Hey Martin,
not sure if it's known, but converter fails to change photometric light's shadow type to Corona if shape of those lights is set to anything but point.

Curious how bubbles in pot are made? It looks very good.

Not yet. You can post about it to feature request section, as i don't recall anyone asking about it.

You should probably open a support ticket: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

There's clearly visible polygon edges in your Corona render (ear, chin). Can you render with grey material to see if it's made by displacement or by SSS?

This is already known and logged, no need for reporting :]

I was asking about smoothing, not faceted noise bug, but if you say it's working fine i latest  build, then i'll wait for it to become available for us mortals :]

Well if it's a bug and it will be adressed, than it's even better :]

One more question, though. Why do you guys opted to non smoothed polygons output after displacement? Or it is temporary too?

There's quite clearly visible line seen where subdivision gets lower when screen size mode is used. In attached picture is shown comparison between world size (left) and screen size (right). Maybe some kind of treshold spinner could be introduced in CoronaDisplacementModifier to allow user to fine tune when adaptivity kicks in?

Ifl format is not supported at the moment. You have to use native bitmap loader for that.

Moving topic to feature request section.

Edit: i edited your post to rename topic.

Build jul 21

• Displacement filtering not working. Changing filtering blur affects only subdivision pattern, but displacement itself remains the same no matter blur value.
  
• Displacement produces kinda faceted result. See attached pic.

Is it known issues or should i start filling mantis report?

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / CoronaBitmap - slight navigation improvement

« on: 2015-07-21, 09:44:49 »

I think navigation between offset and tiling U/V fields by using tab / shift-tab or arrow keys might be improved. In native bitmap loader it is working like this: offset U <-> offset V <-> tiling U <-> tiling V which makes to do changes in say tiling very easy. In CoronaBitmap however it works differently: offset U <-> tiling U <-> tiling mode U and offset V <-> tiling V <-> tiling mode V I found it way less convenient.

Ok then, thanks to all for answering!

[Max] I need help! / Resource efficiency question

« on: 2015-07-20, 22:45:38 »

Does Corona see difference in terms of resource efficiency between workflow shown in attached images A and B? Does it load same bitmap multiple times in case A?
