[Max] I need help! / Corona lights with textures applied

« on: 2023-11-21, 22:46:50 »

Hello,

I have corona light plane shaped with HDRI texture applied on it. When I change the intensity of it in lightmixer and then save to scene intensity of light doesn't change. It creates some color correction adjustemt to the texture I use in material editor.

Results after saving to scene are different than what I see in frame buffer when adjusting light mixer intesity. Why is it done like that?

How could I get correct results?

Best Regards,
Maciej

You got there a lot of these sharp edge reflections which isn't physical behaviour. You can check it with two flat reflective surface like I did.

I saved jpeg as gamma 2.2. I chose it manually. I often save .hdr with gamma 1.0, that's why I didn't change to 2.2 in my max.

Yes, that is only an example and scale has nothing to do with it.

So in real life can you see this strange reflection ending? I don't think so.

Can you tell me what's incorrect in my gamma and LUT setting?

I think scale isn't the issue here.

I atach photo of simillar situation in real.

Hello,

I think I solve error by delete 3dsmax.ini file in ENU folder. Now default .ini file seems ok.

Thanks for help.

I agree previous method was better. The new one is very confusing.

Yes it was possible in 3 when I stop rendering in IR.
This was quite nice feature, so I can look at the image like it was some kind of thumbnail and I could see if it's looking good.

Can I somehow get back in v5 to have this option enabled?

« on: 2019-10-29, 12:33:15 »

Hello,

Recently I updated Corona to 5th version and now I'm unable to zoom out vfb screen to less than 1:1. In my previus version which is 3 this option was enabled. Could I change it to old behaviour?
This was available only when I stop rendering. Is it possible to zoom out during interactive rendering?

Best Regards
