Daily Builds 1.6

Considering new PBR workflow wouldn't it make more sense to have reflection and glossiness values "reversed", reflection to 1 and glossingess to 0.

+1 That make sense

+1 good subtle adjustment imho

In that case, feature request it is.

[Ludvik Koutny]

It absolutely would not. AFAIK even 0 glossiness reflection still computes reflection rays. So you would have a material that defaults to pretty much diffuse material, but is a bit slower than current diffuse material for no reason. Simple diffuse material should be a default, and if that default would ever change, it would be sensible to have reflection at 1.0, but glossiness should stay 1.0 as well, so new people are actually aware there is some reflection going on.

Sorry for another request reminder but I forgot about these the last time I asked.

ICC profile support, threads:

And this one, excluding backplate from DOF calculations (either on Direct Visibility maps in the Corona environment tab or generally as an option in CoronaShadowCatcherMtl for example), thread:
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,8181.0.html

Both would be important to have in the long run, but I happen to need the latter very often in my daily work, I guess most product viz artist need this at some point.

I miss daily builds Ondra!

To be honest I'm looking forward to get new dailybuild with triplanar mapping :-)

AFAIK it will not be a Corona feature. It's now added in the 3ds Max update.

BBM is only available with the update for max 2017 though, so getting triplanar mapping in Corona 1.6. would still be good for all those on previous max versions.

We need to stabilize 2 or 3 features, and we are ready to go out ;)

Speaking of improving and stabilizing - there is one thing which bothers me for quite a while.....

Could you send us instructions how to reproduce this? You could contact us about this at https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

I read your post, but still did not understand fully what was done here, and how to reproduce this. Just two guesses:
1. Maybe it has something to do with the wrong UHD Cache settings in 1.5? Have you tried this in 1.5.2? ("reset settings" in scene setup is required for the UHD Cache to work correct if the scene was previously saved with wrong settings!)
2. Did you drastically increase or decrease light intensities in LightMix? If so, then this is expected. LightMix should be used mainly to change lights' color, or to change their intensity only subtly.

Hi guys,

Are raw passes planned in a near future ? I use to comp my passes (Vray) in post in order to adjust texture albedos (diffuse filter) without affecting other image components (lighting, reflect...). This way, color correction become much more conservative. Currently, there is no diffuse filter equivalent in corona. example here

We can even look futher by implementing this kind of automatic masking and the ability to apply passes correction directly by clicking on the concerned object in the frame buffer. This+lightmix would be awesome !

Thanks Ondra! And good luck with stabilizing these 2 or 3 features:)

How about CShading_RawComponent? :)

[romullus]

AFAIK it will not be a Corona feature. It's now added in the 3ds Max update.

I really hope it's not official :[

Damn Autodesk, they wait 10 years to implement trivial feature and then manage to release it at the most improper time :/
