Thanks for the feedback.  Rendering camera only flythroughs are pretty fast.  I can get clean enough renders with only 10 passes.  I guess I'll use Vray for any animations that have moving objects since it seems it would be quicker to set up and render flicker free.

Create a turntable animation and save it out as a .mov file.  If he views it with a Quicktime player he should be able to scrub through it.

Can someone direct me to a good tut showing how to efficiently ti calculate gi for moving objects in a Corona animation?  In vray, I just unchecked reuse irradiance map on my moving objects and GI would calculate on the fly for those objects only without a hit on render times.

Thanks,

So when I'm in the Corona VFB and right click, I don't get the option to select point of focus.  It only works in the Viewport Real-time viewer?  Is that by design?  I looked at the feature video and it shows that it should work for both.  3ds MAX 2019 and Corona 4 Hotfix 1.

We've rendered images at 10k x 10k  at 300 dpi for large billboard size prints.  Once we finishes the rendering we use onOne software to upscale as needed.  As others mentioned, anything over 300 dpi will not make a difference.  So it will be a waste of render time.

So you're faking your lighting.  Why not use an hdri that creates more diffuse lighting and then the corona sun for your hard shadows and lighting?

Does it work for 2019. I tried running it and it fails.

I've been running into some file lock ups when running the interative mode and 3ds MAX autosaving. I always have to kill my session when it happens, which means if I forget to save or a autoback file is not saved, I loose work.

Anyone else running into this?

Just use the Coronarayswitch material.  This will allow you to directly show the wood texture, but use a separate material to generate your gi contribution.  It will help control the color bleed.

Funny...SKP and Revit users always feel that apps at the same.  "Can't you just pull the side over to encompass everything?" No..in the real world lenses don't act like that." Designer: "Oh."
