Didn't see this thread, I'll add mine:

Support for ICC Color Profiles. Since most of the print stuff is usually worked on in PS with something else than the sRGB profile, it would be good to be able to specify the intended color space.

Awesome! Glad to see to updates to this part of Corona.

My wishlist:

1. Filmic color mapping as an option: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,1807.0.html (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,1807.0.html) - I think this could really set Corona apart from the "other" renderers out there. The algorithm appears to already be in place, I'm sure DeadClown would be willing to help integrate it. Another good color mapping option that I haven't seen many other renderers attempt is "tasteful" out of the box HDR compression: http://19lights.com/wp/ (http://19lights.com/wp/)

Example comparison image:

(https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1807.0;attach=6648;image)

2. Some sort of glare / bloom options (perhaps even physically accurate?), similar to how Nox renderer handles this: http://vimeo.com/26261205 (http://vimeo.com/26261205) - would save on a lot of tedious post processing!

Cheers

I don't want to start a fanboy fight but I tested NOX vs Corona with a simple Cornell box scene and all I got with NOX was lots of fireflies and jagged edges. Built-in post processing is cool but it's not the most important feature you need. You can do all these things in some other (probably even free) application.

I've never tested it out, but have heard the same from other users who have (it's supposed to be quite buggy too?). One reason I really think built in glare / glow in the renderer would be superior than being done in photoshop is that you can exploit 3D / material data to get physically correct effects, rather than having to manually mask off portions of the image and fudge it. I agree it's not super important but would really make things interesting (glowing physically correct light bulbs, sun glow/rays from behind a building e.t.c).

That's the same exact implementation that I did for Nuke, which was also implemented for Fusion by DeadClown.

It works really rather well in practice.

Here too i've tested it many time ( old builds before and new ones ) and it's so slow + fireflies and noisy with simple scenes, i like the nice tools in it but they really should improve their speed and noise level.

Yep I agree,  I've asked for the 19 lights tonemapper before, fingers crossed for this one.

Can't wait for CRF curves and some decent glare / Bloom effects too.

Not sure if it's a good idea but I'll just paste my requests here:

-make it possible to switch between each parameter using the TAB key

-be able to spin the spinners beyond your monitor's resolution like in other max's spinners

-make it use commas instead of dots ( , instead of . )
Title: Re: All Color mapping/postproduction feature requests
Post by: Ludvik Koutny on 2014-05-31, 17:18:39
-make it use commas instead of dots ( , instead of . )

This would fix it for you, but break for many others. In US for example, they got dot on numpad, not comma. So it should not use one or other, but what's set in windows regional settings.

While it's possible to assign shortcut to edit render region command, i can't find a way to choose area to render selection, without opening standart vfb. So, it's still highly desirable to have such funcionality in Corona's vfb.

Once you assign shortcut to region render, you should be able to adjust render region in viewport. That's how it works.

About the render region control in viewport, it is of course usable yet imho its still way easier to control it inside the vfb - matching pass count, selecting those parts which needs some re render due to a different hd cache after prevous region render etc. not to say viewport region controls are completely useless when it comes to spherical/panorama renders ...

I will ask the exact same thing Keymaster! Color mapping in Vray is always an issue for me.. so haveing this one would be much better!
And also, very important, gloom and glare in the vfb in realtime like in maxwell ( and Fryrender, it was awesome, was working perfectly and so realistic! now it's Arion but I don't know I did not tryed it so.. ) so you can load map and adjust parameter while it's rendering and you see the effect taking place.. really a must :)  Corona gonna be a one of a kind with all these cool features :))


Also , Support for ICC Color Profiles.

What about to add Highlight compression, white balance and contrast (in relevance order) in CameraMod? Changing exposure often need highlight compression adjustment, and so on for the rest.

Btw, testing last daily build (2014-10-14) I found that if you use photographic exposure, exposure value in vfb has no effect (correct), but ISO value has effect and does not change iso value in cameraMod modifier (uncorrect)

Hello Guys,

First Post.

Congrats and hats of to the corona development team! You have a very easy to use Render engine which lets artists be artists. 

I did not want to open a new thread to request a DIRT MAP feature and a Vray style Blend Material.  The standard Corona material is great but it does not allow for the creation of a more complex and therefore realistic Shaders. I am working on a scene right now and I need a detailed layered metal shaders with multiple scratch, specular rust and dirt layers but there is no way I can achieve this with the standard Corona Material. 

in the mean time is there anyway to convert veray blend shaders to a corona shader, I am guessing not since the equivalent shader does not exist in corona.

Actually i installed VFB+ demo couple weeks ago, but i didn't like it as much as i expected. Thing is, if i want to use it with Corona, i loose all the goodies Corona's VFB has and i don't like it. Now, if there'd be a way to marry those two, that'll be an ultimate tool.

Hi all,

I've created a script for corona in mind which toggles the area to render (region render) without the need to open up the render dialog etc. It has pass limit, resume render etc. If you would like any features added please let me know.

Script:
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/regionrender (http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/regionrender)

Screenshot:
(http://s27.postimg.org/pui38qfrn/Region_Render_v1_0_by_3dwannab_UI.jpg)

EDIT:
The script code for region render is:
Code: [Select]
setRenderType #region
EditRenderRegion.EditRegion()

The script code for switching back to view mode is:
Code: [Select]
setRenderType #view
EditRenderRegion.UpdateRegion()

My script has this functionality plus a few added extras.

Well, I'm rendering with corona and when finished open VFB+
That's my poor way to have both world :)

But I already had strange effect with VFB+, like saving all passes in a click, and ending with beauty of my current render but passes from previous render -_-
Very useless for post.

This said fireflies suppressor, sharpener or bloom, aren't much of rocket science and are pretty handy straight from VFB.

I would hardly reproduce it as the demo is over since a while (and I missed your post for awhile sorry about that), basically I tried to save all pass in a EXR (or psd?) and the if beauty was correct (the thumb too), other passes (materialID, Zdepth,etc) were from previous render (in history). I was pretty surprised as looking at the thumb it seemed correct and I closed 3dsmax to launch photoshop... before being somewhat disapointed (was testing purpose anyway nothing prod related)

Your bloom is super nice, although sliders are very very very sensitive in general !
That autodesk didn't bought your vfb is somehow proving that it's a good one ;D

Render Mask for Reflective and Refractive objects...

I know there is an option to turn off/on visibilty in mask for Objects - but since then there is no option yet (correct me if i'm wrong) to get an mask from those objects without rendering a second pass with "visibility turned on".

Either i wish a render mask options like V-rays affect channels "all channel" for masking options
or at least have an option in Cmasking_Mask to select objects who override the "visibility turned off" choice in material.

So i'm at least able to render out all masks including those of refracting materials within one render-session.

- Curve editor. Linear curve editor is nice, and would suffice, but parametric (highlights/lights/shadows/blacks) would be another level, because of ease of use.

- Framebuffer LUT support. Great feature that extends the usability of framebuffer to any kind of post-production feature. It's not just for instagram effects from imitating old polaroid films. But even that is cool ;- )
( alternatively, people with color managed environments would benefit from ICC profile too, but this is secondary )

- White balance compensation. Not just Kelvin, but selecting a spot in image to counter-balance. Just like in real-camera. Both temperature and Tint.

- Better contrast function, similar to CameraRaw. Ideally the same one. Posted a separate thread.

- Glare and Bloom is being worked on, so, that's checked off :- )

- Make the GUI detachable. Unless you work in 21:9 monitor, which 99perc. of users do not, it takes endless space and occupies rendered image. If it's switched off and back on, the framebuffer needs to be full-screened for docking, so this is not very flexibly working.

-Simple button to disable all post-production. On/Off. Absolute must to see the changes, save linearly and not destroy already fine-tuned settings.

For me the most needed features (beside already implemented ones) are LUTs - but implemented in such fashion, that user can select whole folder - and then easily switch between them (scroll), see the look, and choose the right one, because choosing one and then browsing t another is just a pain + intensity multiplier.
Another feature would be white balance color picker - this is a killer feature, adjusting separately temperature and tint is just very slow - this would be actually temperature + tint in one adjustable color. PLUS this is totally handy in hand with LUTs as one can adjust color balance to compensate LUTs own lets say too brutal color shift.
Regarding curves, I think a lot better than than direct control are sliders, like having shadows/highlights/blacks/whites (aka CameraRaw) + gamma (overall boost) with curve preview would be ideal from my point of view.

Ability to adjust the DOF in VFB with picking in the vfb lick octane or fstorm
Title: Re: All Color mapping/postproduction feature requests
Post by: JakubCech on 2017-10-27, 11:18:11
Still missing Color Tint picker (aka VFB+ style) - Is there anybody using Tint at all? This is a beautiful feature but in current implementatio (blindly trying to get it right) is just useless (or not?). I am just saying there are many scenes (or HDRIs) that has a strong color cast that need to be fixed.
Or at least, it would be great to have Green-Magenta slider (aka Lightroom Tint) inside Tint Color Selector. It would cover 99% of cases - as in reality Lightrooms Tint + Temperature does.
Also DOF picker would be great.
Can I get some update on these topics please? :))

I'd like the tonemapping controls not to effect whatever image I have loaded in as a backplate.

What about local adjustments directly in VFB? Pretty much like in Adobe Camera Raw. To me, if Corona VFB had all the controls Adobe Camera Raw has, I'd never had to go to Photoshop for 3d work.

Requests: pretty much most of the things that Dubcat has been covering in his thread re tonemapping.

For me I'd like to see reworked tonemapping from the ground up (proper filmic controls). Essentially I'd like DSLR like VFB results, especially with regard to burnouts/black crush and sometimes odd colour saturation. I've mentioned this before but if we could somehow port whatever FStorm is doing with their tonemapping to Corona I would never use FStorm again (well, apart from it's sweet geopattern feature and the way it cleans up DOF).

For me the most needed features (beside already implemented ones) are LUTs - but implemented in such fashion, that user can select whole folder - and then easily switch between them (scroll), see the look, and choose the right one, because choosing one and then browsing t another is just a pain

I don't quite get it. This is exactly how it currently works :) And intensity would be "Opacity". You just have to set the mouse focus to the LUT line (not the arrow), then scroll with mouse wheel.


Good Luck

Maybe it wasn't how it works, back then in mid 2016?

Hi,

We would like to create a before render script that loads in the chosen predefined setup to the post process config of VFB. In this way we would be able to apply LUT, Tone mapping, bloom etc in one round per camera in batch render. I know that all of these can be handled in render settings but ideally it would be nice to just load in our existing setups by script.
I would like to kindly request a direct access to the post process config via Maxscript.
Thanks in advance,
Attila

I searched for this, but haven't seen anyone mention it.

The VFB histogram doesn't respond to LightMix changes. Is there a limitation, or is it by design? It'd come in handy to have a real time feedback after adjusting the lights, if it's even possible/feasible

Pretty sure all of the post process settings are accessible via maxscript already as the post process settings are also available within render setup.

You can enter

Code: [Select]
show renderers.current

into the listener to see all available functions.

This spits out a list of every endpoint in maxscript for the corona settings
