It is on by default, if you have imported an old scene there is an advanced material checkbox called legacy A7 Mode,  untick this to change from the old BRDF to GGX :)

Wohoooo, you're super awesome guys!
Already bought my own license)
I wish you conquer the olympus of visualization and become a leader among gods of visualization, like vray,maxwell etc.
Well, i already made all projects in last half of the year in corona and pretty happy with it's functionality and super simplicity. Literally, i can't sit now in vray or any other complicated render programs and waste all this hours for setup render itself and shaders. IR in corona is like magic!) i'm currently working with super heavy interior scene (40 000 000 polys) and IR working there! well, with some slowdowns, but anyway working!!!
I really like corona. thank you for your hard work and instant response to requests from users about innovations and mistakes!

Wish you good luck, guys! You're awesome!

Hi, going to ask here also since i'm not sure i asked about this problem on wrong topic (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,4946.0.html). So, I installed Corona 1.0 and can't figure out why my 3dsmax 2015 (or 2014) won't start anymore. Wondering if anyone else has encountered this kind of error?

Happy Birthday Corona, it's a boy!
How is the roadmap for "adaptivity/speed improvment"?
Kinda curious about that.

Just as a side note:
Quote
Displacement parsing is now multithreaded (up to 450% improvement in i7)
Bad grammar, it's "improvement on an i7" (as in on an i7 plattform) or "improvment with an i7" (as in with an i7 processor)
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Ondra on 2015-02-26, 00:32:45
fixed. If you spot more typos, please do inform us.

we will work on adaptivity during this year. Hopefully 2.0 will be significantly faster because of it

Post by: tomislavn on 2015-02-26, 09:30:28
Just wow guys, massive congrats :) this is really amazing news! I must say that the feature that impressed me thoroughly was that insane Corona IR and since I haven't been a part of daily access testing it was a shocker! I mean, I thought that Modo's IR is great... but this, this most definitely blows it straight out of the water!!! Stunning work, this will be one great year for rendering :) I am off to test some other interesting features!

Bought a license immediately to support you asap, used it as "demo" for ages anyway ;)

EDIT: Oh and one quick note - In the Corona VFB render stamp field it still says Corona Renderer Alpha by default unless you manually change it - even though it is a 1.0 version. Just a minor tweak but wanted to mention it.

Tomislav Novak

No proper API yet, but there is this: https://corona-renderer.com/wiki/corona_shade_context
Let me know if you need some functionality exposed via the Execute() method

Alright :) great! Just one question though, considering our license screenshots here in the forum.. I have noticed that each one of us almost has different "Validity" date (25.03.2015, 24.03.2015, 27.03.2015) - what's up with that? Does it calculate the date by customer time zone? Might be a stupid question but I just wondered after seeing the screenshots here :)

We have not implemented CoronaBlend yet because we are not sure yet about how exactly it should look (e.g. how much physically based to make it). But you can get the same functionality using nested blend materials

Mother of God what is this! I've heard about Corona long time ago...so long that I even forget about it. Yesterday I've stumble upon again, and I didn't know nothing about this render, but I was reading on the various of forums how they praise this render, so I've said to myself why don't give a try...and boy OHHH! The simplicity is killer! I am amazed! I've installed this render half hour ago, and basically already know what to do, if you are coming from vray like I am. It has even his own scatter tool (bye bye multiscatter). Simple and efficient render. I've registered 5min ago just to say this...MY GOD, this is what I've been looking for! :D

So I'm gonna grab myself a year of FairSaaS, but before I do one question:

Does it kick in after the 45 trial days or do those not matter and the year would start from purchase/activation date?

Just curious, its not gonna deter me.

It starts immediately - no 45 days grace period afaik. At least that's the case with FairSaaS monthly sub.

I think i will go for 1 year FairSaaS subscription. I'm running the demo for now.

The Interactive Rendering is simply amazing. No need for hi-end graphic cards and the result is the same as the final render.
Probably the most important feature that fits my needs for product visualization previews.

Congrats to the team.

You can start using the license about 15 seconds after purchase ;). And it is valid for exactly 1 year, i.e. not only until the end of the year or similar bullshit.

SairesArt: thanks. Any more problems? We should make something like "10% off for 3 spotted errors" ;)

Did you change your regional settings, specifically decimal point separator, in windows?

VFB spinners changing to strange values like 999 - please refer to this guide:

Post by: ylucic on 2015-02-27, 16:19:49
thank you. that worked :D...
but after you put unrealistic numbers in the colormap tab some spinners get back to normal when you input correct parameters. in the WB its ok ...you put 5555555555 and turns to 999.0 , then you go back to put 6500 for instance, in other ones this doesn't work....this only happens on the VFB, when you put parameters in the Camera/Exposure/Tone mapping tab they all work well ..
sorry for the offtopic

Im really happy to see how 1.0 works, my thoughts:
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Cyanhide on 2015-03-01, 12:31:07
Well I skipped the 45 days for free and activated my siaas or how ya spell it. Its an amazing render that helped my company immensely.
Very proud to be a corona user.

My one and only thought : Y U NO REGION RENDER?  This is the only and most annoying thing about corona :p it wouldn't be the first time I wanted to pick region and end up with crop selected.... the horror... the horror man.
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Ondra on 2015-03-01, 12:38:03
Do yo mean region render for corona VFB? That is planned for one of the first monthly builds, which you will get for free with your license, so stay tuned ;)

For now there is a workaround: switch to 3dsmax VFB, select a region and render away, or switch back to corona vfb, the region should still be there.

I found the quick fix, its merely an annoyance.

Keymaster : will it update automatically or will I have to install stuff?
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Ondra on 2015-03-01, 20:31:39
there are no automatic updates... yet ;)
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: kahein on 2015-03-02, 11:55:19
So when update comes, do we have to install them only on workstation or on all the node ?
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Ondra on 2015-03-02, 12:19:54
updating all nodes is preferred, as there can be important bugfixes. It is just a matter of copying over 3 files - I Advise you to make a script for it - I am using such solution for development.

But currently the daily builds are 100% compatible with the stable version
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Tanakov on 2015-03-03, 09:36:40
Ondra you changed your name, is the money flow corrupting you yet?

Is there a chance that corona will work with some fluid/smoke symulation plugins? FumeFX etc.
I would love to have a chance to use it with corona.

Are you planing to add an updated list "to do" or "wip" to your Feature request?
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Ondra on 2015-03-03, 17:48:00
Yes, but you will also notice I was kicked out of iluminati ;).

Support for more plugins is planned. For list of stuff we plan on doing first, see "What is Next?" and "Continuous development" here: https://corona-renderer.com/blog/corona-renderer-1-3ds-max-release/

Your shop refuses my credit card and Paypal, both. My guess is because it's lacking the Verified by Visa -system. I'd like to get a 12 month SAAS while the discounts are still in place - any suggestions?
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!

Can you submit a support ticket with your issue? I think this would be the best way.

Since the solution doesn't seem to be a quick one and the promo ends on the eleventh, is there a way to work out a delayed payment to get the promo discounts? The problem is not on my end, it's the online shop you've chosen - in an e-mail response they stated their system does not yet recognize the verification process of pin number/password which Verified by Visa requires in some cases, which leaves me unable to pay for my license at least until I get my card approved by Paypal but since it takes a few bank days to confirm the card holders identity, and there's a weekend between those days, I'm out of luck that route also.

As a side note, to clarify: Looking at the discounts, Rebus states "Validity: until 2016-02-25" would this mean I get the discount render points for every Corona license I buy within that timeframe, or does it mean I get the points if I buy Corona while it's on discount, and the points themselves are valid until 2016-02-25?

EDIT: I'm posting this here in case someone else has similar problems with payment. Apart from this post I'll continue dealing with the issue through customer support.

Post by: Ondra on 2015-04-09, 16:09:56
you will be getting rebus credit for every purchase during the year, and you will stop getting credit in February 2016, and the unused credit you already got will also expire at that point. So yes, you will get the credit if you purchase after our sales promo is over.

We can give you a discount to compensate the promo offer if you'll be unable to pay when the promo is active.

Thank you Ondra, this saved my day. Hopefully your online store provider is able to add the Verified by Visa system soon as it seems to be an issue sometimes. Should I just contact you via PM next week when my credit card has been approved by Paypal so this can be sorted out? Thanks!

Ondra,

I assume this has been discussed before but I want to make my voice heard and see if there is a way.

I'm not a fan of the subscription model and would like to purchase box and then pay for subscription. However, not being able to work on my laptop to and from work (I have a long commute) is a major bummer for me. iToo and many others allow a second license for laptops, is this to prevent people misusing the system?

Could I sacrifice my render nodes and instead be able to use it on a laptop?

Is there a way to pay extra for a dongle?

1.1 is done and we are currently testing it internally. will be released in daily builds when there are no problems in automated tests

I hate the delay, but setting up office, new hardware, and hiring people was a gargantuan task

It's cool! do you what you need to do. 

I find that people sometimes get obsessed with getting new things, and forget that what they already have actually works just fine for 99% of the tasks they need to perform. I do this myself, I just love new things! new toys! new buttons!  The faster the better, but from a commercial work point of view, I don't think I need too much more, other than a few obvious.

anyway keep up the good work! I too will be looking forward to the daily build.

well we promised something, and it is getting late. No bullshit here, people are right to expect updates. I am getting nervous, but we had to bring in more people first to handle the load. But starting from last week, there is new experienced programmer working full time on Corona, so I hope we will get on track soon.

We will, probably together with 1.1 release.

Robin (the new dev guy) will also go to EUE with us, so if you will be in Utrecht this year, you can get a beer with all of us ;).

people are right to expect updates.

Please all involved: take your time. Bugfixing / testing is so much more important than new shiny features (except some basic ones of course). This is why I hate Au you-know-who so much. Having to deal with years old bugs while not being able to use the half-implemented marketing stuff (aka "new features") makes me more than angry. But all I can read about arrangements made for the future of Corona makes me confident.

Good Luck!

Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: Ondra on 2015-05-28, 14:18:56
it is simple - there are daily builds/1.1 = more features, less stable, and 1.00.03 (upcoming) = bugfixes only
Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: fobus on 2015-05-28, 15:05:52

Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!

it is a spectrum - they are more stable than dailies

[...] 1.1 = more features, less stable, and 1.00.03 (upcoming) = bugfixes only

Sure but you can have 9 out of 10 people fixing bugs or 9 out of 10 people doing new features.

Good Luck!

Title: Re: Corona 1.0 is out!
Post by: romullus on 2015-06-01, 14:06:30
I'm pretty sure that one man doing new features can provide enough work for nine peoples to do bugfixing :]

Post by: ihabkal on 2015-06-17, 09:31:00
I think the you know who company spends too much on marketing and too little actually building the stuff that's why I have a useless $1000 plugin from them and since I got Corona I didn't use it Corona does everything I need (except DR doesn't work still in max 2016).
So we need to help advertise for Corona and help Ondra keep it cheap.
