As for the FTH stuff: Same as this

https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,11913.msg76836.html#msg76836

again?

Disabling FTH should be easy and safe (I use the reg setting [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FTH]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000 in a startup script for every node)

I´d rather suspect rpmanager or something else to do something nasty and being responsible for your corrupt scenes to be honest.


Good Luck

actually the currupted scenes happened before installing RP Manager last time and the none of the solutions actually helped except after the RP manager install so it actually helped, will retry all these solutions you guys suggested now on windows 10 but on microsoft website its no recommended so idk

[Frood]

They for sure also recommend not to disable Cortana, automatic updates, telemetry, CEIP, OneDrive and other "usefull stuff", so...

Good Luck

ART physical material parsing now supports clearcoat and SSS (A bit)

Is there any ETA on fixed fresnel ?

And is the work going towards (the very poor) Art physical material at the expense of improved Corona PBR material ?

No, supporting ART is 3ds Max API thing, which is my domain. PBR shading is research topic done by Jaroslav (who is currently on vacation)

Not supporting ART mtl was a glaring omission that had to be fixed, but I certainly did not expect it to take so long ;)

Since support for new max features like the Physical Material is talked about, Object Map and Shape Map would be two very useful features to support as well. There was a thread about this mentioning basic support only, for example in a diffuse slot, but not as a mask in a Blend or CoronaLayerMtl for example.

I see that Corona Triplanar UVW Mapping is missing in trello roadmap. Would be great to have it, though.

We removed it from out TODO since Autodesk is adding a standard one into the max 2017

That's too bad. I'm stuck with max 2016, the last version with perpetual licence.

Is it by purpose that the cubemap projection type override renders the imag(es) flipped horizontally?

And why is the sequence Front-Back-Up-Down-Right-Left and not something else? Will the order be customizable in future (ini/string options)?

Thank you

That's basically the convention and there is not much use in changing that. Chaosgroup and the others do it the same way.

I was wondering if there is some convention besides some industry de facto standard. For example my currently used pano converter expects F-R-B-L-U-D so I cannot feed it directly with the output. Changing the order would have much use right now for me.

Well I hope that horzontally flipping at least is only a bug :]


Good Luck

sorry if it has already been discussed, but just wanted to leave some feedback on the vignetting. In the latest daily, it seems to just overlay the render with a black vignette, rather than lowering the exposure. Also can we have a 'retain highlights' option? Camera RAW in photoshop does vignetting very well in my opinion, whould be great if corona could work the same as that.

cheers,
