There just isn't the peoplepower to convert them, it would take much manual intervention and thus delay work on other things, so the solution is just to move them onto Cosmos as they are. After all, we wouldn't be revisiting them in the CML to convert them to Physical either, even if not moving to Cosmos. Any time developing materials would be better spent making new ones, anyway :)

PS - the CML will still be there, initially like today as part of the install, but in the future as a separate manual download and install if you really want it.

No fixed date yet, it's being developed to work with Enscape first, and once working, then we'll look into making it available in V-Ray and Corona. This means it MIGHT be in Corona 13 toward the end of this year - but also it might not :)

As a note though, moving the CML to Cosmos won't involve the materials updating to the new Physical Material.

Yep, we are aware of the patterns - I say patterns as we do know there is more than one thing going on.

TY for the additional information! Have to admit without looking too closely (because after all I am fixated on the beautiful car!) the person looked very consistent to me :)

Glad it helped! I did install a water cooling solution myself, again prebuilt so it was just putting in place in the machine, and all was well, just an additional bit of reassurance ;)

How did you maintain the person looking like the same person wearing the same thing each time? Did it start from an in-scene 3D model and then was enhanced in AI? Or some sort of ipadapter or other control net cleverness? All looks fantastic!

Water cooling is fine, pre-made pre-assembled loops from reputable companies won't burst :) Now assembling it yourself (assembling, not installing), or buying some cheap non-name brand, well.....

Admit it, you are one of the Voyager probes who has gained sentience in the depths of space and returned to earth and you are just sharing some of your 'holiday' snapshots with us ;) Looks great!

Work in Progress/Tests / Re: Juraj's Renderings thread

My apologies too, to Juraj :O

I started with ComfyUI, and picked it as I like node based editing vs. how Automatic1111 works; also there were "just download and run this and everything installs" for ComfyUI vs. "Go to github, download this, run some weird command, now go back to github to download this other thing, also be sure to install Python..." which I did not want to mess with ;) Plus then the Manager you can install into ComfyUI that makes it easy to install loads of other things, including automatically finding and installing missing nodes or functions used in a workflow (the "drag and drop the PNG output from ComfyUI into ComfyUI and it recreates all the nodes and prompts right there" is something else I also really like - no need to save that separately, it is all embedded in the image, and of course this makes it easy to get someone else's ComfyUI set up, just drop their image in there when they provide it for that purpose).

In the workflow I tested, I was using upscaling inside ComfyUI (so, Stable Diffusion run locally). I did indeed crop the whole person (and some surrounding area as it was a crude rectangle mask, which I would mask out when overlaying into the image, so I drew the more detailed mask at the end as it happens :) ), as I wanted to improve the skin and clothing overall as well as the all-important face. Hope this helps!

Nope, I haven't revisited the Trello board just yet, shouldn't be any major changes there though (but will give it a checkover soon).

There will indeed be limitations, same as there are limitations from V-Ray to Vantage, e.g. see here : https://docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/3ds+Max

As a general guide, if it doesn't work for V-Ray, we can expect it not to work for Corona too, and given this is an initial implementation, there may be extra restrictions or limitations for Corona.

And as noted, yes, no live link in Corona 12, this will be revisited after the release of 12 to see what is possible.

[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: Last daily download issues

Working fine here - can you explain more about what happens for you?

News or findings will show up in a daily build as a "we hope this fixes...." ;) Or if something comes up where we'd appreciate a test "if you disable this in the BIOS..." or similar. So that is when it all becomes relevant for folks to test things - up until then while we are testing internally, there won't be any news.
