Corona Standalone / Re: Corona standalone build, input format description

« on: 2014-01-15, 01:08:27 »

Hello,

I don´t get the standalone application to work on my Win 8.1 64bit system. First I had problems because of missing 'msvcp120.dll' on my computer. I solved that by installing the 'vcredist_x64.exe' included in the dropbox archiv of version 2013-12-12 of the standalone versions

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kgzu0cqy903ygmb/B5zHQfynfQ/!Standalone

But now there´s a problem with export.scn, that cannot be read, although it´s in the sample folder inside the folder with Corona.exe

See the command line message:

C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\corona>Corona.exe
ERROR: Cannot open/read/write file 'export.scn'
Corona Renderer Alpha - Standalone

What I´ve done wrong? Thank for thinking about a solution!

Blender Cycles mainly...
It is a great general rendering engine... but indoor scenes arent so fast...
Have addittionaly 2 Octane licences, but i didnt used them for 2 Years now....
Also have used yafaray, indigo, vray and Nox....
But only corona does close the indoor gap for me....

Hi i compared the build from 2014-01-14 with the build from 2013-12-12 and there are differencies...
I dont know whether it is a bug. It is exactly the same scene with exact the same texture. I used a floor material with a normal map.
Thanx

Ok i read something about the roll value for the camera; so it is a exporter thing i guess....

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Basic standalone feature set

« on: 2014-01-06, 17:36:14 »

Hi my name is Hakan and i'm from Germany...
I'm using Blender now for more than 8 Years....
I use Cycles and Octane for my outdoor scenes, but indoor scenes are a pain to render with them, alltough i have 2 GTX780ti's on my machine...
Randomly i stumbled over corona and used Joel's blender addon for the corona standalone and i was blown away by the the speed and quality of this renderer...
So my question is, will the standalone renderer get some basic* features or will it be used for demonstrations only...?

If it will stay for a demonstrating purposes then it is ok, i would go the vray way.....
I asked similar questions on other threads, i think here is the best place for this...

Best regards!

*lacking Basic features:
-IES-lights
-Corona sky-system
-horizontal rotated camera
-controllable Bokeh shape
-blend material
-control strength of maps and enviroments...

Rawalanche, are you talking about the Standalone App or the Blender corona UI?
The UI of the Blender addon could get more organized; I would kick everything, what is not supported by Corona; i tested 2 Hours the Blender lights with no sucess until i recognized that they are not supported, bytheway he makes a nevertheless an excellent job!

I used the Bucket rendering mode......
But it was a pain in ass to know when the pass is over... Would be damn nice to see the buckets, where they are...
