[Max] Feature Requests / Aerial Perspective for HDRIs

« on: 2022-08-06, 23:32:47 »

Would it be possible to make aerial perspective to work with HDRIs?

It could only affect the appearance of the 3D objects and not the HDRI itself, since HDRIs already have this effect backed in .

[Max] I need help! / How to load proxies into new scenes without loosing all its materials?

« on: 2022-08-01, 05:50:58 »

We created a proxy that needs to be used in different scenes from the same project. Our intended workflow is to make further modifications to the original asset, re-export it as a proxy and then re-load it on the other scenes. However, we haven't been able to load it with materials in the new scenes. Any idea why this is happening?

[Max] Feature Requests / White balance eye dropper

« on: 2022-06-22, 20:04:34 »

I'm really missing a simple option for adjusting white balance by just eye-dropping a point of the image, like in Photoshop or Lightroom.



Would that be possible?

[Max] Bug Reporting / IR noise won't clear out if left mouse button is pressed after moving an object

« on: 2022-06-20, 17:27:05 »

I don't recall this happening in previous versions. So for example, if I move a chair to another corner of the room, IR will remain completely noisy as long as the left mouse button is pressed, even if I'm not moving the object anymore. Only after releasing the button, the image starts to show up.

From my perspective, IP should update right after we stop moving an object and not wait for the mouse button to be released.

I'm on Max 2022.1 update and CoronaCorona 9 (DailyBuild June 9, 2022).

[Max] Bug Reporting / Corona 9 repeatedly freezing on IR

« on: 2022-06-19, 05:16:44 »

I've been experiencing Max freezing a lot with the latest Corona version. Didn't pay attention at first but now I can see something is going on.

haven't been able to find a pattern in order to reproduce the problem, but I think it has happened when using IR on full screen. Last time it happened I checked the task manager and noted that CPU was at 3% and not at 100%. RAM was at 26% aprox.

Has anyone else experienced this?

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Front/Back map visibility in viewport

« on: 2022-06-17, 20:37:35 »

Hi,

Would it possible to make front/back maps visible in viewport instead of the current white color?

You could implement it so it always shows front texture, for example. This would help specially with vegetation assets which usually use this type of map as the base color.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Corona Physical material has way more noise/fireflies than legacy material

« on: 2022-06-12, 19:26:40 »

Has anyone noticed that?

It's very noticeable specially on metals and translucent materials. Maybe this is the reason why my scenes feel so noisy when compared to previous versions. Is there any reason for this?

Quick question: Is there any downside of attaching liquid and bottle objects into one mesh? Does it change the appearance of the material in any way?

[Max] I need help! / How to use Megascans displacement maps correctly?

« on: 2022-06-11, 23:27:02 »

What values should I use for displacement (min and max height) when rendering Megascans 3d models with Corona?

[Max] Feature Requests / Mapping Source Input for Textures

« on: 2022-06-11, 21:45:23 »

Any plans to bring this feature to Corona?

This would make things a lot simpler for us. Having to deal with so many UVRandomizers and TriplanarTex maps per material is very time consuming and often leads to mistakes.

[Max] Feature Requests / Prevent maps from disconnecting when using "Change/Material Map type" option

« on: 2022-05-03, 17:26:05 »

Hi Corona Team.

It would be great if when using the "Change/Material Map type" option for replacing a legacy Corona material with a new Corona Physical, the maps didn't disconnect from the new material. I usually use this option for manually converting materials to Corona, but it's a real pain having to re-connect all maps.

[Max] I need help! / Issue with "Invert colors" option in Corona Color Correct Texmap

« on: 2022-04-30, 03:52:49 »

I'm trying to convert a glossiness map into a roughness map by using the "invert colors" option on a Corona Color Correct Texmap. However, this gives me different results than just using the "invert" option on the texture itself. Am I missing something?

Please see attached images, where Image 01 is using "invert" option on the texture and Image 02 is using Corona Color Correct.

Hardware / Choosing a new x99 motherboard

« on: 2022-04-21, 18:43:45 »

Hi!

I'm looking for a new ATX x99 motherboard for my 5960x processor (LGA 2011-v3 socket).
Current one is having problems recognizing all RAM sticks.

Which one would you recommend? I don't play any games here, so ideally, I'd get the cheapest one that just allows me to run Max/Corona without any problem.

These are my other components:

RAM: GSkill Ripjaws4 8Gb (x8)
GPU: GeForce GTX 980Ti
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S
Case: Fractal Design Define S

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona 8 color picker taking too long to load

New color picker is taking more than 4 secs to open!
This makes it really difficult to use.
