Title: CoronaMtl with Self Illumination as LightMixElement
Post by: Tanakov on 2019-03-20, 10:03:23

Hello,
I would like to request to change the LightMix behavior
As for now all coronamtl's are excluded from Lightmix and moved to "rest", I would like an ability to "Include Corona Self Illumination".

Im working on a scene that will have lots of neon lights and I waned to make them change colors but also have reflections and render quickly

Its possible if I shell it and add 2 materials, Corona Light and Corona Mtl Thin, but that is not efficient.

Im making a scene with 20~ neons that I wish to control without render time spike.

I believe that would benefit the community as people often use self-illumination in interior and exterior scenes, and having all those in "Rest" creates difficulties.

Regards

Have you tried using layered materials? It will be slower then self illumination, but you will be able to control light color in lightmix.

You didn't read this part?

"we are working on turning the "rest" element into a proper element (with ability to denoise, save, etc.) and on further improvements, such as ability to add those self-illuminated objects to regular LightMix elements."

Ok, I missed that part really, but it is not on the Roadmap, so I guess I'm not going to hold my breath for that.

Thank you it's not that I don't know how corona works, I just want an extra feature that will allow for use of elements that are currently out of our reach

Including Corona Mtl with self illumination and Corona Light Mtl with "emit light" off is currently impossible due to technical limitations. This is however already reported and may be improved in the future.
