General CG Discussion / bercon tiles

« on: 2019-02-17, 01:28:48 »

Hi,

When I prepare my shaders for further use I often link certain parameters with float controllers in 3ds max.
However could not figure it out how to link the pattern option across multiple bercon tiles map.
Is there a way to solve this issue?

Thanks,

Hardware / Cheap machine for photoshop

« on: 2018-02-15, 13:16:49 »

Hi,

I want to build a cheap rig dedicated for postwork in photoshop.
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the new AMD ryzen5 2400g CPU with the integrated graphics feature.

https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-2400g

In this case, I would go for a system without a GPU so I can save a few hundred £.
What do you think about this?

Cheers,

Hi,

Any ideas how to exclude lights from participating in volumetric fog rendering?
I still want them to affect the scene but only render volumetrics with the selected lights.
Thanks,

General CG Discussion / Image gets dark after saving it from Photoshop.

« on: 2017-02-20, 15:19:39 »

Hi,

I have this issue with my saved images.
They get much darker after I save them from Photoshop.

I save exrs from corona and use PS for postwork.
I PS it looks ok.

Im kind of lost with the setting I need to change in the color management settings of my display.
What is the best way to fix this?

Thanks.

« on: 2017-01-19, 23:36:45 »

Hi,

I built a dual xeon e5-2670 machine and it feels a little slow when I start rendering the secondary GI phase.
Any ideas how can I speed it up?

Hardware / dual xeons

« on: 2016-12-08, 00:47:46 »

Hi,

I built a workstation very similar to this one.

http://talcikdemovicova.com/32-thread-build-on-budget/

The problem is I get a strange cinebench score when I run the cpu test.

I get 230 cbs instead of the 2000 you can see in the article.

Do you guys have any idea what did I do wrong ?

[Max] I need help! / Bloom and Glare quiestion

« on: 2016-11-25, 13:04:15 »

Hi,

I need help with rendering B&G in a separate pass without affecting the beauty pass.
I know there is a dedicated render element for it but the on/off checkbox is affecting everything at the same time.

What I want is to have a separate render element for B&G and I want it to stay away from the beauty pass.

Cheers,

[Max] I need help! / Gear VR - Spherical camera / resolution

« on: 2016-05-17, 12:49:08 »

Hi,

Does anyone know what is the ideal resolution for this format?
With vray you have cubemaps with 1.5K x 9K resolution and during rendereing it correts to 1.5k x 18K because of the offset.

I rendered a 6K x 6K image to test the VR feature of Corona but some parts read strange while the offset value is correct (6.5cm) just like in vray.
Any idea?

Cheers,

Off-Topic / Photoshop CC camera raw filter

« on: 2016-01-12, 11:19:11 »

Hi,

I saw this topic in the past and now I tried to change the camera raw mode back to 2010 from the current 2012 method.

https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,6186.msg42365.html#msg42365

My problem is that the image turns black as soon as I change this mode.
I wanted to try it because I want to work with the original image not with the one that camera raw automatically equalizes.

I saved a 32bit exr but no luck.
Any ideas?

Thank you,

« on: 2015-12-14, 16:28:30 »

Hi,

Is it possible to use "Render only elements" function with deadline for animation?
It is a great feature but I cant deal with re-rendering elements during the day...

Thanks
