Hello there,

I'm starting a new project, a nice one (Babyfoot games)... And i'd prefer to render it with Corona (fast, nice, i felt in love with it)...
My 2 other historic renderes are Maxwell (too slow for this project), and Vray (not so fast & nice in my opinion)...

Problem is that i'll HAVE TO get masks, lots of masks, and i must admint that Vray's option "affect all channels" plus multimatte element is a must have !

It renders the alpha objects taking account of reflexion / refractions...

Can Corona render that ? Will it be able to in a next release ?

here is a picture that explains what i mean...



Regards.

Hi, sorry, but this is currently not possible. We have already received feature requests about this and this is high on the todo lists.

Currently the only workaround would be to re-save the scene and "fake" the masks using custom materials (self illumination or lightmtl without emission). I understand it sounds ridiculous, but it looks like this is the only option now...

Ok, i guess i can do the masks passes using Vray in the midtime...

If it is on the todo list, that's ok...

We still need that asap !

Please Ondra, have a quick look at it : you probably could code that in several hours or minutes...

Do you think it's something that could be learnt from Vray or is the issue to do with a fundamental difference in how Corona works compared with Vray? i.e not possible? :)

Corona was not originally designed for doing things like this, so it will take some time to implement it. We do however have it on our TODO.
The current status is "once it will be coming soon, we will announce it".
We are aware that this is an essential feature for many users.
