Its possible that the Corona decal does not work with Gradient ramp using it with "from material" or "from bitmap" too? Trying to print points onto surface using gradient ramp (in solid and radial mode) its not working for me.

Sorry, can you share more details of what you mean? If I place a Gradient or Gradient Ramp into a Physical Material Base color slot and then apply that to a decal, it shows up as expected. Can you share what your material and Decal set up is, what result you are getting, and what result you are trying to achieve? (I don't understand "Trying to print points onto a surface using gradient ramp", for example). Thanks!

I add another problem, the installation is not done correctly. Any idea how I can fix it? If I look in the folder the file ACEF.tmp does not exist. Thank you.

What I want to achieve is to use the circles, for example to apply them in opacity and thus have a perforated steel mesh. As you can see the same material applied to a box works fine, but it doesn't work applied to the Decal on the green box.

Hi.
It seems to be either wrong material setup, either incorrect mapping.
Corona Decal does not support real world scale currently. Decals use actual 1x1 UV space for the texture, even if the the texture is set to use real world scale.
What is set in the real world scale size is divided from 1. If 1cm is the system unit - 1cm in real world scale will be 1/1 = 1 tiling, 2cm will be 1/2 = 0.5 tiling in UV space.
See the images attached.
Try using decals without the real world scale mapping, for now.

Please make sure there is enough space on the local disc before running the installer.
You may try running it with admin rights as well.

The shutter settings are blanked out for me in the RC1 build. I can't adjust the shutter speed.
Is anyone else experiencing this? or am I missing something?

Please enable motion-blur controls first.

Hi,

Are you sure you installed the license server during the Corona installation? Try re-installing and see if that helps. If you continue to have troubles please contact support@corona-renderer.com and the guys will help you out.

This is something I wondered a while back. I get the logic of not allowing the user to control shutter speed stuff unless MB is enabled, but in the scenario where you're trying to match a backplate perfectly by inputting the real values from the photo/video footage, where the shutterspeed is just as important info as aperture and lens width etc. then it would be nice to be able to use those values without actually enabling the MB visual result.

A bit of a funny bug in RC1....

It seems the Chaos Scatter spacing for spline scatter is off by a factor of 1000.

Not sure if other things in scatter plug-in are affected, but if I scatter something along a line I have to multiply the distance I want by 1000 for it to work as expected... this is an older scene that was originally built in a daily 1-2 released ago, so not sure if that has caused the problem or not.

See attached screenshot.

Cheers!

Hi and thanks for reporting this, it's probably a bug so we will investigate further.

Hi Alex, the change was probably due to a bug, I believe we will restore the previous functionality.
