[Max] I need help! / Stone rood

« Last post by Drago991 on Today at 10:44:55 »

Hi guys,
I'm trying to recreate this type of roof, but with poor results...does anyone have any suggestions to create it procedurally(maybe even using some plugins/scripts)?
This is the type of roof created in the regions of northern Italy and is made thanks to the processing of particular stones.

Thanks for any tips

Looks like Bertrand had one of his 3D scenes done with Enviz (previously EnvisionVR). He has an article about the experience.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: CoronaMultiMap seed changes with animated camera

« Last post by Aram Avetisyan on Today at 08:57:31 »

Hi,

I have checked the scene and unfortunately this is expected given how the VRay proxy is animated.
The number of faces (and effectively their indices) changes, and so does the randomization.

I think the workaround is to have different IDs for the roofs and randomize by Material ID instead of Mesh Element.

Hope this helps.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Changing the direction of a Phoenix Ocean displacement map

« Last post by Tom on Today at 02:13:08 »

Thanks. Yes I tried, it doesn't work.
Finally I used a noise map that turned out to work nicely.
To my understanding noise maps are 3D procedural maps so they work in all directions, which is great, while the PhoenixFDOceanTex map seems to work only in the World Z Axis for some reason, which makes sense since water only deforms on a horizontal plane after all.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Creating transparent fabric material

« Last post by Aram Avetisyan on Yesterday at 22:18:56 »

Hi,

If you are trying to achieve a transLUCENT (transparent is see-through) fabric, which has a light shining from behind - the effect in the screenshots you shared - then it can be easily done just with self-illumination. You can add a bit of sheen just for sake of it.
You can as well enable the translucency and create a light behind it, but it will give more or less the same results but with longer render times.

Hope this helps.

Gallery / Re: Some of my best renders to date. Thoughts? Mixed-use development in Argentina

« Last post by Aram Avetisyan on Yesterday at 22:11:58 »

These are very fine renderings, great job!

It is just the bloom and glare and sharpening in the images (or compression) which I do not quite like, but this is just a personal preferance.
Composition, lighting wise you have done a solid job!

Hardware / Re: Threadripper issues

Have done a few tests..and by knocking out Corona Layered mat, the 64 core machines pull away and out perform the 3970x 32core machines. Interesting to say the least.

Huh, that is interesting finding.
