[Max] General Discussion / Re: Corona Subscription Update by CHAOS

On Chaos Scans, a Chaos Scans license is a Chaos Scans license and not tied to a particular render engine - this means if you own a Scans license from V-Ray Premium, it will work with Corona, and if you own a Scans license from Corona Premium, it will work with V-Ray. Same with Phoenix, and Player :)

Thats good to know. However, a corona/vray bundle would be nice, as I think, there people like me, who own and use both.
Also, as I wrote above, a unified CHAOS RENDERNODE would be good, but I know, you would make less money :-P

The biggest bummer is, that you now have to pay for rendnodes.

Corona WS + 5 Rendernodes was 349,- . Now it is Corona Solo (322,80 ) plus 538,80 for the rendernodes. Thats an increase from 349,- to 861,60! Or did I missed something. ( I am not talking about the granted offer for longerterm user).

As Corona and Vray is one family, I really hoped, that AT LEAST, when I have to pay for rendernodes now, the rendernodes are usable for corona AND vray !!!

And as Benny said, do we get any bundles vray/corona, as with the premium versions, we have to pay twice for some products ?

Or does the corona Chaos Scans gives access to the vray Chaos Scans too?

Lots if unanswered questions in my eyes.....

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: New Corona Physical Material (PBR) playground!

Hi

i am wondering, why isnt the corona converter converting the 3dsmax Physical Material to a Corona Physical Material ? These materials get skipped.

Also is it possible to convert a Corona Physical Material back to a legacy one for backwards compatible reasong? That would be really good. I know you would loose some feature...

[Max] I need help! / Lots and lots of white blotches with new caustics

« on: 2019-07-25, 10:38:35 »

Hi guys,

i have an issue with the new caustics, getting tons of bright blotches in my rendering (see attachment).
I dont use any refractions caustics in the scene. Also the "Generate caustics from environment" is unchecked.
There is no HDRI used, which could have bad exposure.

Did anyone encounter something similar? As there are not really any parameters to tweak the caustics, I am a bit out of options :(

Thanks for any help
Markus

I know it has been a while since something was posted here. But what is the status on IR with DR?
Is this still something you are investigating or did you dropped the idea completely?
