[Max] I need help! / Can we have Alpha4 CPU benchmark scene for 3dsmax?

« on: 2014-02-16, 04:14:03 »

I for the life of me cannot figure out how I can render the benchmark in 3:29sec almost noise free, but for my own interior scenes it doesn't come out half as nice with more time.  I dissected the export.conf file to try to replicate the settings, but pretty much same, same.  If we can have the scene for 3dsmax that will help us all learn more on how to optimize a scene compared to guessing.

Crap, at first I thought those where min, then realized hours, Wow!  They do look great though.

Lol, smart ass.  I don't know how I missed that, I did search, maybe I miss spelled it in the search. Thanks though.

Can people using Xeons please specify that you are using 2x cpus, not just one.  It's confusing for some that think that you are getting better times than there i7s.

I tried the interactive rendering and all I get is a blank black frame buffer, then every time I try to close the Frame buffer it crashes max. Am I the only one?

okay, what happened to IR though in Corona, seems it use to be in there.  And I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be put back in.

Can you Please, Please, put in an auto focus feature for DOF?

I've been test Corona and Vray 2.4, I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing wrong in corona, but I can't really get even close to the speed of vray.  I am setting it up for biased rendering, because unbiased is still to long per frame.  I am testing an exterior scene. I set corona to progressive and path tracing & HD Cache, Because I can't find IR.  I set Vray to IR & Light Cache.  I set corona to  3min and receive quite a noisey image.  I let vray go and I get a really high quality image in about a minute.  Is corona fast only compared to vray brute force?

I see thank you, didn't think it was working didn't know it needed such a love value to looks correct.  thanks for your help.

« on: 2014-02-08, 00:18:32 »

I am very new to corona, have been very impressed so far, but I have the most basic question, how do you render without getting a super bright burnt out image.  by default my renders are coming out super bright, I cannot find any camera exposure control, and there are post in the rendering dialogs but even with them it is hard to get the image down in brightness and get it to also look correct.  Is there any sample scenes that we can download for 3dsmax to dissect? the benchmark scene would be great to be able to dissect.

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Please be the first Render engine to support Xeon Phi

« on: 2014-02-08, 00:11:19 »

I really think this is the one feature that no other renderer has and would make corona the fastest by far renderer.  I'm not a programmer but the code shouldn't be that hard to implement because the Xeon Phi is x86. please make this happen!
