[Max] Feature Requests / CoronaToon

« on: 2015-03-24, 02:28:41 »

Hi, would just like to request that something like Vray Toon be implemented. It's great to get edges on the geometry without the quads—especially for archviz when you're searching for initial views. Thanks—Corona is awesome!

[Max] I need help! / bouldering wall material

« on: 2015-03-18, 19:15:06 »

How would you guys approach modeling and texturing something like this? This guy did it very successfully!

Is it feasible to use a texture that creates the bump and undulations of the rock wall, or would that look fake in your opinion? I'm just getting into visualization so am not a very sophisticated user. Any direction to resources that could help such an endeavor would be hugely appreciated!

Work in Progress/Tests / Cliff House WIP

Hey guys, here is a view I've just started for overlooking a house set in a cliff. Where do you see room for improvement? Thanks so much for your eye!

Work in Progress/Tests / arch. design project

« on: 2014-11-18, 21:52:52 »

I'm an architecture student working on some renderings for a project using Corona. I'm not a very sophisticated visualizer but welcome any comments, and would particularly appreciate any specific suggestions you have that I can implement to make the renderings better. Thanks in advance!

Work in Progress/Tests / noise issue

« on: 2014-11-10, 14:54:02 »

I'm setting up a basic apartment scene and am noticing some patchy noise in the render -- which I actually haven't seen before with Corona. I think it has something to do with the room not being directly lit. Is there a setting change that can address this?

Work in Progress/Tests / Arch. competition

« on: 2014-10-19, 18:59:30 »

Hi forum, I'm an architecture grad student with a strong interest in visualization. I really enjoy rendering (especially in Corona) though I have so much more to learn. Here are some images in progress which are for a design competition I'm working on right now; the project is a boutique hotel in the woods in china. I rely on photoshop a lot in making these; which I wish wasn't the case.

[Max] I need help! / CML library grass material

« on: 2014-10-15, 05:13:33 »

Hi guys, first of all thank you to Admin for posting this grass material, which looks great.

http://coronamaterials.com/material/grass-displacment/

I brought the material into my model and tried applying it to various surfaces, increasing the displacement in order to be visible in my scene, and the result is very strange and clearly not like the material sample. What am I doing wrong? I tried messing with the size of the map and tiling but the results don't change?

[Max] I need help! / Wire texmap 'All edges' option stopped working

« on: 2014-10-06, 01:22:56 »

I was using the Corona wire texmap to generate some hidden line renders and it was working beautifully with the 'all edges' box unchecked. Inexplicably however my machine started rendering the same views with ALL of the mesh edges shown, yet I still have the all edges box unchecked. I haven't changed anything with the file. I tried restarting 3ds max and remaking the material but that hasn't resolved the problem. Any ideas why this would happen or how to fix? Thanks so much!

P.S. attached is a screensot showing the material I'm using as well as the image I'm rendering. You can see how it is rendering the mesh seams (which it wasn't before) on the stairs and columns.
