This PBR mat option - does it mean simply adding roughness, metalness slots to existing Corona material, or it's something more fundamental, like sheen, clearcoat and other goodies, that's often advocated by Juraj Talcik? I have one vote left and don't know where to cast it :]

Aren't there more possible features to choose from? I kind of feel that there were several interesting requests in "feature requests".

It is new material. It is not THAT fundamentally different from current Corona Mtl, you can think about it as changing the way controls are preserved and adding multiple tweaks at one time (roughness/glossiness switch, new diffuse BRDF, sheen, ...)

Hi. Since this is a Arch-Viz renderer, I would surgest to rename the "Toon-Shader" to "Skecth/Toon-Shader".

Since this is one of the most requested visual styles here at the office, I really can't understand why this seems so unimportant in this pole?

Regards

renamed. It is indeed not that often requested when we talk to people...

Thanks. This is what I found, not in a specific order.

1- (Internal ID=371611685) Preset buttons to conf files
2- (internal id=383770135) Stochastic texturing to avoid texture tiling
3- (internal id=386309989) Triplanar controls in CBitmap:
4- (internal note id=309739609) Atmosphere based on Z-Depth as post effect in VFB / Aerial Perspective Environment
5- Be able to control denoising in IR
6- Bump mapping like in Fstorm (microdetail) See video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg2Gluvpm48

Hey guys, really love the product and appreciate you being so open to input from the community.  This is one I've been waiting for several years for and would be tremendously helpful as I try to build my business (and keep Corona as the primary render engine). 

Refraction/Reflection working with masking render elements

Understand you get a million requests for all sorts of features and have to prioritize, but curious if this feature is one you envision integrating in the near future?  If not, is there any way to fake this using the current set of tools available?

Keep up the great work.

These images was done with Corona Alpha 5. You can see how corona worked with shader tones and colors. I like this style of rendering, what do you think?

No it is right topic, i talking about tone mapping features. Maybe it will help, if people will vote for the DSLR tone mapping as a feature. I don't know, why this type of tone was changed.

Unfortunately this scene was lost. Anyway, this results was get without any post processing (because we didn't have any settings for that in the Alpha 5 excepted Contrast and it was worked in different way against current), as i remember we had only 3 settings for RGB (i just made Green value 0,98).

Corona now working in different way with color for sure after Alpha 5 (Contrast, sky, etc)
