I hope you like my project.

Thank you for your attention.

I believe sprits were also rendered this way back then using the billboard technique. :)

[Max] Tutorials & Guides / Re: Corona - THE COMPLETE GUIDE - hardcopy book

« Last post by TomG on Today at 14:36:48 »

No new book - it takes a huge amount of time and work to put a book together, and then Corona is always changing, which is why we have never done a printed manual for Corona. We did attempt something similar for the old old version of the Corona Academy when it took place in person where we had a printed book to go along with it, but it proved impossible to keep it updated; I imagine the same issue would apply here.

Not sure on sprites but at a guess you can simulate this by using geometry - like "billboard" trees and the like in older games, you would have a plane, set to always face the camera, and then have a texture on it for what the particle would look like. If using self-illumination or light material with emit light off, this should render very fast indeed, as you are basically just adding 2D sprites into the scene.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: CoronaSky with projection dome broken ?

« Last post by Beanzvision on Today at 14:13:18 »

Damned no success here using the last version of corona. Here is a simple scene with a basic setup : a sphere a plane and a sky with a hdri. Thanks

It's the Corona bitmap that is doing this, you will need to remove it and it works just fine.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Very slow geometry phase 10x slower than old pc

I hope solution for your problem is found, but I will like to stress that if in some case you have non-retail stepping (ES/QS/etc..), the issue can be with on-chip memory controller which creates certain spiral of firmware/OS issues that can manifest under certain workloads (whether it's scheduler issues, CPU groups, NUMA nodes, etc..).

So if Corona team received fully retail unit (which in 2024 means all-in-one system for most Epyc stuff), they might not be able to replicate your issue.

It's bit risky proposition to build custom multi-CPU servers today, too many variables with zero support. Super hard to investigate and find what can be culprit.

Not saying that's the case, just be prepared.

Nice to know that Corona devs got the machine though.
