[Max] General Discussion / 2x FairSaas

« on: 2015-05-07, 15:10:34 »

Hi.
I haz FairSaaS with 3 nodes at home, paying it myself. Today our general manager said it is ok to order Corona V1 for me (Finally).
Is it possible to run three nodes with my serial and the new nodes + workstation lic in our work network?
At home I need only one - and if this would be / is possible, then we would have 1ws+3nodes+3nodes at my VIZ things at work.

Or if I accidentally buy 1ws+5nodes to our work, and then add my own 3 here also.
Legal or not legal to do this?

General CG Discussion / switchin to iMac

« on: 2014-12-03, 09:41:34 »

Hi, just wanted to ask if people here use Mac for viz-work. I would like to buy a 27" iMac but I understood there is no
3ds max for OSX. Correct me if I am wrong and tell me what software you guys use.
...If I cant get Corona to mac, then I will stay with PC/Windows.

Hi, I am not the best in this forum but I like to render with Corona :)
I would like to know how I could make the last renderings in here better, any tricks to make this looks like real-life-photo?

General CG Discussion / Render engines at 100%

« on: 2014-09-19, 10:59:45 »

I love working with Corona. One week ago I had to revert back to Mental Ray for one loooooong animation and an old problem came along.
As my computer renders a mental ray-image, everything is so slow. Cant do much anything with my computer when CPU-meter is at ~100%.
How come I can do much everything when I render with Corona and the CPU-meter is at ~100%?
Dont get me wrong, this is a good thing. Keymaster seems to be one hell of a coder :)

Is there same things with Vray? ..I have never used that.
No going back to mental ray - that would be just mental.

[Max] I need help! / Alu

« on: 2014-09-02, 07:21:06 »

Dear lords of the material editor, I would like to see someone do a replica of this.
I seem to have a problem balancing the IOR/ref/glos-values to get a decent aluminium.

« on: 2014-03-27, 13:44:51 »

Hi. I am waiting for http://coronamaterials.com/ but in the meantime... Could you guys post your settings for a good or decent
Stainless Steel, if you have good brush-maps, post them also if you can.
That material is something I just cant duplicate and that is why I am asking for some help :)

Work in Progress/Tests / Our office

« on: 2014-03-25, 20:30:46 »

This is something I have been working on.. I decided to model our whole office.
I had this rendering opened in Photoshop and my wife asked me if I really have a iMac at work.
Then I put the picture to FB saying I got iMac today and now people think it is real...

[Max] General Discussion / Farm/animation-rendering of a building - Grass needed :)

« on: 2014-03-10, 09:40:02 »

I´m doing some pics for my dad, he is building storage/workplaces here in Finland and I got the 2D-DWGs.


I did a very basic animation, camera just flew over  the buildings and came back. I used our small farm at my work to render it.
The trees are Corona_scattered and one farm-comp didnt understand it, all the frames it rendered had the trees in
different places. -Dont have any idea why- need to re-render it.

Anyways, I would be interest to know if anyone has good suggestions for how to render a decent grass for this?
I havent checked the dailybuilds - do they support hair/fur? If yes, can I deploy/install a dailybuild to all 7 computers?

[Max] General Discussion / HD Cache or..

« on: 2014-03-04, 10:10:36 »

Hi. I am a bit confused about those solvers.
For indoor-scenes I should use which solver as #1 and which as #2?
For scenes where I have some small thing and I use HDRI - I should use which solver as #1 and which as #2?
And will changing these make renderings finish faster?

Request: Particle rendering with motion blur. Particles work with Mesher - MB not supported.
Big thanks to the developers! Dont want to use MRay or iRay anymore :)

[Max] Resolved Bugs / 3dsmax+Corona a5+daylight+backburner

« on: 2013-12-05, 15:21:34 »

I made a simple animation. Camera moving along a circle, circle moving up and down > camera looking at an elevator.
I put the daylight as I saw in a youtube-video (

). 2000frames and the daylight
goes from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 during the frames. I get nice dawn and sunset in beginning/end.
Everything so good so far. I sent the animation to be rendered over my small renderfarm (6 pcs but not to my main comp which I use).
My main comp was not rendering in backburner but as I rendered some test frames before sending, my main comp rendered dawn/sunset.

After 10 frames done in the farm, I took a look at the jpegs. They didnt have "dawn" from daylight. They looked like they had just
basic daylight applyed. Anyone else get the same? The first rendered frame is about blueish and as I render the same first frame
on my main comp, it is "orangeish".
