and all the props for the project, 30 hours of work and a bunch of rendering time later i had 35 views of the project, here is a selection of my favorite ones :)

This time i saw a photograph of the gundari hotel by Block 722 and photographers Ana Santl, Martha Vosdou and decided to explore them in 3d.
As always this was 3dsmax and corona render :)

A personal project developed inside Metrica Visuals in me free time
I fell in love with the architecture that was discarded in a current project designed by 5 SOLIDOS. I knew i wanted to explore it and give it the attention it deserved.

[Max] Feature Requests / Corona Distance only at render time

« on: 2024-06-19, 21:27:55 »

We have a very big terrain 8km * 6km, it was all working smoothly until we started to use corona distance as a mask for a corona layer material applied to the terrain, now every vertex movement is as slow as it gets. It would be a big time saver if the corona distance just be computed at render time .

We are using corona 11.2 max 24.2.1  Win 10

[Max] Feature Requests / Faster and cleaner DOF

« on: 2024-06-14, 22:22:43 »

Corona could benefit of a faster implementation of the dof, also we are missing a lot of lens effects.
Im aware of the DOF highlight solver, but right now its useless because corona denoiser is too bad compared with intel one and the noise level that would work with corona denoiser is too time consuming..

Check this out http://lentil.xyz/  it could be a good pairing for corona.

[Max] I need help! / Corona Caustics bug ? useless for animation?

« on: 2023-09-01, 01:24:36 »

Hi, im having a headache with corona caustics. After a LOT of trial and error to get decent looking caustics i started to render a test animation, to my surprise no frame gets similar caustics, so i dig deeper to finally render THE SAME frame with all methods, PT+PT UHD still, UHD animation and 4k still and animation, no matter what the frames came with different looking caustics...Im not moving the time frame or materials, but it will never look the same...

using corona 10.1 max 2023

[Max] I need help! / Corona Out of core missing files with different machines and languajes

« on: 2023-06-29, 14:59:13 »

Corona Out of core is giving us some problems, every time we open a scene made on computer A the Computer B shows missing files and the corona warning that out of core cant find the files. We narrow the issue to different languages and Different users names inside folder structure.
Is there a better way to map that corona folder for it to work on different machines ?

[Max] Feature Requests / Ram Usage overview, maybe more information?

« on: 2023-03-21, 15:58:28 »

Hi corona developers, i want to raise a hand for a complete ram usage overview, right now i can use the Csv file that corona generates (maybe a bit easier to see, even before ram gets low ?? ) but that file just has texture ram usage, were can I see the geometry ram usage ?
Maybe a more robust file to see all the statistics ?
