Just meant it as a jokey "listen to this guy he knows what he's talking about" post, after all it is Peter.

it would depend on the research we would do beforehand. This of course does not mean we will start working on it soon. At this moment we still dont see the benefits necessary to warrant the switch

Not a switch, but a way to utilize the powerful processors sitting idle during rendering, which everyone already has installed in their computer.
At least to be used for something, to contribute along CPU, if not used for full rendering.

This has already been discussed a few times. We would like to move post processing & denoising to GPU. These should be quite easily implementable and would not require an extensive redesign/rewrite of the rendering core itself. Unfortunately we're still swamped with other work (debugging, implementing new features) and it will probably take some time until we have the opportunity to implement these.

Ondra, maybe we should put GPU post processing/denoising acceleration as a separate feature to the poll :)

finally ;D imo, it is really worth it to implement. especially for animation work
+1!

Hi. Don't know if it's already requested, but I could really use the EV value to be animate able.

You should be able to animate the exposure and other tonemapping-stuff in the CoronaCameraModifier

Yes, but not in the render panel. And that's what I want :)

Aerial Perspective affecting only objects, not HDRI plugged into environment slot would be nice. Right now, Global Volume material affects as well the environment map, which by itself when photographed has natural aerial perspective.
There are currently two ways to do it I can think of:
1) Use 3ds Max native fog effect, which can be excluded from background
2) Change the "enviro distance" value in devel/debug rollout https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000021288
Both are not perfect, but hopefully usable in some cases.

Thanks maru. I'll give it a shot, although I would not rely on max's native and archaic effects ;)

I would love to have a simple aerial perspective post-effect option (preferably controllable from VFB), instead of relying on expensive Corona volumetric or unimpressive max's native fog solutions. So +1 from me for aerial perspective.

All parameters of corona's VFB to be animate able & sequence exported (for starters at least .png & .exr)

guys, sorry for this dumb question,
what is "simple aerial perspective post-effect" ?
