[Max] Daily Builds / We need your feedback: renaming Corona Maps to CMaps
« on: Yesterday at 10:45:55 »
Hi all, in the newest daily builds we renamed "Corona Maps" to "CMaps" in the material editor:
- Old: CoronaAO, CoronaBitmap, CoronaSelect
- New: CAO, CBitmap, CSelect

The main reason for this was that in some cases, different nodes could appear with the same name in the material editor. For example: "CoronaM..." could be a Corona Multimap or a Corona Mapping Randomizer, which can be confusing:
Please let us know if you like this change and whether it affects your workflow in some way or not. If we decide to use this naming, then we should stay consistent and also rename materials:
- From: CoronaPhysicalMtl, CoronaLayeredMtl, CoronaSlicerMtl
- To: CPhysicalMtl, CLayeredMtl, CSlicerMtl
Note: this change is purely cosmetic - it does not affect things like maxscript!
