My Corona Tests

[Midge]

Wanted to see how far I could get with Corona in under an hour. :)
Rendering was 20 passes in about 12 mins.
Some post in Nuke.

that's some nice tonemapping, very subtle very nice

Thanks guys, I've got a small animation as well.
Details and scene file can be found on my blog.

Cool !

Just a quick mood study of a simple scene. Happy New Year! :)

The brick's look awesome, are they geometry or displacement?

[Midge]

Brick was done using displacement from a MightyTiles map. Was happy to see it worked with Corona. :)

Cheers man, I might look into mightytiles...any tips for getting such a clean displaced result in Corona? I often have the nasty black seam problem or edge overlaps (I know you can apply a smooth modifier, but I don't like the way the way that affects the objects shading).

wow !!
how did you setup that displacment.
I have also test mighty tile but the displacment look weird even if i make a smooth of 180° on my wall

[Midge]

All I did was select all the polygons (Edit Poly) and first clear all the smoothing groups.
Then, with everything still selected, just set everything to the same smoothing group (1 in my case).

For the displacement settings, set the size (view) to 0,5 pixels and slowly up the iterations while test rendering to get the desired sharpness.

For the MightyTiles side of things I ran it through a Color Correction node set to "Monochrome" to make sure I've got grayscale values.
Then I added a micro noise map to it using a mix map set to 10% mix to give it just a little roughness.

thanks for the tip.

Three grass shots done with Corona, promo material for my new Grass Generator script.
Everything was scattered using Corona Scatter.
