Daily Builds 1.6

Temporary workaround is that if you use "alpha channel" as pass, it will be saved correctly as separate pass.

But the alpha saved in image will still be incorrect.

In my case the alpha gets wrong with DR and refractive glass ( I am using refraction override too, didn't check it if changes something ).

Does all of this happen in 32bit EXR too?  or is it only in 8/16bit PS ?

Sometimes when pressing save button in VFB, dump exr dialog is open instead. This happens very rarely, like one time out of hundred and i don't know how to reproduce it. Can't remember when it happened for the first time, but i think it was with introduction of 1.6 dailies.

imho, maybe that case just when a lag of computer interface happen then we accidentally press-hold save button and the cursor dragged to the second choice "dump EXR". :)

If that would happen when i hold and click on save, i wouldn't even report it. Thing is that this happens when i simply click on save and when that happens it's persistent - i close dialog, click again and it still opens dump exr. So no, i don't think that laggy computer, faulty mouse or sloppy user is in fault :]

I wonder if anyone finds current implementation of feathered region render useful? Now if i try to use it, it gives nasty heavily undersampled pixels towards region edges, which makes this feature completely useless. I think Corona should sample feathered area as much as main region and gradually lower pixels opacity towards feather edge. That would allow seamless blending with already existing image and would give expected results. Or do i misunderstand its ussage?

Some bug of the Corona triplanar map in the Bump material slot///
Same instance of the Triplanar map in the Bump slot rendering different:

I found this feature useful. I like it. I do not have the problem you described here. Corona spreads samples evenly on zoomed region area.
I still use Max 2014

[romullus]

That's interesting. Could you show some example?

Max 2014 - do not have this problem. Bump and diffuse maps are in the same position

[Bormax]

Sure
Here it is

[romullus]

Hmm, that doesn't look like fuzzy / feathered region render - noise distributions looks evenly spread across all region area. Besides you should do your test on relatively clean image, otherwise undersampled pixels in feathered region is much harder to spot.

[Bormax]

This is another test

[Bormax]

And here the same zoomed region rendered longer time to get cleaner result.
Is it what you want to see?

[romullus]

It's either you don't know what feathered region render is, or there is something wrong with my installation... :/
