PS - this apparently works in C4D already, but not in Max :)

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Chaos Corona 13 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion
« on: 2025-06-18, 13:49:37 »I can quote Alex's really good suggestion of running internally downresed input so the user can have the primary image be native high-res and AI enhancement up-resed.
I still miss the internal AA down-resing from Corona Alpha :- )
Oh the internal AA down resing, that was before my time - is it at all similar to what is shown in this recent video?

« on: 2025-06-18, 13:47:08 »Or just focus on the ideas with the most votes?
I know that the ai effort is Chaos-wide, but there are many other things on the list and these features are very much replaceable with other existing and better products out there.
I don't mean to tell you how to do your product. This is just my two cents.
Just a note on this that no-one on the Corona team spends any dev time at all on the AI itself. All we do is the UI and hooks to get an image sent up to Chaos Cloud (well, and created a very easy new render element, which is basically just three other render elements combined). So you are seeing a feature that is as close to "free" as it gets in terms of development time, so much so that not adding it wouldn't make any sense :)

That's the kind of thing that is planned for the extended controls later this year. Meantime, it's always worth adding things to the AI Ideas Portal at https://chaosai.ideas.aha.io/ where you could share your examples as the motivation on why such a feature would be useful (or vote and add a comment if such a request is already on there). Thanks!

Has to be EXR as it has to have the extra data contained in the render element.

Ah ok, so this is about starting Live Link separately to set things up, then moving on to hit the render animation. That is not currently supported, though we have had this noted to us before so it's on our radar. Thanks for the additional explanation!

BTW we didn't set the resolution limitations, those were already there in the AI Enhancer :) And we (V-Ray included) raised the fact that for our users, higher resolutions as input and output would be required. So it is on the cards to have this improved. Tests were done on using a 4K input, downscaling to 2K, running the enhancement, then reupscaling to 4K, and in fact the enhancement results are better in this instance than starting with a 2K input. So we will see some sort of change to this over time, probably incrementally.

Just a reminder that 2K is the max input resolution, which results in a 4K final image that you would deliver to your client. This will be reviewed as time goes on, but I did do a check on Behance, the Gallery here, etc. and most images were 4K or under so it seemed like a reasonable starting point :)

Hmm last I checked this was the same as V-Ray, can you let us know what is different there? https://docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Render+Animation+with+Chaos+Vantage

PPPPPS, lol - looks like the idea is already on the Vantage Ideas Portal, so you can cast your vote here https://chaosvantage.ideas.aha.io/ideas/VANTAGE-I-139

I just checked in with the other teams to confirm Vantage can't currently upload renders to Collaboration. My suggestion in that case is to post the idea on the Vantage Ideas Portal, at https://chaosvantage.ideas.aha.io/ , pointing out the use case you have in mind which is to generate 360 panos for use in Virtual Tours. Thanks!

Sorry to hear you are having problems. For all crashes, please send in a ticket via https://support.chaos.com/requests/new and provide as much info as you can, including Max version, OS version, and most importantly, the minidump (see https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4649117083409-How-to-report-issues-3ds-Max ), and preferably the scene that causes the crash. Even hardware info like CPU make and model, and RAM amount, can be useful.

AFAIK you can't upload from Vantage directly to Chaos Cloud. But with Chaos Cloud you can upload any images, just do it manually - go into the Cloud in your browser, and upload images from any source at all. This does mean you'd have to set up hotspots for a Virtual Tour manually though as you won't be able to take advantage of the Automatic Hotspots.
EDIT - Chaos Cloud is actually a combination of things, with Cloud Rendering just being one (small, tbh) part. The other parts are Cloud Collaboration, Virtual Tours (which could be seen as part of Collaboration really), the AI Image Enhancer, and soon something more too.

Not sure on what you mean by the latest :) Chaos Cloud does indeed offer Virtual Tours, with Automatic Hotspot Generation, making it a nice (and free) way to give 360 pano tours (or VR tours) to your clients, and for them to give those to their intended audience. The Virtual Tours there have additional features such as Tags (like hotspots, but they open up information rather than move you to a new viewpoint). I really like the Virtual Tours and wish they'd been around wayyyyy back when I was freelancing!
Then there's the usual Collaboration, letting you share images with your clients, where they and you can then have "conversations" back and forth by highlighting parts of the image.
The AI Image Enhancer is also technical part of Chaos Cloud too, so that's new. The controls for that, over on the Cloud side, will be getting an upgrade soon to give more flexibility in what you can do with it. And there are more things coming soon, in a beta stage at least, keep an eye out for those :)
Hope that answers your question!

You are welcome, and in exchange thanks for such thorough testing with an aim toward real world usage! I can see the benefit of what you suggest regarding Ambient and Diffuse, and yes please if you could, do send that in via the Ideas Portal. I can't think of a current magic trick to get around it off the top of my head :(
