Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Turns out they make these little huts / tents from a young age in Scandinavia. A tech artist from Quixel actually snapped a picture of one while out for a walk - I had no idea they were so common.

[Max] I need help! / Emulating Cinematography: Neg Frames

« on: 2021-12-17, 08:13:57 »

To simulate a neg frame (black card), typically used in photography / cinematic lighting, should the shader applied to the neg frame plane be IOR 1.5? What should the gloss level be, 0.25, or more?

I think Corona Renderer has said in the past that they would open to implementing ACES / OCIO once it became possible in 3ds Max; it's certainly been on the roadmap(?)

Or there is an over-bright light source that is being tuned down in LightMix. Something going on with the shelf, too...

Looks very good, well done +1

@piotrus3333 do you have LUTs for these, I'd like to test them out(?)

Tough, they both look good - obviously the blue tone shadow stands out in the 'ACES_test_F' version, and the props look better in 'ACES_test_F', but the strong blue tone on the white shader ball (upper left) is very noticeable.

@piotrus3333 are you sure that the VFB doesn't render .cube vs .3dl differently? It looks like there is some color burn, or something, using the .3dl in VFB LUT, compared to .cube(?) Testing mP_Reinhard2FstormDefaults_v1.3dl.

I've learned *A LOT* from Dubcat, so no offense, but I feel like my encounter with his Photographic LUTs early on while learning Corona Renderer, really led me astray. The 5D Mark 1 and 5DS LUTs produce a much more natural look, which is probably a better starting point when pursuing an un-edited photographic look.

Looking good! There is something strange in the wall bump/normal. It looks inverted or something? Or maybe my eyes fool me

@Fluss, you were right - the red channel was inverted in the Siger shader normal map configuration. I did some tests recently and submitted a support ticket with Siger who confirmed the issue. The issue is resolved in the v.3.3.5 update. I re-rendered and updated the image in post with the correct normal (bump) configuration. Cheers!
