Why on Earth is the 3990x (64/128) priced at ~$6,000 in 2021? Are we basically just waiting for the 96-core Genoa chip before 3990x prices will drop? What about 5950x, or is it not sufficient to operate as a render node?

Hey @Piotrus333 the Vray LUT you shared awhile back has really been helpful for me - thank you so much for sharing!

sure thing. you’re welcome. VRay Hable or ampas lut?

mP_Reinhard2VRayAMPAS and mP_Reinhard2VRayFilmic have both been great to work with.

Do you have mP_Reinhard2VRayAMPAS_desatHL2.3dl as a .cube - I guess it doesn't matter for Corona Renderer VFB(?)

General CG Discussion / Re: Wonderig what is the most efficient method to make Rugs and carpets on Max

I responded similarly on a different thread but basically, Forest Pack.

Corona Scatter and Ornatrix are good, but Forest Pack is just more comprehensive, can handle more bizarre edge cases, etc.

I say this as someone who has implemented the above example following the example project^ using the default hair-and-fur system (not recommended), and then spent probably a couple months exploring other options, including those listed above.

General CG Discussion / Film Grain

« on: 2021-11-30, 01:38:42 »

Trying to improve my approach to film grain (noise) in post to emulate photographic imaging, wondering if anyone has any tips? Also, looking for a premium film grain / noise PS action, or something similar, because I don't really want to spend too much time dialing-in film grain to get the right look, if it can be done in a more efficient manner.

Right now I'm using ArionFX HDR film grain - it's nice, but few options to adjust grain size, color, roughness, etc.

Chiming-in to add my support to this feature request; having depth of field for fisheye lens would be very compelling, albeit niche.

Sadly this is not possible with Corona camera. There's request for this to be implemented, you may want to show your support in this tread: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=27883.0

The only workaround i can think of, would be to render z-depth pass and do DOF in post.

Ok, good to know - thank you Romullus. Yes, I will chime in to support the feature request, that would be nice to have for the fisheye lens.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Iridescent/Metallic glass shader

« on: 2021-11-24, 01:42:20 »

Use Siger thin film on a glass shader and then add roughness to the coat layer in the new Physical Material Shader, or create a layered material to add the dust / dirt.

For all intents and purposes the reference image shows, basically, a "dirty bubble" shader.

Title. Is this possible, or is there a workaround?

Please note that depends on what you mean by "do we have ACES" - what is shown is the color curve for ACES, nothing more (ie no changes to output formats etc.)

So we are seeing a kind of ACES emulation, then?

Thanks @MrMarty, I did all the texturing / shading, just not the modeling - the smoke detector is especially well modeled, so credit to the artist.

The vignetting in the two vertical shots is really nice, is that post process or in-camera (bokeh)?

What is the trick to texturing so much wall surface with only one material type? Noise mask in layered material, or UVW Randomizer?

I really like the mood and tone of these images, but it looks like the glass coffee table is clipping through the carpet / rug in the last shot?
Also, is the parquet flooring a texture or geometry?
