Daily builds version 3

[Alina Hramyka]

is anyone having backburner issues? like not rendering at all through backburner? could be my setup...

I was rendered successfully
what exactly not working for you?

[Frood]

Hi, search lan on distribute render not working, could not find any computer

Can confirm (DB 18-08-30). Additionally ram information is (again) not displayed in DR tab. Had firewall(s) down, even used the installer to test - no change.

BTW installer: I just hate it. How should one test/manage Corona plugins while having different Max versions? When I want to install a daily for Max2016 I have the choice of:

- Selecting only Max 2016 with the consequence that the installer UNinstalls(!) my Max 2018 Corona plugin silently without any confirmation (same with Corona material library)

or

- Selecting Max 2016 and Max 2018 while replacing the Max 2018 plugin (e.g. a stable version) with the current daily

Generally I do not use the Installer but this time I forgot about that new behaviour while testing.

Though I understand that it may be the cleanest solution for final releases/hotfixes, it appears just insane to me how it currently acts.


Good Luck

Yeah, the new installer behavior is almost universally hated. We'll be reverting back to the original.

I don't know realy about this instaler isues.

Some may think tahat this is risky but i use only 1 3dsMAX instance on pc and using DB in daily routine.

[pokoy]

I have to use 2 max version side by side, I'd very much welcome the previous behaviour, right now it's a quick road to a big mess.

At all numbers spinners in VFB not working with values higher than 2 digits/
For example i can't set value 0,05 or -0,05 or 0,15 / 0,25  for saturation spinner, only 0,1  0,2 
or -0,1 - 0.2  -0.3  and etc.
Same thing for other's  settings :)

Also in all settings /Corona Sun,Corona Sky,Corona Light and even in materials /for example impossible to set bump map 0.05 /--exist same problem---very uncomfortable/ I'am going back to Db 08/16

Would it be possible to calculate noise level from non-denoised image when rendering with AI denoiser? Current behaviour makes rendering with noise limit to be very inonsistent between Corona and AI denoiser.

I guess it Max2019 problem.

"Added randomization by mesh component (contiguous triangle group) to CoronaMultiMap and CoronaUvwRandomizer"
Finally!!! Thank you so much )))

Can you explain what you mean? I just tested this, and I am getting the same noise level with optix on and off, in IR and regular rendering (14.09 build).

[romullus]

Hmm, i'm getting totally different result. Here's statistics from my quick test with 7% noise limit as stopping condition:

AI denoiser: 5 passes | 5,62% | 36s
Corona denoiser: 15 passes | 5,78% | 2m38s

[Nekrobul]

Well the new light solver issue is fixed.

What is the actual perceived image quality? Do they look the same? Because if so, that's an insane productivity boost...

I think there might be some confusion in how adaptivity calculation goes on. May be it is calculated if as denoiser is applyed in case of usage of AI denoiser.

--------------------------------------------

I have encounterd very strange issue. The scene created with 30-08 build is contineously crashing with latest build on start.

Also when i decided ti roll back to previous version i got error message that corona is currently being instaled X_X and found two instances of installer in taskmanager of latest daily build installer. I haven't captured the screenshots but i have minidump wich is in attachments.

UPD - yep its bug, i rolled back to 30-08 and scene had opened properly. I can do some aditional testing after i finish the work with this scene.

UPD2 - i copied it to mantis https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=3062

Well the new light solver issue is fixed.

Light solver(stable) and Optix, is sweetness in this retail driven deadline arena
