[Max] General Discussion / Re: Are people starting to ditch Forest Pack for Chaos Scatter?

« on: Today at 15:17:24 »

I dont think so, chaos scatter lacks many tools, too bad developers don't listen carefully or development is very slow.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Interactive rendering not expanding when the vfb is resized

« on: 2025-07-04, 16:10:07 »

Hi,
thanks a lot for the video, that helps a lot. Unfortunately I still cannot reproduce it. I can see you have some high dpi wide monitor, is that right? Could you pls post here your monitor setup you have (how many, which one is primary, and their dpi)? That would help be really helpful - as it might be problematic only in your specific setup.
Best Regards
Jakub

Hi Jakub
My display resolution is 3840*1080, just one display on this one pc (this one is sitting at the office) Im remoting to it trough parsec.
Windows scaling is at 100%

You have a little render on your AI

Just a friendly comment about the images, tone down the AI output.

I did a post 4 years ago exposing the "corona high quality" denoiser  https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=32452.msg182932#msg182932
It just become my secret sauce for faster rendering, i did chat with the developers at that time and they SAY that they knew about this, corona denoiser being subpar with the intel One But meh it was never solved or looked in 4+ years.....
Feel free to render with 10% noise limit and intel denoise on 0.65
I render all our animations with these same settings, on animations i can go up to 12% noise...

I can't believe this is achievable since 2021! Geez.
I wonder what other secrets are hidden in this forum that would save us tons of hours and electricity.
Kind of hard to believe this wasn't used by the Corona team as default having GPU rendering winning in rendering speed. What a shame.

There is more, better performance for any render, and yes i made a post years ago asking for the change.

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Are you still using the old VFB?

« on: 2025-06-26, 15:54:06 »

We are still using old VFB
2.0 looks messy, The ui uses more space than before, icons are not very clear in what they do, the smiley face was useful,
There is a bug on the render elements tab where you cant use the mouse scroll wheel, you have to click on them to start using the scroll, then go any where else on the 2.0 vfb and it will work no more, one more click to start using it..
The bug where it will no longer resize the render when interactive is on and you change the window size.

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Corona 13 RC1 Vantage

« on: 2025-06-12, 15:21:58 »

I think vantage in general is a weird software in the industry, most of other programs release a much more complete package to the public, or it would be free or a low payment until its feature complete.
In my opinion vantage is NOT corona ready, but the price is 100%, so its like paying top dollar for a alpha test..
I know I'm gonna raise some eyebrows..

« on: 2025-05-23, 15:27:29 »

First thing to do is to setup corona to use the VFB 1.0...
It came a while ago, a lot of post were made about it, but has no changed or been improved with a lot of feedback.

General CG Discussion / New Ai analyzer for crash dumps * Please read for developers

« on: 2025-05-08, 16:21:11 »

I stumbled across this article and thought it would be interesting for the developers, an AI that can help to read and understand the crash dump files.
Hope it helps!

I have started a new idea on the AHA portal, if you want a faster first frame render, faster parsing performance please cast your vote !
