Chaos Corona for 3ds Max > [Max] General Discussion
Chaos Vantage who is actually using it ?
JoeS:
I have not used Vantage and I am unsure why it's such a big deal ?
Can anyone give me links to animations that are using it that have been exported from Corona ? Why would I want to pay an additional $1000 AUD to use it when I am already paying for Corona. Also does Vray not already have GPU rendering implemented ?
I am guessing its fast, but is it up to scratch in terms of quality compared to corona and vray. And why is it not its own renderer, why does it need to be exported out of max/c4d from existing render engines ?
Seems like a big spend to use it including the additional cost of getting high-end GPU's to get the most out of it.
Any expert opinion's on this would be great.

Check out the virtual tours by The Boundary.
I guess the target base is real-time, web-site integration, fast turnaround times for animation, etc. Offline rendering for Corona/Vray has its place, commercial high quality photo-realistic images. Real-time also has its place - for other platforms such as I mentioned above. Depends on your client base I suppose, what tools you need to deliver those projects.
JoeS:
The Boundary tour looks like Unreal not Vantage ? Can you out put a real-time app with Vantage and program in functionality ?
I understand game engines and how they can be applied for archviz etc. My question was about Vantage.

I dont think its Unreal, theres quite a few solutions around for virtual tours.

Not that I know of.
I assume the main reason for vantage at this point is working in real-time for animations and with on-site clients. Things like The Boundarys "Cinemagraphs" (slow pan-dolly gifs, wind blowing curtains etc). To your point sure you could use Vray GPU or Corona for this but if you have already done the work in 3dsmax and just want to see your animation in real-time then that would be pretty handy if you do lots of those things.
There is also a couple of case studies on the vantage site you can read about how those companies use it.
JoeS:
The Boundary bought Buildmedia NZ and their weapon of choice is Unreal.
But it's probably a mix of both.
