[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Memory usage breakdown improvements
« on: 2024-01-26, 17:32:41 »
I have already asked for improvements in this excel File, its no easy to find, it only shows when memory problems are starting to show, have you looked at the one vray have?? ITS awesome, times and memory allocation for each object, readability!! right now its a bad readme file that shows a bit of info.
Someone will say that archviz dont need this, maybe small archviz wont, BUT we are trying to get bigger clients, projects and be better at what we do and can deliver.

If you have 20 cameras or lights you cant change a value in all of them at once.
Can we have that functionality please ?

What we dont like is the features they push, like Corona Power toys... Did i miss that "Feature" from the upcoming ones in trello ? or the Most wanted feature board?
What about the "Rewriting scene parsing" that has been pushed 4 years.. You want to compete with Unreal or real time engines? Make Magic for us, cut those times so the user can see faster what they are working.
Edge map was also a rabbit from a hat to all of us, TOON shader has been asked for YEARS, so i guess its complicated to do, please BITE the bullet and do it, if it can take 4 years to do it we would have it already..

We do use it, Corona is NOT good managing the ram, we have 128gb in all systems and we Need to use it on various scenes in order to render, but the pulze plugin can interfere with the paths.

+1000 for this approach, One other thing that im missing is a BUMP Material just like Vray Bump material (NOT shader) in order to be able to better blend objects with its surroundings.
I remember that someone seem to have already asked in this thread, but I can’t find if the request was logged
https://quixel.com/blog/2020/1/22/blending-megascans-assets-in-ue4?utm_campaign=Tutorials&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=Goddess%20Temple%20in%20UE4:%20Lighting%20%26%20Blending
It would be very nice to get a blend-shader, I’m now doing more and more exteriors and fitting individual assets into the environment can be very time-consuming.
Now, we can do this by using CoronaDistance, but if you want to do so - you need to create a Layered mtl each time for each object, that you want to organically fit into the environment. If a more complex material is applied to the ground, which already contains Layered mtls, the shader tree turns into a mess. Plus we can't get proper normal blending, CoronaRoundEdges Map doesn't work well in this case.
It would be convenient if, right in the “advanced options” section, each material had a checkbox that would enable mixing with environmental materials, without the need to change the material tree and add objects manually to CoronaDistance.
- this section could have a numeric distance/radius parameter;
- a map slot similar to the "Distance scale" slot in the Corona Distance map (there we could insert a height map from an object that we embed in the environment or some noise map);
- a checkbox for mixing normals, which will either use a separate radius or take it from the main distance parameter.
- texture coordinates can be projected directly from the parent (ground) object.
P.S. This will undoubtedly complicate the structure of CoronaPhysicalMtl, especially for the newcomers.
And in general I am not a supporter of the approach of a universal all-in-one shader for all use cases. So I would prefer to have an additional map (or a reworked corona distance map with the second "mode") that would contain all these parameters and would connect to a special map slot in corona physical mtl, if necessary.

Hi, im needing a tree near a facade but dont want its shadows, but im getting the bad shading bug in the facade where the shadows would be..
What can i do in these case ?
(The tree object has the cast shadows off)

« on: 2023-10-19, 18:56:31 »
We had this a while back, try to search for TOO far geometry and delete it, if the alpha channel still shows the geometry this is the way to fix it.

[Max] General Discussion / Re: TX image format?
« on: 2023-09-28, 00:57:02 »
I would really love to push more for memory optimizations for Corona
I made a little experiment with Tx textures
I have some HUGE map textures that we are using to map some mountains on a video, it was made from 9 different textures, each 35K px!
The difference between corona bitmap and TX was in favor of Tx textures by 20gb of Ram... Pretty mind blowing...
This is an edge case i know.. but we all can benefit from lower memory consumption !
