Hello!
I'm using this script to batch-render scenes in corona 3, and it doesn't work with corona 4 daily builds.
Can't figure out - if it is my mistakes or script needs to be rewritten?

And, there is a thing I hope can be fixed for release version.
If my network storage computer is restarted rendering hangs.
Can there be a checkbox to locally store assets during rendering process?

Compability update for upcoming Corona 3.

- fixed broken buttons,
- added Realtime Denoising checkbox,
- added button to get materials from viewport selection to material editor,
- added Corona compatible version of "Find And Bind - Vray Hdri & Sun" script.

Installation:
Unpack archive to 3dsmax/scripts folder, and run "drag&drop_this_file_to_3dsmax_viewport_to_register_Corona_Tweaks.ms" script.
Customize -> Customize User Interface -> Toolbars -> Corona Renderer -> drag Corona Renderer tweaker to your interface.

Finally my CPU arrived, built my rig and now I have statistics from 2 workstations with similar hardware:
AMD 2990wx, Asrock X399 Taichi, NZXT Kraken X72, 4x16 DDR4 2933 ram modules, Fractal Design Define S case.

No overclocking, CPU temperature is 62-64 on rendering, clocks 3.2-3.3 GHz, all stable.

I think it would fit in your budget of 2500 euro.

CPU - AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 766,30 €
CPU cooling - NZXT Kraken X72 175,81 €.
Case - Fractal Design Define S 70,42 €
MB - ASRock X399 TAICHI 278,15 €
any compatible DDR4 Memory 64Gb (4x16) 466,39 €
Videcard - 1050Ti 4Gb or higher 162,94 €
Power - Corsair RMi Series RM1000i PFC 80+ Gold modular 1000 Watt 140,25 €
HDD's and SSD's for your choise. ~300 €

This build can be upgraded for 32-core processor.

Hello!
You'll cut your rendertimes by half, but will also get less responsive system because of lower cpu frequency.
For me xeon workstations are now only for rendernodes, amd threadripper 2950x with the same or faster rendering speed will increase your productivity in most cases compared to single 22-core xeon.
As for ssd - it depends on what your workflow is. For just rendering simple interiors better spend this money on faster cpu or buy more DDR4 memory.

Juraj, thank you!
I really miss youtube video, where the process of assebling workstation like yours is recorded.
It's beautiful!

I really appriciate you guys for sharing both positive and negative experience with your builds.
Also very interested in your experience of organising incase airflow.
To get more cool air inside I chose FRACTAL DESIGN Define S case, to move all hdd's to back side of the case.
My build with asrock taichi is still on paper, waiting for my order in first dayz of october.
Still no desition on cooler, hopefully new asus AIO's will arrive in shops soon, as they cool VRM's too.

I probably suggest against doing it. I know how my i9 7980XE had to keep full spin (1500rpms) of dual fans on much bigger NH-D15.

Is there still no review of the other one ?
I'd buy Silver Arrow TR4, if it ever exist, can't find it anywhere.
By the way, Juraj, what reliable AIO water cooler would you suggest?
I'm not going to overclock cpu.

So what you guys think about Noctua NH U14S TR4 with addional fan?
Is it enough for 2990wx to work without throttling, or better wait for more powerful air cooler?

Corona tweaker script development is suspended.
Last update is v1.7.1 posted before.

26
Yes.

27
Thank you very much for this tool!
Would it be possible to fix Show Diffuse Maps button so it will support maps which are connected to the diffuse slot via other maps (CoronaAO for example)

Thanks _)
I tried to implement your request, and not all things are working for now (triplanarX map doesn't show texture by maxscript command).
Anyway, this is what you asked for, just place it in scripts/CoronaRenderer folder.

1.7 update with 2 buttons for corona material libraries, and new version 1.7.9 of batch material editor.

29
If I had the same problem I'd try to override GI material with the most simple (gray 210,210,210) color for every scene material (except glass).
Another way is to try baking indirect lighting using standard 3dsmax tools(never tried that though), and then render only direct lighting in animation.
And I hope you find your own way to improve rendertimes, and share it with us!

Hello coronauts!
Here is new version of Corona tweaker for new Corona release 1.6

Changes are:
- Added reload CT button for reloading and synchronizing Corona Tweaker with current scene settings( if another scene was opened, for example).
- Updated Corona converter.
- Updated Corona IES library and added preview image.
- Added Corona Image editor button.
- Added checkboxes for Distributed rendering, render hidden lights, render only masks (same button was removed).

How to install:
Extract zip to your 3dsmax scripts folder, drag&drop "drag&drop_this_file_to_3dsmax_viewport_to_register_Corona_Tweaks.ms" file to any 3dsmax  viewport, then Customize -> Customize user interface -> Toolbars -> Corona Renderer -> drag and drop "Corona Renderer tweaker" button to your toolbar.

! Update:
Fixed Corona IES Library script error and returned button for region render.
Just extract to your scripts/CoronaRenderer folder and restart 3dsmax.
