Corona porn! The glass is simply perfect.

I think leaves should have more "juicy" yellowish colour where the light is passing through. Some more reflectivity and a subtle bump map could also help. All these things are probably dependant on the kind of plant you are referring to. :) And yes, better geometry (for example leaves bending in some direction) would be nice.

Here are some examples:

Looks promising. This could be very useful if posted in a form of tutorial.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: AA low quality - How to increase it?

« on: 2014-02-14, 10:56:17 »

after reading the post "Path tracing samples VS passes", I understood that it is the number of passes that increase the AA quality

I didn't know about the fact that reducing pt samples could improve aa.

You should have known this if you really read that thread. :)

But yeah, this is something illuminating at the beginning of adventures with Corona. This is something every new user should know and it should be written with huge letters once the documentation is made.

I don't "need" this, just thought it would be a useful option. Some users will probably want it anyway. Maybe an additional "use solid colour - fake" checkbox would be useful?

So it's a feature.

Could it be faked with solid colour? Maybe? :>

Build timestamp: Jan 24 2014 23:16:32
Could anyone check if it also happens in newer builds? Happens only with rectangle, disc and cylindrical lights with directionality >0,5.

Looks like we have new cutscenes for MTV. ;)

Seriously, this thread may be harmful to new forum members. :/

Because Keymaster released v10 like... 2 months ago?

Just asking out of curiosity - what will happen to daily builds and alpha releases after the final Corona version is released. I mean, would it be illegal to use them?

In my opinion, previous one was more realistic.

If not the curtain and the view behind window, I would say these are photos. You deserve instant place in gallery and access to daily builds. :)

The weather suggests there is a tsunami heading towards you. You should definitely make the background brighter. Browsing through some reference photos or other renders might help here. :)

What kind of image sampler (multisampling) did you use for you comparison? I think it would be best to use fixed@1 subdiv in Vray and 1 pass in Corona for an honest test.
