Hey Guys, for a new project im testing animated caustics right now and i'm actually very impressed and happy with first rnd results.

What i noticed, is a slight light flickering under the surface? Has anybody noticed that?

I've tried to switch from PathTracing+UHDCache to both Path Tracing and increasing the PassLimit, but i still got this flickering?
Thanks in Advance!

I totally understand your point!

I was just wondering about, if there's a good and free motionblur solution for the adobe side of compositing. I may be wrong but i think the majority of archviz artist who are doing animations with velocity passes, do their compositing in Adobe software and wont include Fusion into their pipeline.

As far as RSMB+Corona settings, i've tried EVERYTHING (World/Camera, offset, flipping channels,.......). I still got glitches.

Anyways, thanks for the quick respone!

Cheers!

Thanks so much!

Yeah you're right, but in out team the Sun LightselectElement always has the same string so this works fine. Not the ideal solution if someone else would work with this, but thats not necessary here.

Thank you for your help!

[Max] I need help! / Motion Blur not working (RSMB)

« on: 2020-12-01, 15:05:48 »

Hey guys, just a general question.

I already read a couple of topics here on the Forum about RSMB and problems which are going along with using that AE plugin. I still have no solution about these problems. I'm using the corona velocity pass with RSMB in After Effects and always habe glitches in my motion blur. I also saw that you guys did a tutorial on youtube to show how to correctly apply motion blur in Fusion.

Is it possible for you to make a complete workflow tutorial for people which do their compositing in Adobe CC (After Effects, Premiere, RSMB Plugin,...) because i think most of the archviz industry is doing their compositing in Adobe software anyway.

I read in one post, that you can't locate the Problem because RSMB is a paid Plugin? But why? Is it not possible that Corona and RSMB Devs exchange eath other, so we can find whats necessary for RSMB to work?

Thanks in Advance!

Because we develop an inhouse toolbar where we want to easiliy add and remove Lights. Opening the render elements dialog isn't qick enough for me.

Is that possible?

I know the workaround to delete the Element entirely and genereate a new one with all included lights, but this is messing up the sorting of lightselect elements in the coronabuffer. so is there a way to merge them onto an existing one?

Thanks!

Goodness gracious!

I'm developing a Corona Inhouse Toolbar for 3 years now. That tool would have saved me hours of research!

Thank you!

Hi guys, is the "Fast preview denoise during render" button from the performance tab accessable via maxscript? Can't find the reference anymore!

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, i just don't feel those reflective caustics, they look a bit weird to me and not just 100 percent real.

Yeah my current workaround is pretty the same. I just render the entire scene without caustics, and then a second render with "render selected" of the water material and comp it in post. Not very agile but works fine.

Does anybody know if this is a planned feature to have a caustics button also in the reflection tab?

I also think that it is very rude what has been written the last days on this forum.

1. Tentative means Tentative. Software Development isn't like baking a cake.

2. The only reason the release is delayed is, because the want to give you a stable realease.

3. I also dont think it is really smart to switch to a new version of your render engine just before starting a big new project, even if the new features sound lovely to you.

Hey Corona Community and Dev`s;

So happy about Caustics but some strange things happenend in a recent scene:

The Caustics on my water material work really well but there also some caustics on the surrounding flooring which defenitly are coming from the window reflection? But the glass material from the window has no caustics avtivated. Is it possible to exclude the window material from global caustics or am i doing something wrong?

Here is a GIF:



Thanks you!
