Oh yes, good call indeed ! Not a priority IMHO, but still very interesting.
You get my vote :)

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: UVW Randomizer - use settings from another map

« on: 2021-10-06, 08:44:59 »

Good morning,

Thanks to both of you, Aaouviz and Romullus, for your feedback.
Yes, I'll certainly end up with creating a template, I was just hoping for an out-of-the-box solution ;) maybe a future version of Corona will bring that !

Have a nice day,

Regards.

[Max] Feature Requests / UVW Randomizer - use settings from another map

« on: 2021-10-05, 12:56:26 »

Hello,

I was rcently wondering if it would be possible to implement a similar behavior as Color Correct, with possibility to use settings from another Color Correct map. For UVW Randomizer, I think it could become very handy, when using several maps (diffuse, glossiness, normal ...) for a material, to be able to "link" UVW Randomizer maps with each other. It's possible using multiple Bezier Float controllers, but that can quickly become both time-consuming and messy ... Or am I missing something here ?
What do you guys think ?

Thanks a lot :)

Regards.

« on: 2021-10-03, 22:24:28 »

Good evening,

Try to directly project a black and white map using a standard 3dsmax directional light, setting shadow type to Corona. You'll be able to put your map in the Shadow Parameters rollout.

Hello,

After some time, probably the moment to bump on this one :) any chance to see this implemented in a near future, please ?

Thanks,

[Max] I need help! / Re: Max Ray Depth somehow broken ?

« on: 2021-09-27, 16:45:46 »

Here was the mistake -

Even if you are using legacy mtl

- Reflection color was not set to pure white
- Reflections were glossy.
- Ior was set to 10. You need to set it to 999 in legacy or just simply use the physicalmtl metal mode for more accurate results.

Oh ok, so not 1 mistake but 3 ! ouch !
Indeed I had to slightly tweak the material to match my client taste ... I'll try to switch as much as possible on Physical Material, but you know, habits can be sticky ;)

Thanks again.

Avi,

I was just about to write a message to thank you publicly here.
What Avi found ? switching to Corona Physical Material, with preset Perfect Mirror solved the problem ! thanks a lot for fixing so quickly my problem. However, I'd really like to know what was the problem with the Legacy material here. I mean, mirror material is probably one of the simplest one can set up, so ... did I do something wrong ? or is that sort of a limitation of the Legacy material somewhere ? or a bug ? or ? sorry, by nature, I hate not understanding something :)

Thanks again for your help !!

Good - I added CoronaPhysicalMtl to the old disgusting v1 so at least the new shader is now supported in v1.9.
It can be downloaded on the scriptspot.

Thanks A LOT, Nik :)

Weird, I thought I did things correctly in the report page ... anyway, it's DRESSING_H-F_08.zip.
Sorry ;)

[Max] I need help! / Max Ray Depth somehow broken ?

« on: 2021-09-25, 18:11:46 »

Hello :)

I've a problem with Ray Depth. FYI, I'm using Corona V7.1, with 3dsmax 2021.3.2.
My scene has a typical situation for ray depth I guess: in a nutshell, mirror in front of another mirror (see cropped rendering enclosed). And it doesn't matter how high I set Max Ray Depth, it seems rays are still cut to early, I shouldn't end with black, right ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

Hi everyone, there are plans for improvement on the lister, I will bump this up.

(Report ID=CRMAX-967)

Thank you, GeorgeK. An efficient LightLister is crucial to me when it comes to lighting adjustments ...
Let's wait a bit then :)
