[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Mask seen in reflexion / refraction

« on: 2015-12-14, 17:55:01 »

Hello there,

I'm starting a new project, a nice one (Babyfoot games)... And i'd prefer to render it with Corona (fast, nice, i felt in love with it)...
My 2 other historic renderes are Maxwell (too slow for this project), and Vray (not so fast & nice in my opinion)...

Problem is that i'll HAVE TO get masks, lots of masks, and i must admint that Vray's option "affect all channels" plus multimatte element is a must have !

It renders the alpha objects taking account of reflexion / refractions...

Can Corona render that ? Will it be able to in a next release ?

here is a picture that explains what i mean...



Regards.

And what about Maxwell 2 Corona converter ?

I guess this would be harder since MX is using BRDFs...

her... sorry to interrupt, but what is the final price ?
Is it said anywhere ?

I live in France, and i don't have the same money issues that people can have in Egypt... Ok i'm not rich (stuff in France are expensives), but ok, i can afford a software license...

My problem is slitly different here :
I have a small renderfarm (20 cpus), and i've already had to buy several rendernodes for Vray and Maxwell Render...

Corona seams to be a fast alternative to Maxwell, and i'm about to give it a chance (well, i'll make some comparison tests)...

My question is not about the main soft price, but about rendernodes price... Vray went crazy with V3... they changed from 10 rendernodes for free with any main license to "all nodes have to be bought"...

What is Corona's plans for render nodes ?
