Chaos Corona for Blender / Re: General concerns about Corona Renderer for Blender development

« on: 2020-04-29, 12:14:58 »

Since I switched from 3ds max to blender, the big downside is the inability to use corona render. I'm waiting for corona render impatiently and I will gladly pay for the license if necessary, so that it can be used :)

[Max] I need help! / Render element and question about caustics.

« on: 2019-06-24, 21:22:44 »

Hello, i have two questions:
1) Can I render only one render element, e.g. refract ?
2) Caustics. All materials in the scene must have refractive caustics enabled ? It's normal that after activating caustics i render setup rays / s decreases twice and the render time is twice as long ? Or i'm doing something wrong ?

Hello,
i have a problem with displacement map in the corners. They look bad, as if they are open. What should be set or what model to make it work well?
Disp set to 10cm.

[Max] Bug Reporting / corona 4 interactive render and hdri map

« on: 2019-05-23, 18:34:33 »

Hi,
i have problem with corona 4 (15.05 build) and hdri map. I'm using IR, changing HDRI rotation (loaded as corona bitmap), and nothing refreshes in IR window. In corona 3 everything worked good. Is this bug ?
Edit: HDRI loaded as vrayhdri map work good.

Hello,
i made render and saved .cxr file. Now i can't open it in corona editor and resume render from file.

Is it corona error or it's normal ?

Hello, my first complete render with corona. Inspiration:
https://evermotion.org/tutorials/show/8012/making-of-student-residence
https://corona-renderer.com/blog/davide-calabro-the-making-of-5th-avenue-witness-of/
I made street with 3 different lights: night after rain, evening after rain and sunny without rain.
3ds max, corona, PS.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Rain droph on asphalt

« on: 2019-02-15, 21:22:50 »

Also a note I think your rain is too dramatic. When you photograph rain at night you really shouldn't see the drops, unless it is in front of a light

True, i completely forgot about it, thanks for tip ;)

It would definitely be possible in Corona, it just might need a few different approaches to get it looking right.

The texture on the wet asphalt should be pretty easy - a combination of a droplet map (something like https://xoio-air.de/2012/water-droplets/), mixed with some noise/fractal maps to give you the randomisation.

A trickier element would be the splashes of water jumping back off the ground - but you could achieve that by scattering a few random blobs with CScatter or ForestPackPro.

When I have a spare 30 minutes I'll try and knock something up!

Thanks for link to texture, your idea was really good. I made test render. I used two planes: one with mix asphalt, and second 0,01cm higher with water material. The water mtl has addictional opacity and bump map, and plane has addictionaly displacement mod with drops on water tex. I'm happy with effect, but i think the rings should be smaller.
Bubbles and splashes scattered with FP lite, rain in PS.

how do you think what else to improve in terms of rain and its effects ?
I know, sky should be darker ;)
