Hello everyone!
Current political events will soon lead to isolation of russian segment of internet, so in a couple of days i won't be able to communicate with you guys and post updates for this script anymore.
I made a decision to post my latest version here, in case someone will update or support it further.

Small compability update for 3dsmax 2022 and Corona 7.

- fixed updated Corona Converter script path.
- changed Diffuse button behavior, now it's diffuse level percentage correction button for fast scene setups (we all hate calibrating huge multimaterials albedo!).
It works only for materials on selected objects. (Only Multi-material, CoronaLegacy and CoronaPhysical materials supported).

Since Corona team is on holidays I made a temporary fix for myself with Resourse hacker software and moved Metallness map slot after Base bump map slot.
Attached image with screenshot.
Hope I didn't break any rules, this is just a interface usability fix before next daily comes out next year, and sorry if I did.
You can reproduce this fix yourself, just open C:\Program Files\Corona\Corona Renderer for 3ds Max\20**\CoronaMaxUtils_Release-2021.dll file, find Dialog folder, find 16429:1033 and change it, replacing text with these strings:

Made an installer with some fixes in code, now it's paid verison (2$) and it's loaded on startup.
If you want to remove it from startup - delete file located at: c:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2021\scripts\Startup\Startup_Corona_Renderer_Tweaker.ms

Previous Alpha version is free.

Those, who donated before, will recieve update for free.

- added DOF checkerbox with FStop/2 and FStop*2 quick buttons.
- changed script behavior when Camera Target button is pressed:
  it makes camera targeted even if it was not, and local space is activated to move target by Z axis.
- XSMP button instead CMPP.
- If Verticals correction or DOF effect checkboxes are checked new Corona cameras are created with those checkboxes enabled.

Some unfinished features will be included in later builds.

I'm trying to rewrite a script, that connects CoronaBitmap HDRI image with rotation parameter of DomeLight,
so I put CoronaBitmap inside CoronaUvwRandomizer map (primitive mode) and using same U_to and U_from parameters to rotate it.
It reflects changes in preview window, but no changes in interactive render.
Can this be fixed?
I just can't wire point3 (CoronaBitmap's U_Offset) and float value (DomeLight rotation) parameters.
I put script in attachment.

Tried OpenVDB clouds inside global volume with CoronaVolumeMtl.
VERY slow rendering speed with some sort of artifacts (CoronaVolumeMtl don't render behind OpenVDB cloud's gizmo).
Maybe I just don't know how to setup them? :/

Added test without Global volume material.

It's stable for long renders, and you almost all the time have 3.2-3.3GHz frequency, CPU temperature is 63-65C.
44 seconds for test(ram was set at 2400 MHz), guess there is much room for tweaking and improving the result, I just dont want to waste time on it.
The most important thing not to forget is setting right RAM 2933MHz profile in BIOS, and check RAM Voltage, set it as recommended by manufacturer.
Do not forget to install NZXT CAM application, and create fan profile to have comfortable experience with coolers.

I have 3 workstations with 2990wx and kraken x72.
Kraken x72 is too loud on 90%+ fan speed mode for me, so all experiments with PBO led to decision not to touch it until I buy custom water cooling solution, such as Juraj used in his build.

I like your crisp images style and very emotional tonemapping, hope you'll mention how you achieved such quality in you future videos on youtube.
Watched all of them btw, they are very inspiring.
I'm asking for a request. Can you share your latest version of HDRI preview script?
I want to include it as a part of Corona Renderer Tweaker script, maybe with some personal tweaks.

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Warp Texture plugin compability

« on: 2019-07-26, 12:48:29 »

Hmm, i used to use warp texmap plugin with Corona in the past. It was quite slow and a bit unstable, but it certainly was working. I wonder when it stopped to be compatible? Also, i would love to see native warp texmap from Corona team.

P.S. did you check if there is warp OSL texmap in latest max?

Well, that's what I checked first.
Can't say I'm very sure I looked everywhere, but I didn't find what I was looking for.
Maybe, if it is ever possible, I'll study and write my own OSL shader, but it could take A LOT of time.

Hello!
I want to request Corona compability with Wrap texture plugin for animating HDRI's (sun goes down effect, for example).

For now it shows correct on preview window, but Corona ignores this plugin.
Here is slate material scheme:

Started work on new version of Corona Tweaker.
Made a first scratch for new interface, I'll update and tweak it a bit, for sure.

If you have any ideas what you need to implement in next version of tweaker - feel free to write it here, in english or in russian.

This will be a page where I will post updates, as development goes on:

and it doesn't work

What exactly does not work? It looks like the script just loads max files and executes a max quick render. It's like loading a scene manually and pressing "render", nothing more. There is no reference to corona or any other specific renderer.


Good Luck

Thank you for reply, looks like some of my scenes are broken.
