[Max] Resolved Bugs / Mix material does not support Displacement

« on: 2014-02-19, 11:22:14 »

Hi

Mix material does not support Displacement, it causes Max to crash upon rendering

see http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,2771.0.html

Work in Progress/Tests / Belly's WIP

« on: 2014-02-19, 10:51:21 »

Hi All

My first goal was trying to setup a descent Studio Setup file:
Lightning: Corona Lights (6500 Kelvin)

Then I wanted to test some material settings, I used the PK9 model from Paul Kjaerholm (downloaded it from Friz Hansen)
Render settings: PT (default) + HD (default) + DOF + Gaussian Width 2 px and 2 hr cooking.

Problems I ran into: The mapping on the model was bad. I used Neil Blevins BlendedBoxMapMaker script (part of the famous Soulburn Scripts) on the leather part of the chair.
The script makes use of MIX maps. Max/Corona crashes whenever I want to render with MIX maps attached to the Displacenment slot of the leather material. So I had to use Bump instead.

POST: yes mainly exposure and a few colour corrections + vignetting.

cheers

I have a separate external folder containing different builds with all plugin and dll files (A5, dailies, important steps etc). One of these subfolders is referenced in all the plugin inis over the network (or more precisely: they all include another ini which targets the plugin folder, easier to maintain that way). The important thing is to include the path where the dlls lie into the path environment variable on every machine - without that max will fail loading and complain about missing dlls.
So this way I don't need to have the files in my max folder and can just rename the build's folders which then load different files on each max start.

I wish I was smart as this man :- ) I would simplify my brute approach to everything so much. But I am primitive, so I'll guess I'll just need to get a hold on of some tech guy instead.

OK, I have to admit I feel the same way as Juraj.
But thanks Deadclown I will give it a try.

cheers

@Keymaster

is it possible to install the daily builds next to A5 (on one/same PC)
If so, is it still possible to use Backburner and will backburner choose for A5 whenever a job is assigned to that PC?
(Hope it is clear what I mean)

Why?
Cause I use A5 for my commercial projects, but I am willing to test the daily builds.

[Max] General Discussion / Re: How to use matte-shadow material in Corona?

« on: 2014-02-13, 09:39:01 »

Hi Sintel, welcome to the forum.

There is no detailed manual at the moment. Corona is still in a developing state. But I guess whenever the commercial version is there, a detailed guide/manuel will be avaible.
At the moment you can find a lot of info on this forum. Als have a look at the blog of POLYMAX http://cgpolymax.blogspot.ru/p/corona-renderer-faq.html
I do not know if there is an option for matte-shadow in Corona at the moment, because I do not need it.

Cheers
