Is there an option in Corona for low priority ? Or is it by default ? Will the pause button someday be integrated ?

It is on by default (option is in debug tab), but it still sucks due to 3dsmax fault. Setting entire 3dsmax process to low priority helps sometimes. Pause button will not be integrated (at least not the 3dsmax pause button), because the API support for pausing is UTTERLY RETARDED and counts on any renderer being singlethreaded. You can cancel the render and then resume it later with the corona feature though.

Wow that last render is INSANE! Would you mind answering a few quick questions?

1. What colour temperature are the interior lights? You've really nailed the colour balance of the scene.
2. Did you still desaturate the HDR image for this shot?
3. Mind sharing your water material? I've been completely hopeless so far with water in Corona.
Vray who?

Really :- ) ? Is this feature already there ? It's really nothing important, but it's handy occasional :- )

Hi Agent,

1: The interior lights are 4500K :- ) The white balance is set at neutral 6500K. It is almost always there, unless very specific need.
2: For exterior, no I didn't, I wanted the very slight blue cast it had. I might if I wanted to go for overcast scenario, but this one I called "fake dusk" as it is, just underexposed :- ).
3: The water material...isn't even material. It's ridicously basic, just had no time to even give it properly painted bump map.

It's IOR 1.333, super weak bump/noise set on Fractal, FULL refractivness and reflectivness (RGB 255/255/255), solid refractive mode. I think it is just plane, not cube, but I think it wouldn't play any role in this angle anyway. Not sure from head


I live near Milan, but Friday and Saturday I have to be in Switzerland with clients... Sunday I take a rest a day.


Few months ago I planned to take stop at Milan too, and even spend 2-3 days at Lago di Garda mountain biking :- ) We loved Italy so much last year that we planned this as full vacation originally. But now we leave to US and had too much work, so we literally rush for those 2 days and leave on Sunday morning.. :- (

yes, in daily builds, buttons in main render settings

Lol nice. I thought setting lower priority could affect Max's stability, but since you guys run it this way, that's good to know :- ) Not like I need the performance for BF anyway, WoW is very old.

process scheduling was written by microsoft, not autodesk, so it is stable ;)

Its "headtodesk" not autodeks . I have never seen so buggy software like 3ds Max is.

Try "composite", you will be surprised :)
Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

Cheers for the reply man - I might have to start adopting your approach of leaving the white balance at 6500k and adjusting the other light sources instead given the quality of your work!

Hi Juraj,

for the additional light (light bulb), did you use corona light or emission in material?

I am pretty sure it was emission because of time reasons, but I regretted it I think. I think it would be good option to have GI check on!off next to emission slot so it's just visual like in Vray. But I am not sure if this is already too fake/problematic to implement.

Thank you for the response.
Yes, I also sometimes think which is better, using emission or straight corona light object :)

Chances are I'm not fully understanding what you're after but regarding a visual bright look without GI couldn't you use Corona Constant MTL? it has both a texture slot and a multiplier.
