Hi
finally I got the HP computer after a long wait. But I´m having big problems to make it run with Windows 11. Either with a clean instal or with our company's image-file.

It´s running but slow as hell...

What about you Juraj? Are you on W10 or W11?

Thanx Juraj!

The company I work for only use HP as vendor, so I guess it will be Xeon then. But good to read that Intel is catching up in performance on AMD.

My machine now have 2x Xeon Gold 6226R, so the performance hit should be radical, or?

Yes it is, sorry my mistake!

We made some local solution, but the problem seems to be McAffe antivirus program. It wont let licensserver to be instaled correctly.

But I´m up and running for now ;)

Hi
Regarding the new tonemapping, is it possible to rerender old scenes with old settings in VFB? Do I get the same look?

The thing is - you don´t rotate the max cam. Just set the film width to 24mm and output size to portrait with image aspect=0,67777. Then the 24mm max cam performs the same as a real rotated 24mm cam in portrait mode without adjusting the focal length.

@Alex, when you rotate the real camera to portrait the film size rotates from 36x24mm to 24x36mm. So when doing portrait mode in 3D the film size should be 24mm.

CoronaCam vertical shift doesn´t work. The field of view is changing when shifting. You can fix it with the zoom factor, but that is not so slick…

Hi

Big thanks for the RC!

About the Corona Cam, what is the best way to use it. I want to change the f-stop, ISO and shutter speed when rendering, and thought I could do it by changing the cam settings instead of using “simple exposure”,  but it doesn’t seems to work…?

Does it need exposure control in the environment?
What should I thick in the render setup?
