[Max] General Discussion / Max Physical Mat to Corona Physical Map

Does the converter not convert Max physical materials to Corona PB mats?

Cool...Thanks.  I would be helpful to get some Corona feature video like before where you explain the new functionality.

I've noticed that there are few changes to how things used to work in the legacy material. Gloss roughness is reversed. Now lower numbers mean sharper reflections and higher ones means more blurred. Translucency controlled by Opacity?

[Max] Bug Reporting / Corona 7 and object properties issue

« on: 2021-08-25, 20:16:13 »

So I'm rendering a scene that has a plane in front of my model with a photo plate assigned to it. In Corona 6, and as my typical setup, I set the planes object properties to not generate shadows or receive shadows.  Always worked fine. The scene is lit with an HDRI image only. My typical rig for exteriors. In Corona 7 I'm getting an issue problem with my setup.  Even with shadows off in object properties, the plane is throwing some bad shadows onto my model. If I turn off reflect and refract in object properties, shadows are gone, but then I don't get the refractions I would if it was on.  Using 3ds MAX 2021.  Any fix for this? Or confirmation that this is a problem?

Where and how do you turn this on?

It's pretty amazing how you get such clean animations even in low light scenarios.  How long are your render times and what settings are you using to achieve this grainless quality?

Similar to what's available in Vray 5.  Would be nice to have it as an override that can be turned on and off as needed vs. having to use a coronawire material in the override slot.

How do you create a Dichroic glass in Corona?

Are there any known issues.  I'm running into some major slowdowns. while viewing a large FP model in IR.

Very cool demo reel.  What's your process for rendering out animations with moving objects in Corona.  What are your typical render times per frame.  Are they rendered at 1080p or 4k.

I was speaking to a colleague and he was saying that he tested faster speeds with his new RTX card while using IR.  By a factor of 10.

What I meant about back and forth was with the renderers.  Corona and Vray.  I'm a corona user in 3ds MAX.  So if I want to use any Vray tools like Project Lavina or this new Vray vision, I would have to covert my current Corona project into Vray and and the export the .vrscene.  Are you guys planning on creating a similar app for Corona that would allow users to generate real-time renders and animations quickly...Currently Corona takes forever to generate animations of clean quality unless the user has a farm or uses a service. For single machine users like me, animations are not feasible at the rate clients want them. So I have to plan projects accordingly.

[Max] General Discussion / Vray vision

« on: 2020-11-10, 18:53:02 »

Has anyone seen the new feature for SketchUp? Vray Vision? Looks like a replacement for Enscape.  Is Corona planning on having a Corona Vision for 3ds MAX? Rendering animations take forever so if there was a way to have something like Enscape and TM where you can render fast animations that would be awesome. Just saying.  I know Chaos has Project Lavina, but having to switch back and forth is a pain.
