[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Memory usage breakdown improvements

« Last post by Aram Avetisyan on Today at 03:56:15 »

Hi,

The request is logged but no specific timeline can be given at this moment. It is in the group of "nice to have" things, so not with the highest priority.
Currenlty we have the memory report tool (Corona specific) and the idea is to enhance it from report-only tool to something that can be handy to proceed with investigation - e.g. selecting specific objects, maps/materials from it, putting them into a new view or selection set, filtering them in some way so user can investigate them conveniently.

It will be good to get some ideas from users too, how exactly they see (the UX also) of memory report tool. Simply listing objects is just an info, not a tool to get the objects quickly and check them.

We will surely update you in case of news.
And thanks for pinging and reminding about the things you want to see implemented, user activity is an important part in it :)

[Max] General Discussion / Re: Gamma Correction Tone Mapping Operator Removed - Bring it back!

« Last post by Tom on Today at 03:35:39 »

Agree 1000% here with everything that's been said: I was so happy to finally see a Gamma operator coming with C11HF1, and so disappointed to see it disappearing in HF2.

That's definitely a feature you want back in Corona. It looks like a basic fonctionality that should come by default. In the end I find myself paying for features I don't really need, like Phoenix, and at the same time basic functionalities like Gamma operator are missing ...
I don't think that wanting to protect novice users by restricting those who need more flexibility and usability is a good thing.

In the meantime, is there any other way to alter the gamma of the render except of doing it in a post production software? Any LUT file that would allow that? (I guess no, but just asking to be sure).

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Memory usage breakdown improvements

Hi Aram

Any word on if and when this may be implimented?

This tool is fantastic for helping to narrow down the objects with unnecessary displacement/crazy resolution textures etc. but would be even more helpful if there was an option to select the objects listed/put the material into the material editor, resize textures.

Sorry for the delay, this is reported now.

[Max] I need help! / Proxies making file take forever to save

« Last post by lupaz on Yesterday at 17:59:26 »

Corona 11.1
3DS Max 2023

With version 11 I've noticed that saving a file that contains a large number of proxies makes saving take a long time.
It happens with more than one file.
See video please.

Is there anything I can do other than go back to Corona 10?

Hardware / Another PC build

« Last post by foundandco on Yesterday at 17:01:50 »

Hi Guys,

I see a few recent threads on this topic aren't getting any replies, but I for one (with limited PC building knowledge) have found previous advice on this topic to be extremely useful.

…and through the various threads here and elsewhere, I’ve put together the below PC that to the best of my knowledge is the optimal spec for around 2.5k / 2.6k (£).

- Case - CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE

- Processor - AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16 Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.7GHz/144MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)

- Motherboard - ASUS® ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E)

- Memory (RAM) - 128GB PCS PRO DDR5 4800MHz (4 x 32GB)

- Graphics Card - 12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 Ti - HDMI, DP, LHR

- 1st M.2 SSD Drive - 2TB CORSAIR CORE XT MP600 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 5000 MB/R, 4400 MB/W)

- Power Supply - CORSAIR 750W RMe SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET

- Power Cable - 1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)

- Processor Cooling - CORSAIR H100x RGB ELITE HIGH PERFORMANCE CPU COOLER

- Thermal Paste - STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING

- Sound Card -  ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)

- Network Card - ONBOARD 2.5Gbe LAN PORT

- USB/Thunderbolt Options - MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS

- Operating System - Windows 11 Professional 64 Bit - inc. Single Licence

This will be purely for rendering with Corona (+ general use).

If anyone can see anything I missed, have wrong or could improve upon, it would be greatly appreciated (don't want to be spending any more than this).

I’ve built a PC before but will likely ask PC Specialist to do this one.

Thanks a lot
Chris

Jobs / Freelancer / Remote studio needed

Hi.

I run a small studio called Lightroom 3D which mainly focuses on Machine and Product rendering / animation.
I also have another business called CMG Designs which mainly focuses on Arch Viz.

I've been realy busy with the machine stuff the past few years so I haven't had much time for architecture.

I'd like to get into this area again but to do so I will need to outsourse the majority of work.

Most of the work will be external renders and some 3d floor plans.
You must also beable to create photomontages for planning. (I can provide the photos along with additional data needed to produce the shots.

Ideally I'm looking for a C4D arist but it's not the end of the world if you use Max.
I'm based in Ireland so you need to be based in or near Europe.
