Thank you! Sure you aren't rubbing it in that I've got obselete xeons?

No! I would never ;)

To clarify, Corona RT would be the exactly same renderer, just launched interactively with optimized parsing when only a part of the scene is changed.

I have no intention of doing second half-assed interactive renderer with half the features. Not now, not ever ;)

[Max] Corona Goodies - User Contributions / Hilbert curve generator

« on: 2012-09-20, 18:07:23 »

Very simple program I wrote some time ago to demonstrate the hilbert space-filling curve (used for determining bucket order).

Just run the .exe, clicking left button on the canvas increases resolution, right one decreases

[Max] Corona Goodies - User Contributions / Obsolete CPU detection

Here is a simple utility, that tells you, if your CPU supports the full-speed Corona with latest instructions. If not, you have to use the legacy build, which is quite slower.

To use it, simply run the exe, and see, what it prints in the popup about SSE 4.1 instructions - supported means you can run the full-speed Corona build

Ocram: I'm pretty sure everything in this poll will be implemented sooner or later, but the question is: what do the users need first(!) ? I'd love to have DR too but I would prefer some basic things at this early stage of development ;)

Exactly ;))


rawalanche & loocas: I'm agreeing with Loocas on this one - Corona is already fast, so I thought it would be better to add something entirely new instead of speeding it up more. But evidently people want it ;)

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Re: Scatter to have some form of collision detection

So I could scatter teapots over an ocean surface and they move with the waves - that sort of thing.
Whilst we're on about scattering - an update button so if I change say the noise on the distribution obj then the instanced object positions are updated.

Thats already implemented in the newest build, or at least I hope ;)

HSV variation will be through special texture (its in other request here)

What do you mean by animated distribution object with instanced object fixed?

Since there is so much to implement, I would like to know, what do you want the most.

Everyone has multiple votes, so you cannot simply check everything ;). Choose wisely. I'll use the results as a guideline to what is needed the most.

Done (some basic implementation) ;)

Who says Modo does not have crappy API either? ;)

Its not a bug, so I've moved it to general discussion ;) - sharper texture gives you sharper surface ;)

Awesome! Somebody just got himself life-time free Corona licence :D

But seriously, Pinkie Pie looks creepy as hell ;)
