[Archive] Chaos Corona for Maya / Reelase compatible with Maya 2015 after A7 release?

« on: 2014-06-21, 10:48:51 »

How is it going Haggi!

Do you think we will be able to have a 2015 compatible release when A7 is released? I have a simple bifrost scene that I want to render.

Another question, will this work with Backburner in it's current status?

Cheers!

[Max] General Discussion / Avoid animation flicker - Suggested settings?

« on: 2014-05-10, 22:03:54 »

Hi there.

I used recently Corona in a project with more than great results :D

Now I have a project in front of me where I have to do a more complex 3D, similar to an Arch&Viz project, but not exactly that, so I'll have to do a video of a house with some interior animation, some object animation an so and I want to avoid flickering in the animation to avoid repeating render.

Are there any suggested settings for this? It's not going to be a static scene, it will contain moving objects.

Also, should I do a precalc phase fo all frames and save it, or corona does not work that way?

I can't think of more question right now, but I'm sure I'll have some more, so I'll ask than :)

BTW I'll use daily builds probably because I'll have to work in 2015 (probably, if I can stay at 2014 then I'll use A6 unless I see something in daily builds that makes me go for it)

Cheers!

[Max] Feature Requests / Alembic files as proxy

« on: 2014-04-14, 16:36:53 »

Having hte option to load alembic files as proxys can be great, it may expand Corona interoperability and lead to import big meshes, like liquid animations, directly to memory without the need of having it in the scene.

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Translucency Multiplier map

« on: 2014-03-19, 00:21:40 »

Hi there.

Right now we have a translucency color map, that's ok, but I would like a map slot for the translucency multiplier because the color map affects the color, not just the force.

For example if you put a noise black and white in the translucency color map and put a translucency of 1.0 you will get white and black colors no matter the diffuse color you have, so a map to control strenght of translucency can be great.

Cheers.

[Max] General Discussion / Probably a fool question but I'm a bit lost - Supported CPU's

« on: 2014-03-12, 12:37:46 »

Hi there.

I looked for that info, and I found something, but I'm a bit lost and unsure.

What are the supported CPU's by Corona?

I have a renderfam where I have different CPU's, core2quad q6600, xeon 3545, xeon 5545 and amd X6 1090t.

Can I render with my farm in all this CPU's?

Just to be clear, I'm not asking about distribute render, I'm asking about Backburner render.

Cheers.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona Sun bug

« on: 2014-03-12, 11:29:55 »

Hi there.

I found a problem with Corona Sun, if I place the sun in a layer and I hide the layer, the sun dissappears from the render, it has to be visible to be rendeable, it happens also when it's rendeable.

Corona Build: Mar 7 2014 00:05:09

Cheers.

Chaos Corona for Maya - Bugs / MayaToCorona - First try bug

« on: 2014-02-22, 01:05:50 »

Hi there.

I finally tried MayaToCorona, I just loaded the plugin, all went fine, I loaded the scene "firstOne.ma" and it worked fine, but when I canceled the render I got the attached error message.

Cheers.
