In fact, all the possible colors has been rendered with Corona...

We separated all changeable parts into layers, and the website is displaying the choosen parts...

And, about the large number of renderings :
25 billards models
up to 42 colors / finishes
31 colors for the playing fabric
several colors for balls
plus plates, options (inox, leds...), Cues-racks, and so on...
All tha in 6 differents ambiances...

All that were rendered with Corona, using an animation - based system...

Or maybe to get the "unsupported material" using RaySwitch, so it is visible, but not sending red GI everywhere ;-)

Hello there,

We used Corona to render more than 152 000 png images for this online configuration tool :
It lets you more than 210 000 000 000 (billions) differents possibilities ;-)

[Max] I need help! / Better quality needed in "For compositing" Shadow catcher...

« on: 2017-02-16, 22:47:29 »

Hello,
I'm trying to get some objects on a pure white support for a customer...
As i know albedo / diffuse would never go above rgb 240-242, i'm using a shadowCatcher material so i can save png rgba files, then photoshop let me put a pure white under it, and i get shadows onto it...

Problem is that the "for compositing" alpha stays grainy, even at 100 passes...

Im using an HDRI for main light, so i can't really raise the subdivisions...

Any help would be usefull, thanks.

[Max] I need help! / [solved] multiple versions...

« on: 2016-12-15, 21:53:47 »

Hello there,

I'm planning to go from 1.4 to 1.5, but i know there are some subtles differences...
So my question is quite simple : can i install both 1.4 and 1.5 and simply choose the one i need in the 3dsmax's renderer drop list ?

I've started some scenes some months ago (version 1.4), and i'd like to finish the project with 1.5, without any bad surprise, so i'd like to test...

I've installed 3dsmax 2017 and Corona 1.5.2... activated... ok.
And i've kept 3dsmax 2016 with corona 1.4 for testing purposes, but i could not activate 1.4, i guess once 1.5 is activated, i can't activate another one.. even if on the same system...

Any help would be nice.

Regards.

Colimo has existed for a long time now, and funnily enough, I don't know one person using it in production.
A bit gadget IMHO, nice to play with things like that when you need to output a few images, but I bet it becomes more complicated with real world projects. Certainly worth investigating though.

I can't agree, 80% of my work is web configurators, and so i have to output hundreds of texture / shaders variations in the same ambiance picture...
A working colimo would be a serious plus, for me and all 3D guys i know that have to work for those kind of projects...
Kitchens, Bathrooms, floors, wallpapers, furnitures, and even Billardstables (i'm right now working on a billards project)...

Ok, for architecture / short films, it can be a funny gadget, not for a lot of more industrial projects

regards

The feature request is not dead... if you clever guys could develop something like that into Corona would be a serious plus in the rendering-engines "war"...

Ok, i guess i can do the masks passes using Vray in the midtime...

If it is on the todo list, that's ok...
