[Max] General Discussion / Question regarding Processors

« on: 2014-10-24, 07:43:09 »

Hi Ondra and the rest of the team!

Has anyone noticed a performance difference between AMD & Intel processors? I have 4 slaves two of them (the Intel) have 2.67GH and the other two slaves have an AMD with 2.4GH of speed. The rest of the slaves are built exactly the same, with the same RAM, etc. But, the Intel machines seem to render in Corona 10 times faster than the AMD machines, which are rendering literally forever!!!!! I can see it in DR, whereas the AMD machines do 4 passes while the Intel ones do 40 passes in the same amount of time.

I'll keep doing some tests, but I thought it would be good to document this if it has not been yet.

[Max] Feature Requests / IES Viewer incorporated in Corona

OK, did not see this as a requested feature, but an IES Viewer for the lights would be awesome if it was incorporated. If it already is, please someone tell me where it is, now I'm downloading a 3rd party viewer to find an IES light I want to use in the project.

[Max] I need help! / Animation Flickering

« on: 2014-10-11, 14:14:28 »

Hi there! I want to start using Corona as my main production renderer, but just to give an idea, after I do still shots for architectural renderings, I send them to the next team that will do an animation of my renderings. Since I'm not savvy at animation, and I saw some posts on CG Talk from last year, is there still a flickering problem on version 7.1 of Corona when doing animations? I do a lot of interior scenes. Thanks for your data!
