[Max] I need help! / Different result with CoronaBitmap vs 3ds Max bitmap as displacement map

« on: 2024-01-08, 11:18:54 »

Hi!
I used the Corona Converter to convert standard 3ds Max Bitmaps to CoronaBitmaps in a CoronaPhysical material and noticed that I got a different looking result on the displacement afterwards. See the attached image. The displacement map is a 16 bit tif image, the Min level/Max level values in the material are: -3.0 cm and 3 cm and I use default settings in both the 3ds Max bitmap and CoronaBitmap.

Does anyone know what could be the reason for this difference?

[Max] General Discussion / Any benefits of cloning Corona proxies as instances?

« on: 2022-01-07, 11:23:15 »

Hi! When cloning regular objects in Max, there are benefits of creating instances rather than normal copies, concerning file size, scene load/save times etc. But what about Corona proxies, are there any performance benefits of cloning these as instances? Normal copies of Corona proxies will still reference just one .cgeo-file, so perhaps they are just as efficient as instances in this case?
