[Max] I need help! / Corona multi map not working in reflect BG override slot

« on: 2023-02-08, 13:10:49 »

I understand it's probably quite a unique use case but having the option would be advantageous.

[Max] I need help! / Shadow bokeh effect?

« on: 2019-12-17, 19:43:50 »

Not sure what to call this but is it possible to achieve this effect without workarounds? I'm guessing not.

Anyone have any experience of this. I'd imagine you'd have to fake it by creating a tree mask and blurring with something like lenscare, then using that to cast a shadow?

Interested to hear peoples thoughts. :)

[Max] Resolved Bugs / railclone random materials not working.

Hi

Just wanted to get the latest word on this issue. Having to disable the instancing engine is not ideal of course.

Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Alternative to multitexture / bercon tile mode

« on: 2019-03-05, 15:55:08 »

I'm following this pretty nifty tutorial

It demonstrates a pretty cool technique for creating large tiling surfaces. However the combination of multitexture and Bercon tile doesn't work with interactive mode.

Being a big part of my workflow I don't want to ditch interactive mode.

Does anyone know an alternative to multitexture/Bercon tile to tile bitmaps in this way. Is there a way to do it with Corona Multimap for instance?

Thanks,

Would be great if you could select a custom mesh to represent the High poly.

Is there a pass in corona that renders out just the diffuse without lighting?

[Max] Feature Requests / Checkbox: Reset transforms when exporting proxy

« on: 2017-08-08, 12:50:52 »

Hi, just as the title says really. Not sure of the feasibility of this, but perhaps it would be a useful option when creating new proxies with the exporter.

Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Corona proxy getting flipped each time it's changed/imported.

« on: 2017-08-07, 19:38:38 »

I have a modular building part that I need to make adjustments to every now and then. For some reason every time I resave the proxy object it gets flipped and moved 90 degrees in 2 directions. Causing a lot of pain at the moment because the blocks fit together into a much bigger building and each time I make a change i have to move the individual pieces back. Any ideas?

[Max] I need help! / Corona Multimap help

« on: 2015-08-24, 20:02:36 »

Struggling to get the results I want with Multimap in diffuse. I've created a clump of grass and am trying to get each blade to be a slightly different shade.

When I set the Multimap to Instance it sets the colour of the clumps as a whole. When I set it to Primitive it seems to affect the individual poly or triangle.

Is it possible to have each blade a random different shade of green. I guess I could use material ID but then the colours would match for each clump I think.

Any suggestions?

Edit

From a performance point of view when making grass is it better to scatter a clump or individual blades?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Blend material giving odd coloured reflections.

« on: 2015-06-12, 13:54:24 »

Getting blue/green where I'm expecting red or just grey. Is this a known bug with blend material or am I doing something stupid? :)

A minor thing I know. But I'd love to see this button on the actual frame buffer also, would be so handy.

[Max] I need help! / Correct way to model liquid in a container in Corona?

« on: 2014-11-06, 14:10:12 »

Hi all.


In Vray I believe the correct way is to have the liquid model intersect the container (glass) slightly, this seems to give the incorrect result in Corona? Unless I'm mistaken.


What's the best way to create this setup in Corona?
