Hi

Tried now to install the latest build, but got following messages. Max starts but it miss Corona render engine.

I have Max 2014 and I used files downloaded from Dropbox 2013-Release folder. I unpacked them to the 3ds Max 2014 root folder as I did always. Before this build I had Corona 1.3 with no builds installed

there are new DLLs, run the installer in root directory first

Where's the LIKE button when it's needed?! :] Excellent addition!

Now it's working! Thank you Ondra!

New builds shows excessively high ray/samples numbers during GI precalc phase. However during rendering it gradually falls to normal values. Is it normal behaviour?

[Ondra]

probably not, can you mantis it?

Hi.
Trying now new build. It works fine.
In one of previous build's (17.12.2015) changelog read "Global speedup: 5-10% faster rendering in all scenes". Tried now to compare rendering speed with clean 1.3 version, made a few short time renders - clear Corona 1.3 gave me 1 pass more than today's build, and pictures look the identical

there are cases where it works better, and where it works worse. From 3 measurements we are able to get 4 different times ;). When we do tests, we see that PCs randomly drop performance by up to 20% for half an hour, then go back to regular performance - could be antivirus, updates, ... So only reliable thing is doing a lot of measurements and averaging them (which came out to about 7% here for us ;))

Thanks Ondra!
I'll try longer renders to compare. But anyway, that's great to know that new speedups are coming! Thank you!

• .conf files now have human-readable properties for GI solvers, render engines, …

Does older numeric propertie's naming still works? It was much easier to change something without knowing exact propertie's names.

[Ondra]

nope. I will add it

[romullus]

Thank you!
