[Max] General Discussion / MaxScript - Corona Pro Plus Mega Slice v3! Extreme

« on: 2014-04-28, 09:13:10 »

Hello!

Im Mike, you all might know me as "that annoing guy, who sticks his nose where he is not really waned"

Anyway, I decided that I will create my own scrpits/modificators for max. Yet I have a small simple problem, thing is that Im not a programmer, I just know that I have too many too good ideas to let them go to waste.

My questions:
1. Where to start? I literaly have no idea where to look for resources
2. Is there a "Max Script for Dummies"?
3. Can anyone help me with that?

Regards
Mike

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Camera Clipping - Angle Mod~

« on: 2014-04-03, 12:28:21 »

In A5 we had CameraClipping MOD, that was a great idea and I like it.

I know that this is not solly connected to your render engine.

But it would be a nice feature to bring that back, with an extra controll button the "clipping angle" sometimes its a pain to fit the camera even with clipping, as far as I know theres no such feature in Vray or others, you could be the first to make that.

Also rewriting standard Camera to Corona Camera + corona features would be nice. (i understand this is not a key feature but still it would be nice.)

Hi

Does Corona have any IRC or other online chat option? I think that it could be nice to be able to talk about our experiences on go.

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Render - Area Focus

« on: 2014-03-10, 15:23:58 »

Hello

Is it possible to add something like "Focus Render Power on the selected area" In real time?

Sometimes when my render is almost done I still have areas with noise, its not that big problem to save the image and rerender the area's. But I would be glad if there would be some options to set the focus at lets say Pass 120~ Focus on (here you select areas). I dont really know if that is possible but It seems to be that its quite convinient.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / HD - Cache (Save / Load)

« on: 2014-03-06, 09:06:08 »

PT + HDc

I get a crash after I mistakenly clicked "load sec. GI" to emplty folder, when tryed to check how the save load works.

Each time I click render, it reports the proper error, but instead of canceling the render it freezes the program, what leads to crash.

[Max] General Discussion / Full Licence

« on: 2014-02-11, 09:46:40 »

Hello
Im amazed with Corona render, it suits my needs and Im planing to talk to my boss about this beautiful time saver.
I fully understand that release date of full product is still unknown, but I would like to ask a fiew questions.

1, What is the predicted price of corona? Im asking about speculations or draft price.
2. Will it be lifetime licence? Or you prefer montly subscription paiment?
3. Is it legal to use dailybuilds at work? Or I should remove it?

I was wondering if theres a way, a guy like me can help in developing corona? I already reccomend it to people, but Im willing to put some more effort in this project, as for me changing to corona from Vray, was a similar fealing as moving from Standard to Vray.

Well, I was working on some fireplaces
Corona is just amazing. Literaly 0 postpro.

Setup? HDRI in envi, proper materials and BOOM corona.
I just love this render engine, I made 1600x1600 renders, each took me 6 min~

While with "same" scene I would have to w8 for worse results about 25 min using Vray.
The only thing that corona is missing is "Pattern" for me so far, but its in all ways great.

[Max] General Discussion / Refraction - Map

« on: 2014-01-24, 10:34:22 »

Hello
I was wondering this for quite some time, sometimes I render objects that are behind glass or other refractive objects that need some post or tweeking.
I always have problems with masking out this type of objects.

One of my "solutions" in Vray is to rerender the scene in black with only the glass and the object materials unchanged (sometimes I just change it to white light and disable glass reflections)

Its possible to do exacly the same thing in Corona, but I dont like that method. Does anyone have better way to do this?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / SAT / STEP - Corona

« on: 2014-01-22, 14:52:25 »

Hello
Im not sure if this was posted before.

Objects from CAD that are imported in to max as "Body Object" that have the smoothing feature build in dont work properly.
Corona reads them as the lowest quality from "corase" You need to change those objects in to Edit Poly / Mest to make them work properly.

I udes SAT and STEP formats.

[Max] I need help! / Galvanized - Material

« on: 2014-01-22, 12:05:25 »

Hello

I would like you guys to help me a bit with creation of galvanized material map type.
http://static.hardwarestore.com/media/product/146191_front500.jpg

My Vray version seems to be unsuitable for this task even after conversion and fiew hand tweeks.
Did any of you go around making materials like that? How do you aproach it?

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Corona - Some Suggestion's

« on: 2014-01-14, 09:56:12 »

Hello

1. I have stumbled upon a nother "problem" its not that big deal, but I was wondering if there is a feature similar to "Render Mask" used for Vray.
After a long render, I waned to change one of my objects a bit, yet It required moving back to Vray for that one feature. Is there any chance you will make something similar?

2. Im often in need of rendering just a region on an object, marking the rgion in standard FB works fine, but it would be handy to have it in Corona FB.

3. I like that Vray Framebuffer creates separate spot/window on your windows toolbar, its handy. cFB is often hard to locate when there are fiew indows open.

4. Canceling the rander, does not save the image its logic. But sometimes when I have a lot of passes in the background and I decide to save the image, it does take quite some time to do that with each pass. Can you add a "Save All Passes to location" or even go further "Save all to PSD"? That would be a killer feature.

5. CoronaHair&FurMTL.


Hope any of my suggestions will help, have a nice day.

Corona is the #1

#Edit

2b. I forgot to add this, but sometimes I tend to be in position when I like the exaclt angle of my shot, yet I want to render only part of it in full rezolution cuting some of the things I dont like. "Full nativeresolution Region Render" with the proportions set via Common settings would be a nice perk. Its a "bonus" idea not something that would change the world, but I have seen many people try to do it on their own.

Gallery / My First Vizualization

« on: 2014-01-09, 14:11:36 »

My first but not last vizualization.
Almost no postpro, I find that Corona is super efficient. Full image is 3508x2480, I was suprized how was it went.
Im suprized tho, because Im not sure how to get a realy nice soft reflections with gloss.

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Corona Pattern

« on: 2014-01-02, 15:03:48 »

Hello

Lately I was working on render for a company tht makes air vents and grids.
In my jurney I had to do closeups of some elements like grids it self. Modeling that would be too much of a waste, and using Displacement is not an option.

My problem was solved thanks to VrayPattern plugin, the problem it creates for me is that It does not support corona.
I think that default option of plugin, alike would be a great thing. So far I found that method extreamly helpful, but it forced me to stick to Vray, instead of continuing my jurney with Corona.
