very comfortable workspace:)))

A user like you has his own custom toolbar for fast access of most important things anyway, haven't you? This would be the apropriate location for some additional "render hidden on/off" button.

Putting everything into cVFB is not the best idea especially when redundancy would be created. Next request would be to put displacement on/off there and so on. Corona is really well integrated into max and uses the standard location(s) of the UI wherever possible. So it would be max (again) to blame if you struggle with your workspace.


Good Luck



Never underestimate the power of a well placed level one spell.

I have a question for a feature:
These days my biggest problem is 3DSMAX autosave when I use DR. Could Ondra & guys code a function so that
if I have DR running > Autosave could not be enabled automatically.
I assume this is not possible but just wanted to ask about this...

Just adding to this forum as well. Being able to convert from octane would be awesome and go a long way towards pushing more people to use corona!

Is this thread a good place to not just put my vote, but also ask politely about "Refraction/Reflection working with masking render elements (CMasking_Mask,CTexmap, etc...)"? :D

I don't understand how it gets so few votes. Aren't many people here doing archviz? Is it that people are moving further and further away from doing anything after they press the renderbutton?
I want to quickly photoshop stuff that into windows of buildings many times. And often there might be the glass of a balcony infront of the glass on the doors and windows. I know I could make two materials and have the front one not contribute to the mask. But what if I also want that one as a separate mask?
In the attached image (multimatteelement from vray) I have an inside of an atrium in an office building. And I needed masks for both the glas on balconies, and a mask for the facade/outside.

I just wanted to add this as an extra little "pretty please" because I think more spectacular features get more votes, when this might be easier to implement and definitely really usefull :)

Autobump is an automatic combination of displacement and bump mapping. The goal is to have almost the same quality as fine-grained displacement with much lower memory penalty.

Thank you, Ondra.
From my point of view, it's really important to get Corona as flexible as Vray, post-production wise. For example, users of PSDManager are a bit limited for now (no scene layers output, anything bound to GBuffer ...), so we heavily need an alternative.

Best regards.

Just a few simple suggestion:
- Albedo warning could be an option in the VFB. I think no one wants to save it as a render element, people only want to know if a material is wrong.
- Corona Object Properties (diffuseion level, brightness, contrast, gamma, saturation). Just imagine a when you import and convert for example a bookshelf with dozen of colorful and white texture maps, how simple it would tu decrease the saturation and diffusion level of the books with one click, instead of going through the material one by one.

These aren't bad at all :- ) I like your thinking ! All those hundreds of books with wrong shaders : / and all of them multimaterials, I don't even know which book I click on :- D But this is something for maxscript I think.

But the first idea could be implemented easily.

Albedo warning will be definitely a live safer. +1!
