Corona cameras sometimes get Target Distance to 0, change that and it will work.

[Max] I need help! / Corona Out of core missing files with different machines and languajes

« on: 2023-06-29, 14:59:13 »

Corona Out of core is giving us some problems, every time we open a scene made on computer A the Computer B shows missing files and the corona warning that out of core cant find the files. We narrow the issue to different languages and Different users names inside folder structure.
Is there a better way to map that corona folder for it to work on different machines ?

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: SME Very Slow on Corona 10

« on: 2023-06-26, 05:02:54 »

Yeah... Vray moved all materials to QT, i asked and Corona just took another road which was the cache, but its no better than the QT road..

I am using Corona 9 with hotfixes. Has anyone tried 3ds max 2024 (SME has been rewritten i think) to see if it is any speedier?

While i'm happy with most of the changes in SME in Max 2024, i don't feel that much has been changed in regards of Corona. It still suffers from most of the issues it have in previous versions of 3ds max and itself. Parameter editor is still significantly slower compared to Max'es native renderers and it still gets progressively slower over time. Some UI elements still fails to update while IR is running. I've heard that most of those issues cannot be easily solved by Corona devs, unless they cut support for older 3ds Max versions. Maybe one day, when 3ds Max 2016-18 user base will fall down below certain threshold, we will have much improved Corona experience in SME.

So i ask another question, Will the corona "HQ" denoiser be improved ?
for us the quality in the corona one is not there, i need to go as low as 4% noise for it to work and not mess the image.
As for the intel one i can have fast previews at 10% without destroying the image.
We stopped using corona denoiser long ago for the sub par results even on final images and videos.

"Improved warning shown when DOF Highlights Solver and AI denoiser are enabled together."

Will the Intel denoiser be updated to support the new DOF ??
The new sampler didn't get the update.. like 2 years ago

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Mapping source for CBitmaps

+1

Anything to get us closer to fewer nodes.
Not sure why yet, but I feel that;
- Connecting one UV node on the left side of several bitmaps,
instead of
- Connecting several bitmaps into one UV(ish) node on the right side,
is more natural to do. And would probably look more tidy if used in more than one material

Plus it has the added benefit of probably making it easier for converters to other render engines, seeing as this is how it works in several of them already.
Since Corona isn't the best at all sides of Archviz, converting from and to is a must sometimes. (But I guess USD and Material X could help with this down the line)

How does it work for Drone photography? for example the Mavic 2 pro  (l1d-20c) has a "1" sensor " 13.2mm x 8.8mm and a focal length of  10.3mm according to  the web and the exif data
How can i calculate these ??
