Which V-Ray feature should we bring to Corona?

[Per Bergs]

Hi Kosso,

Sounds great.
I mean great you where able to test it.

As for SD. I put here a link to the presentation I viewed.

Lot of commercial sales stuff talk but the demo starts at min 25.
It maybe explains you better what I mean.

Cheers

I watched the video from the link you posted. Well, VrScans can do exactly the same. Minus the tiling part, because all the VrScans tile perfectly well from the start.

[Per Bergs]

Thanks for clearing that out! :)

So, that means Vrscans in Corona and buying that scanning machine from Chaosgroup for me;))
Luckily Christmas is coming :)

Cheers

100 percent the biggest issue I see that corona is missing is vray's licensing model were you buy a release and get the point releases associated with that number release. Only then paying for the next number upgrade. Your present box licensing system serves as nothing more than placating those who have no interest in subscriptions  but doing so in the most begrudging ugly fashion i.e offering no point releases over the lifetime of that number release. Neither of your current offerings(subs/box) would be acceptable to me at present for example.

Happy vray for modo user here, but always curious with what corona is doing.Hope some good changes come from your acquisition, congrats on becoming part of choas group its a great move imho.

Wow, that's a biggy.....

I'm currently trialling Corona and am confident I'll end up purchasing it (well I was until I read your comment) - so if I've understood you correctly, I wouldn't now go and purchase a boxed version (my preference is always to purchase, never to rent), if it didn't also entitle me to any updates / fixes in between major releases......

Definitely agree that this needs refining (imho).

Hi. I would recommend that you take a look at Coronas website yourself regarding this. You can expand a Box license with an upgrade subscription.

Yes, you were right to advise that, as basically Photomg1 was wrong.

A perpetual licence version of corona would suit me perfectly as I would then only pay a relatively small yearly maintenance fee to keep current.

Compatybility with plugin Vray Pattern

Already tried, although the plugin has "Vray" in name, it is not created nor developed by chaosgroup, so they cannot help us here :(

[Fluss]

_Glossy fresnel
_Cryptomatte
_Masking elements visible in reflections/refractions
_Coated material
_Deep exr
_2D displacement (planned)
_OSL support
_caustics (planned)
_Working env. overrides
_ Ondra and Vlado scanned 3d models for material preview

[JG_monomiru]

- VrayClipper Objects
- multi-matte elements with option for refraction and reflection in materials

I did some feature Request before - but as you asked so nicely :D

[DPS]

I have a few suggestions

1) Would be great if the bump map had the ability to specify bump amount in scene units. I think vray must normalize the input map to be able to do this.
2) 2D displacement
3) Auto normal mapping during displacement
4) Toon shader - the workarounds don't look decent enough IMO.
5) I wish the Warp texture would work - this was one of the reasons I switched from mental ray to Vray. Third party shaders seemed to just work. It seems to work as expected sometimes but no others. An incredibly useful map IMO.
6) GPU lens effects and denoising.
7) As far as I can tell, within Corona, materials don't display in viewport at high res regardless of viewport properties?

Well, I understand that, appreciate your response.

I'm not sure if this have been already suggested but it would be extremely useful to have adaptive lighting in Corona. Using this in Vray I'm able to render scene with thousand of lights basically without any slowdown.

I believe the new light solver does this or at least i remember reading about probabilistic lighting somewhere here.
I think you have to check the box but it might be default in v2. I think in v3 its standard

[TomG]

Still needs checking in Corona 3, off by default until Corona 4 (when we do some last fine tuning and fixing of bugs and edge cases).
