[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Toon Render Element and Corona object properties

« on: 2023-01-17, 11:17:31 »

Thanks. For me personally, and I would guess a lot of people that work on similar jobs, the ability to make things not reflect in selected objects is more important than the toon shader. I do a lot of visualisations of kitchens and bathrooms and the ability to add bounceboards to add shading to chrome objects like oven handles or taps without it affecting other objects such as glass and mirrors is vital.

Thanks again for taking note

About both of the requests: everything is possible, but those items are definitely low-priority considering the direction in which Corona development has always been going. Corona's aim is physical correctness with as little fakes as possible.
V-Ray (as you mentioned) is a better choice when such features are the priority.

I appreciate the reply but I don't think it makes much sense if I'm being honest. We can make lights not visible in reflections and objects not cast shadows or not be visible to camera, not visible in refractions and reflections etc already. Selecting one object to not reflect into is just a small extension of this and a vital one. If I want to add shading to a chrome tap using a bounce box without it reflecting in the sink or the window there is currently no way to do this without it being 2 renders. It doesnt even seem like it would be much work

[Max] Feature Requests / Toon Render Element and Corona object properties

« on: 2022-12-16, 17:20:37 »

There have been 2 changes I've been needing for years that never seem to get a mention. A corona equivalent to vray properties so that I can make an objective not reflect in another specific object but still in everything else and a toon render element to add a pencil line around objects (for whitecards in my case) like vray. Any chance of these happening?

[Max] I need help! / Re: Chaos Scatter won't install or open

I've sorted it thanks. I only copied the stuff for the autodesk folder and not the chaos group folder! I've still got no idea why it won't install automatically like every other machine but I'll worry about that next time I update.

Thanks anyway

[Max] I need help! / Chaos Scatter won't install or open

« on: 2022-10-31, 16:03:59 »

Hi, I've recently upgraded my whole team to max 2023 and corona 9. On 2 of our machines out of 30, Chaos Scatter just will not install no matter what I do. It doesnt appear in the plugins folder but it is in the appdata folder for some reason.

When I unpack the installer and copy the chaos scatter files into the right locations it comes up saying the plugin was unable to start.

My machine is one of the newest and is quite high spec so theres no reason that I can think of for it to not work.

Any ideas would be very helpful thanks

[Max] General Discussion / Adding more licenses to an account

« on: 2022-05-11, 14:10:46 »

Hi, I'm hoping somebody can help me with something that should be simple but really isnt.

I have 5 licenses on my account and I want to add 9 more. The only way I can see to buy licenses is with the buy button the homepage but theres no request for account details on the payment form so I don't know if these new licenses will link to my current account with the other 5.

Has anybody done this or know how?

Thanks,

Danny

these look really nice. Had a look at some of your other work on behance and love the style of your interior shots. Would be nice to see your lighting and camera set up

[Max] I need help! / Blurred interactive renders.

« on: 2021-11-17, 14:12:33 »

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing blurred interactive renders or knows how to sort out the issue? I dont have any denoiser set up and I don't have the fast preview box ticked.

When I press render it renders fine but interactives are really blurry and I can't figure out why.

Thanks in advance
