[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: Corona and Deadline

« on: 2013-03-21, 18:13:53 »

Hi Loocas. Sure. The path is correct. It´s deadline 5.0

   It seems that´s getting an DLL error loading Corona, but corona is workin on those machines...

    Its very strange... Corona is up and running ok on the farma machines, i logged one machine using VLC and opened my scene manually, press render and it rendered ok. No problems.
   
      But in deadline none of the machines rendered. I will paste the log of one machine here :

============================================================================
Error Type:

RenderPluginException

Great render ! :) Smooth. :)

     Maybe some more detail /shader work is needed to the pad to be on par with the rest.

Gallery / Car Rendering - Arnold "Wannabe"

« on: 2013-03-21, 15:56:37 »

I Was looking at the incredible Arnold Render Demoreel yesterday, and set a little challenge to me. To model, set and render an specific scene on the last night. (Take a look at Arnold Reference :

t=0m53s )
     Of course it´s only a study (i know the tires has not textures or bumps), but i am very happy with Corona.
      The only down side is that it was "impossible" to me to get rid of some noise on the floor near the car shadows. I don´t know why, but i went to sleep and leave the progressive running, after 6 hours the little noise stills there. Very little but annoying.
      The fault is probably mine (i didnt tweak any fancy corona settings yet. Just using defaults.

       Corona is becoming my addiction (i can´t stop rendering things EVERYDAY). :)
       BTW : The car model is not mine, i´ve just modeled the "room". :)

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona and Deadline - SOLVED

« on: 2013-03-20, 07:32:50 »

Today i´ve tried to put a simples animation test over my network. I was using Deadline Manager. It seems to be rendering but no frames are saved. Is there any limitation to use render managers on network rendering ?
    tomorrow i will check the log file of the errors. Maybe is not related to Corona/Deadline.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: After updating is not open scene

« on: 2013-03-19, 15:43:41 »

I am getting another strange behavior. Sometimes the VFB don´t shows any image, but it´s rendering. If i close the VFB its more likely to happen, if i keep the VFB opened all the time, never happens.
    Just get it back to apear closing Max and opening it again. So i never close the VFB. But i guess it could be some Video Driver problem...

 I am trying to render an little animation test using Corona A4 and i´ve set the Progressive render to 1minute per frame, and it´s saving the frames when reaching just 20s...

    Btw, i tried to turn of the "Stamp" on the image and it´s ignoring this checkbox too...

   
Opss...Update. I´ve closed Max and open Again. Now it´s working as expected. :)

Hi Rawalanche, the Map blur is already on the minimum. I was talking a with a friend that´s testing Corona too, and he said to try the maximum bump value (99). It worked for him. I will give a try. :)

     This image was a crop of a bigger one. The Blur is not a traditional Blur, its a simulation of TiltShift blur. Part of the blur was made in Corona and an extra blur (tiltshift) in Post, using a Zbuffer + tweak.
     Thankyou for your reply :)
      This is the whole image ->

Gallery / RetroComputer Prototype

« on: 2013-03-17, 20:58:15 »

Hello There. I´m a Senior 3DGeneralist/VfxSupervisor, working with 3D for about 15 years. This is my fist post on this forum.

   I´ve discovered Corona Render yesterday, and i am shocked with it´s quality and speed of Setup in an Alpha Stage!

    This is my first try using Corona. It´s a prototype of my new DIY All-in-one retrocomputer, based on Open Source Hardware Board (RaspberryPi).

     This is a CloseUp of a bigger image. Hope you guys liked (it´s a Wip).
 
      I got some problems just to setup the bump Mapping on Corona. I guess it´s not working at this stage, or i just don´t know how to use it well... I am trying values like 30 (default on Max is 1), and nothing happens. No Bump Mapping apearing...
