Definitely one of the top features I'd like to see implemented in Corona, so ... please add it.

Ok that seems to be the cause.

The tooltip says the range is - 1 to 1, but it seems like anything remotely near 1 is unusable.  0.2 is about as much as I can adjust it before it gets squirrely. 

Thanks for your time.

[Max] I need help! / Flickering Lights

« Last post by Otuama on Today at 00:00:03 »

Hi all,

I'm rendering an animation of a data centre.


https://imgur.com/yo8qDUq

It has quite a few lights in the scene and my tests have shown that some lights are flickering.

I'll post a proper example when more frames are rendered but thought I'd post this now to try to determine a solution.

I'm using UHD cache. 

It was flickering with Adaptive Light Solver (ALS) on.

I'm doing a test with ALS off

And another with ALS off & environment sampler set to Precise (rather than adaptive).

Flicking through the frames it looks like I'm still having the issue.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can stop this?

Thanks


P.S.  Images don't seem to be working so I've posted a link of what it looks like

It's most likely because of saturation slider. Yours is set way too high. Saturation in Corona VFB is only usable up to 0,05-0,1 not more.

I tracked it down to a tonemapping thing.  Denoiser is off, and output files are the same as the interactive render window.

As you can see, depending on the combinations of tone map settings, for example, magenta and saturation, it will manifest. It can be worked around easily I suppose, but I just figured you guys might like to know what happens.

Gallery / REL019 House

« Last post by CharliestonePro on Yesterday at 22:02:26 »

Hello everyone. I would like to present to you one of my personal works;

REL019 House

In the Northern Hemisphere, the weather is starting to warm up. With the first light of the day, one must emerge from the shell to observe the atmosphere in nature...

[Max] I need help! / Re: Select the light mix list item by light

« Last post by SRY on Yesterday at 20:21:20 »

Hi James Velia, Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I mean when I select a light in the scene ,LightMix Item was selected in FVB UI . so I can know some LightMix Item need to change color or intensity. this saves searching time. Otherwise finding the right one among dozens of lights is not simple thing.

[Max] I need help! / Loading 3DS Max Render Presets deletes all lights in LightMix channels

« Last post by Haikovisual on Yesterday at 19:06:16 »

Hi, everyone!

I just discovered a serious problem when loading Render Presets - all light sources are completely removed from the LightMix channels, instead of each there is <deleted>.
I asked my friends to do the same - they got exactly the same result.
Loading 3DS Max Render Presets deletes all lights in LightMix channels automatically?
How to fix that?

Thanx!

[C4D] I need help! / Corona Shadow Catcher for interior

« Last post by edoardo_explorer on Yesterday at 17:51:47 »

Hello!

I'm working on an interior scene: I have to add some furniture on an photograph of a palace room.
So the plan was to model just the furniture and use Corona Shadow Catcher to project the shadows on the photograph.

I built the room and applied the Shadow Catcher material used as backplate, added a Sky and a Sun, but the geometry of the room doesn't affect the shadows.
I supposed that if a material has SC material doesnt' project shadows, so I tried to duplicate the room and add a compositing but the situation doesn't change.

How can i fix it?

There is other ways to render just the furniture and the shadows?
I read that shadows channel just let you lighten the shadows.

Thanks
