[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / VFB history + comparison

« on: 2012-10-26, 21:32:32 »

Useful feature: duplicate vfb window with current render to compare with next one. Or you could make a fancy little button to select some region and display previous render inside it.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Scaling lights

« on: 2012-10-24, 11:12:34 »

I know this is pretty obvious, but look what happens when you scale a spherical light:
Scaling rectangular lights is ok.

Few of my previous posts disappeared (including autosave function in feature requests and this one, not fair!) so I re-upload my render.

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Photographic exposure controls?

« on: 2012-10-20, 22:12:14 »

Any chance for photographic exposure controls (shutter time, f, ISO, etc) or at least Corona camera object with such settings? It's good for setting up proper light intensity for example when not using procedural sky environment just plain colour with tuned output amount or objects like lamps. Of course this would be connected with real world light units and stuff like lens distortion and glare.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / low res bitmaps in render

« on: 2012-10-19, 21:21:29 »

Here is an example of what I've just experienced. One screen is from max's viewport, one from Corona's VFB, texture is a 1024x1024 JPEG, it's not very high res, but something's wrong as it looks much better in viewport than in final render.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Some minor stuff I've noticed

« on: 2012-10-19, 12:08:28 »

I've found some tiny bugs (?) that don't much affect workflow but are pretty annoying. Windows7, max2012

When I set Corona as active renderer sometimes the default settings are ok but sometimes some of the values are different - for example "Custom mat. ed" is not checked, max sample intensity is set to 0 instead of 10, in HD cache Precomp step is set to 1 instead of default 10. Anyone else noticed same stuff happening?

Also, in material editor when I am editting a CoronaMtl material pressing TAB key switches cursor to crazy locations instead of next value. Is this intentional?
