These look great!

What is your method for the rugs?

That depends.
When these are more flat I use mix of displacement and bump. However with hairy ones I use Forest Pack to scatter fiber packs.

Wow these are fantastic! Would you mind letting me know where I can get such good quality backplates from?

I don't know where did I get it from.. I found it almost year ago and tried to figure out recently from where did I get it and I couldn't find the place..

Hi guys,

I didn't post anything for sometime so here's new project.
This time it's personal one made on the basis of the Layers of White - Pitsou Kedem Architect project and photos of Amit Geron.

Renderings made after hours, I started it almost a year ago and recently managed to finish it.

You can also see it on my website and behance.:

If you have any questions, go ahead :)

Hardware / Re: What instead of i7-5820k? Broken MBU. Budget option.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll go with your first option which is 2700X + MSI x470 Gaming Plus. As I looked through the prices it should fit the budget.

if you need something on a budget that is an actual upgrade from your 5820k get the 2700 (x if you can find it for $10-20 more) as it is faster and it has been going on sale for months months now. You can pair it with something like the MSI x470 Gaming Plus, it is only sale often for $110+ and it can also run the 3900x/3950x at stock speeds.


Ryzen 2700
MSI x470 Gaming Plus
DDR4 3000Mhz CAS 15 or 16 2x16Gb  (Cosair Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M2B3000C15 if you can find it)
Use all your old parts, expect using the stock cooler with the Ryzen.

Looking at Corona Benchmarks it seems that Ryzen 7 2700X is the best option.
Will there be any major difference between X470 and B450 motherboards considering that I won't be overclocking CPU and won't be using any fast DDR4?

Hi guys,

I had some problem with my second workstation. As it occured the motherboard is broken. Current setup looks like this:
CPU - i7-5820k
MBU - ASRock X99 Extreme 4
RAM - DDR4 2133Mhz 4x8gb
GPU - GeForce GTX760
PSU - be quiet! 730W Pure Power L8
Cooling - be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3

Because motherboards with sockets 2011-3 are quite expensive and I'm considering selling the CPU and buying some AMD setup (CPU + motherboard). Something budget like 250-300€ for it. However I'm completely out of the topic now in terms of hardware. Could you help me out with choosing something decent?

After a little research I'm thinking of these CPUs:
Ryzen 5 3600
Ryzen 5 3600X
Ryzen 7 2700X
But I don't know what AM4 motherboard could be a good fit...

Hi!

I haven't published new project for a while :).

Earlier in 2018, together with Profim, Didudam and We Design we have been working on renderings for a catalogue called "Book of Colour".
It was designed as a part of marketing materials for a tradeshow ORGATEC.
There was aa concept where the catalogue have to be matched to the tradeshow stand which was divided into five different colour sections presenting new furniture. The catalogue is basicly all matte black with the five monochromatic sections inside.
My job of course was to make renderings for the catalogue. It was great fun to work on this project :).

Whole project was made with 3ds max and Corona 3.
Of course if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer :).

You can also see the entire project on behance: https://www.behance.net/gallery/75673005/Profim-Orgatec-2018

Hi,

The newest build still crashes 3ds max when I'm trying to copy render directly from framebuffer :/

Hi!
I didn't post any new project for a while. This one is an interior/product project from last year. It was made to show different ways of use of the product - built-in wardrobes.

Soft: 3dsmax, corona, photoshop
Models are mainly 3dsky, some bbb3viz and main own. Most of them have reworked shaders.

More renders (close ups) of the project here:

I confirm that 18.12 build has something messed up with DR. It's constantly refreshing when moving mouse on viewport.

The problem is that this kind of error doesn't give minidump...

I tried to reinstall 3ds max on the node and it didn't help :/

[Max] I need help! / Problem with DR both on Corona DR & Backburner

« on: 2017-11-19, 17:56:02 »

Hi guys,

From some time I'm getting some problems with distributed/network rendering on Corona.
On both machines I'm using the same versions of 3ds max 2017.2 and Corona 1.7. So what happening.

Corona DR:
When I'm using Corona DR at the beginning everything is going well. Scene is being send, loaded, parsed etc. and the rendering is starting. After few minutes of rendering I'm getting an error: "3ds Max application has stopped working" and everything shut downs. This happens on every scene. I tried heavy scenes with a lot of displacement, scatter etc. and some simple with just Sphere and HDRI loaded. All the same.
LOGS:
a) Corona Log doesn't give any error. Last line is like: "2017-11-19 12:59:14  Rendering pass 4"
b) Max Log doesn't give any error either. Last line: "2017/11/19 12:59:11 INF: [12644] [12648] CORONA : Rendering pass 3"
c) DR Log. Here everything also looks normal with one exception. Last line: "2017-11-19 12:59:44   Closing loopback manager" - but it came out after I closed an error

Backburner:
When I'm using Backburner it's basicly the same as above. Everything is going fine for around 5-10 minutes and then I get application error.
LOGS:
a) Backburner Server
    INF Application is down
    INF Adapter returned unexpected code - 2 for "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\maxadapter.adp.exe" "-o" "ShutDown" "-l" "Info"
    ERR Unknown Error

I've searched through internet for solution I get nothing :/ There was something about changing user in Services.msc, but I don't have any Backburner or DR service there.

Maybe someone had similar problem and have solution?

Really really nice :)
Did you have any script for those wires? It looks like a modelling nightmare...
