I'm noticing slower performance on RC4 too. Especially very choppy performance when orbiting even the simplest objects/scenes in IR mode. This is on max 2016 and a single xeon 2696v4 cpu. It's as if the update to boost performance on many threads has done the opposite :)

Very impressed with the size of the new library! Great work guys.

A request would be to have a "settings button" or tab where we could change the asset path. I.e. put the material folder on a network drive and link to that so it's shareable on the network and nodes can access maps. Just like with Siger Shaders.

Connecter ! :- )

...And could even IES if Corona makes it droppable slot)

+1

If not, is there a way to change the default path that pops up when clicking new light's IES slot? But seriously, drag 'n drop would be lovely for IES as Connecter handles them previews like a baws.

Thanks Juraj

Also, I'm pretty sure Mr. Cop is trolling ;)

When I notice I'm sitting talking to myself about the images, the work is usually extraordinary - or I'm just a bit loony. Amazing work yet again guys. Real stunner!

Are you still using that special framebuffer plugin for CC tweaks or how does you workflow look nowadays once the render finishes? Feel free to point to a different thread if you've answered this recently ;)

[Max] I need help! / Re: Corona Image Editor - output gamma?
« on: 2017-09-03, 18:30:41 »
Small bump, I forgot about this problem and here we are again. What am I doing wrong here?

When I send a job to my render node, I save my img output with a gamma overide of 2.2 and save as a .cexr

When I then load the .cexr on my workstation in the CIE everything looks great and I tweak the lightmix as I want. If I now save to jpg, bmp or png it burns in the gamma of 2.2 nicely, but I only get an 8bit image to play with in PS.

If I save as a normal .exr the gamma goes back to 1 and I have to retweak in PS. Is there a way to save the exr with a gammaoveride like from max?

I perhaps absolutely don't understand the question properly...but isn't 'Camera shift (vertical)' doing exactly that ?

You change resolution composition to more vertical (just like PS canvas) and then shift the camera up to remove the unnecessary bottom part. Nothing regarding the perspective changes, the net end result is simply added upper part on top of original composition.
The only difference to PS Canvas is the slight order of things, as Canvas lets you shift directly at resize, but 3dMas imitates tilt-shift lens process, results are absolutely identical though.

hmm, I feel slightly silly now. That does indeed seem to do the job. Thanks Juraj, hadn't thought of utilizing the lenshift and output size like that. Apparently I'm not the only one :)

Love these "aha" moments. Cheers man!

Hey mate did you find any solution? Sometime ago i wanted to render a little wide, but as your problem, its really hard to do.

Sorry no, still haven't found a good solution to this.

129
hehe no worries fraine, still appreciated ;)

Bormax suggested me this script in a dif thread. I would love to see this function in the coming corona cam:
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/camera-resolution-mod

(a per cam render output/aspect res).

131
Thank you Bormax, it's not quite what I was looking for, but definitely useful for my workflow as well! Maybe we could suggest this script function was incorporated with the new corona camera. Kind of like you can force dof off on a pr camera basis.

Recap of this thread:
Railclone:
1) Instancing on - works as expected, parsing is faster, there is an issue with randomizing.
2) Instancing off- works as expected
3) Randomizing does not work when instancing is enabled - using Corona Multi Map

Jens, could you contact us about this at support@corona-renderer.com with a very simple scene demonstrating this? It could be even a scene like in your screenshots, with some boxes scattered around.

If there are some other issues with Railclone or other iToo plugins, please also report them at support@, but one issue per one separate email please.

Done.

It's a general problem that Corona doesn't seem to recognize the way RC "manipulates" the instances with it's "Instancing engine". Neither random mat IDs or UVW offsets nodes work. Corona only sees the scattered object as the exact same instance, hence no randomization will occur. So the new Corona UVW randomizer doesn't work either. - Unless we turn the instancing engine off, but that comes with the drawbacks listed above.

133
I'd love to see that script. Thanks for chiming in.

Just rendering bigger and cropping from now on seems like a solid idea though ;)

Hi guys

I'm looking for a solution to 3ds max that works like when you want to resize the Canvas Size in photoshop. Basically adding X amount of pixels to only the top of my image.

If I change the height in render output I will also get "extra" ground that I have to render.

There's this script: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/overscan but it requires you to render twice and comp in PS.

Can it be done without comping, region renders and all sorts of other workarounds? :)

ForestPack: Try to avoid using object exclude areas with high resolution and also if you are using spline exclude/include areas keep those splines with smallest vertex count as possible(use normalize spline modifier for example)...then you will see speed up in transforming vertices pass.

Sadly this isn't something I can apply to my scene as it my exclude splines are indeed very simple (4-10vertices). I'm still pretty sure it's the missing support of "instancing". Very noticeably in this case as I'm doing large building facades with custom tiles and wood cladding.
