[Max] I need help! / How to save Exr and retain dynamic range In Post ?

« on: 2021-09-15, 16:47:55 »

Hi im looking for a way to save the exr in 32 bits and retain the exposure values just like the frame buffer, so far i just get a very dull image if i want to change the exposure using PS in 32 bits, its like changing an LDR image. I Know Corona CXR but the file sizes are so big...
Also tried inside davinci resolve and its the same..
Im saving the image as *.exr Full Loat 32 Bits  RGBA, have also tried integrer 32 bits and that comes corrupted..

[Max] Bug Reporting / 3dsmax fluids works on normal render but interactive Freezes

« on: 2021-04-21, 23:19:33 »

Hi, i'm starting to learn 3dsmax Fluids, and have encountered some corona bug, if i hit render it will render fine (no motion blur for know corona reasons:(  )
But if i try to launch the interactive render it will totally freeze max.
Im attaching a very simple scene to show it.
Select the max liquid called Liquid001, open the simulation view and hit the play button.
IMPORTANT: make the time line from 100 to 5 frames to make the sim much faster and the test too.

Using corona 6.1  max 2021.3
Thx!!

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona and max crash with an extremely far object

« on: 2021-04-13, 18:29:16 »

Hi, i found a crash in corona 6.1 Max 2021.3
I have an object that's too far away, its coordinates are messed up, if i delete it it renders again, if i reset the coordinates it will work. but i think no crash should occur so here is the scene.
open it and on one side of the kitchen there is a stool called Tolix, that's the one.

Uploaded the file trough private uploader
Its called Vera_E1

Inspired in the apartment made by March & White  and The Boundary             Broome Soho by Renzo Piano


Long ago i wanted to make an animation, so i choose this project to do so, one of the big challenges was render times, I just have one Pc, so i had to pull every trick possible to do so ;)
Also it was my first time with the background music, so its not perfect by any means but it was my first and i learned a lot.
Here are the images without too much compression https://www.behance.net/gallery/114845261/Broome-Soho

[Max] Bug Reporting / Weird sampling bug related to round corner legacy

« on: 2021-03-01, 16:38:50 »

Hi i have found some weird issue related to round edges and the legacy - precise option.
We were making some 8k*8k vr tours and found these strange round cirles on the walls, i manage to reproduce the problem and the one to blame here is the legacy or pricese option on the corona round edges, if i unthick those the circles dissapear, Its not a matter of sampling or insufficient render passes.

Attaching some screens and a scene to reproduce the bug
Uploaded scene trough corona private uploader dropbox , name Look dev v1 BUG round cornernoise.7z

[Max] General Discussion / Intel denoiser Vs Corona High quality Denoiser / Room to improve?

« on: 2021-02-17, 18:08:32 »

I'm making some personal project with an animation, and was looking at the denoisers and found a very big difference between the Intel and the corona High quality one. The only problem with the intel is the temporal consistency so its a no go for animation ( hope it can change in the future!)
The corona One cant denoise quite well and can introduce some ugly artifacts, the intel one is doing a great job cleaning most of the  image and retaining a great amount of detail with no visible artifacts.

Both renders were made with a noise level limit of 9% and a denoising amount of 8% and 1 radius
Tent image filter for both

Corona denoiser


Intel Denoiser


Biggest difference can be seen under the table where corona denoiser shows some weird shapes, the noise amount its higher on Corona denoiser.

couldn't find the corona comparison tool if you want to look at them

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Floating window IR size changes between consequent renders

« on: 2021-02-08, 15:52:57 »

Hi, there is a bug in the history function in Corona, when a new scene is open and you hit render and save that history, Stop that interactive render and start it again. the size mismatch will show invalidating the last history. The procedure can be repeated on any scene on the first render.
