Daily builds version 3

[sevecek]

Calculating Bloom & Glare seems to really bring my system to a standstill at the minute, I don't remember it being quite so intensive to calculate in previous builds. Is it the GPU handling this feature these days or is it still on the CPU?

Besides the NVIDIA denoiser, everything is still CPU.

A controllable level of denoising for AI denoising during IR is being considered but no promises...

I would be more interested in controlable start of AI denoiser during IR, or at least in delayed denoising start by default. More often than not, denoising just after first pass, makes image into unreadable mess, but after few more passes it starts to work very well.

I read on the forum somewhere a while ago that a bloom/glare progress slider was being implemented or considered - is this still happening?

Yes, we're still planning to do that, but so far we haven't had the time to implement it.

It would be a welcome feature

No problem, thanks for the update.

Have you had any other reports of Bloom and Glare becoming more processor intensive? I have a well-specced machine and any change to a bloom/glare option results in an unresponsive UI and very slow updates from the actual change I just made - it almost feels more like a render process than an interactive post-effect.

Hi,
I found out with the latest daily, that using CoronaUVWrandomiser in bump map slot is not working.
It behaves like there is no map in the slot at all.
Does anyone have the same issue?

Most likely you need to use a Corona bump converter node, as ANY form of colour correction, transformation or mixing is unsupported by the native Max bump workflow.

Update on this: CloudN9 reported that now it's working fine in V3RC4.
I've just tested this and can confirm it's working as expected (even without the bump converter).

Are you sure this is something new in version 3 daily builds? I am pretty sure it's one of those light transport issues where dark highlights appear. It happens when using fake lights (e.g. invisible, with occlude other lights disabled, etc.).

Tilt & Shift not working on scene opening, I need to cycle it off and then back on everytime I open a file

This is confirmed, but most probably happening only to scenes saved with a specific daily build and then opened with a newer one.
We could not reproduce it in new scenes.
We have however logged it and will look into it.

its true its because of visibility in reflection disabled as it says in the link you provided any ways
i didn't knew sorry for trouble.maybe in future you can solve this

In latest build, render is saved to history without high quality denoising applied. Quick denoising works fine.

Just to remind - this is still broken in RC4.

I have a "bigger" scene here - a concert hall with a lot of simple instances (about 7.500 objects, roughly 600k polys)
IR is very, very slow - starting it takes 5 to 15 seconds, moving around is impossible. It doesnt matter if i render the whole scene or just one isolated object.
I reverted back to v2 and all works as expected again. Fast and smooth.

tested in v3 rc4

Any chance of uploading that scene? There is the private uploader - https://corona-renderer.com/upload

Having a known example, rather than trying to create a scene and hoping we replicate the problem, is always incredibly helpful for developing and bug fixing :)

I just uploaded it!
