There is no Chinese version of Corona planned right now.

I see that chaos cloud integration is on the roadmap for v10. Not expecting anything or planning a workload around it so dont worry. But im just curious as to what level of integration into the product it is intended to have and does it use the export scene function or will it still need to pull all of the textures and scene files, zip them up and repath the bitmaps etc?

No news at present on what this initial implementation may look like, or even a guarantee it will happen (roadmaps are always tentative).

Hi Devs - latest daily..... when i have IR going and i save out the VFB and overwrite an image (ie JPG)  - its freezes max.

All fine here, no issues whatsoever.
How exactly this is happening? Is the output/scene relatively large/heavy?

[shortcirkuit]

i wouldnt say overly heavy - its been happening since the last 2 x dailies.

New DOF highlights solving looks interesting!

I'm curious - is this purely for DOF or is it transferrable to other areas too? (Caustics?)

[TomG]

Purely for DOF, and purely for highlights (non-highlight DOF blurring won't show any improvement)

After renaming Corona UVWRandomizer to Corona MappingRandomizer it became indistinguishable from Corona MultiTexmap when collapsed, especially when creating large and complex  material trees in the slate material editor.

I have already confused them several times when working, so I wanted to suggest that you rename it back for the convenience of users, thanks.




PS. but in general, in my opinion, it’s high time to make a configurable number of inputs and outputs for this map, or add this functionality to corona bitmap or directly to coronaphysicalmtl in the advanced options section, why produce these identical copies of the randomizer with settings (-1 1) (-1 1) (0 360) complicating the material tree.

Hey,

We have renamed all of the maps for example CMultimap instead of CoronaMultimap. Maxscript names should not be affected.

Cheers,

Rowan

I agree the new DOF highlight Solver looks great!

[Dalton Watts]

It would be great to be able to control tone mapping parameters directly in the unified lister. In my opinion, as it is now, it requires opening an additional dialog box which I don't find very practical.

With DB 5-23-2024 and Max 2024.1 the permanent freeze when hitting 'Ctrl-C' button in the VFB is back.  You have to kill Max, waiting doesn't help.  I will try to remember to get a dump next time. 

This bug had been gone for me in Max 2023 (and also previous DBs of Corona 10.)  I upgraded both Corona and Max at the same time so I'm not sure which broke.  Latest Windows 10, 3970x, 2080Ti.
