I wonder is there a reason to save in full float ever? No matter how hard i tried to find a difference between HF and FF, i couldn't find one, except file size. Even when there's sun directly visible.

Also i was surprized that there's a big difference at what exposure file is saved in 32bit. I always thought it is no matter.

Maybe, but it does so via vertex colours. That is somehow limiting.

Now, when they added support for Corona, it's worth to have this one in collection. Geomaps - very handy maps for geometry based shading.

Maybe the cooperation on the 2016 new phyisical camera has overcome that issue.

I wouldn't count on it :]

And i found maybe a bug.
After render region when you turn back to View from max frame buffer and when you press Render - corona give you Error creating File output. (I did't use that option in this file)
After re-open the scene all is working.

Could you please report it in bugs section. With simple scene where that bug appears attached, if possible.

Unfortunatelly you can't do pretty much anything with demo, it's extremelly limited. Although i found a way to sort a "hack" it via color correction map, but didn't have time to play with it much. But it sure looks worth attention.

MCG looks interesting. Apart from that i don't see anything that would make me want to leave 2014.

I've used substance maps that ships with max and get mixed results. Sometimes it comes out pretty decent, but most of the time it's total crap. Your bricks though, looks amazing. Only if pattern could be improved...

You can do it in 3ds max as well. Go to render settings, scroll down to bottm, in view dropdown list select desired viewport and lock it by pressing little lock icon next to it.

. Do you know if it's not possible technically or if Boomerlabs just didn't care to make it work in Corona?

Don't know. I installed geomaps demo and tried it with different renderers. Scanline renders curvature map just fine, Corona gives incorrect results and Mental Ray sees it as incompatible. Tension map OTOH just crashes max without warning. It's areal pitty, i was looking for similar maps for a long time. I may write to boomerlabs support, let's see what they have to tell.

Topics in feature requests and bug reporting sections are moved by Ondra himself. There must have been a firm reason to do so. Maybe this request was duplicated? Now, that you bumped this topic, let's wait for his response for a while. If not, than we can try to gently poke him to this question.

p.s. i was really excited when i saw that curvature map. It's a real boomer that it doesn't work in Corona, though.

Sweet! You're competing with Ondra and his team in terms of response :]
