Hello Maru and Nicholas,

Sorry for my late reply but was away from the office and could not troubleshoot.
Well Nicholas your were correct the scale of the bitmap is correct in the frame buffer, thanks again.
Maru the scale is not only wrong in the viewport, but also in the corona correct text map.

Do both of you have any idea if there is a fix?

thanks again for you help.

[Max] I need help! / Physical material / corona color correct text map / real world scale

« on: 2023-05-11, 10:15:46 »

Hello everyone,

I hope you are well.
I am having an issue I can't get my head around.
I recently updated to 8.2 and using max 2018.

Somehow when i use and corona physical material from the library, (in this case Concrete Bare Cast Murral) it has a real world map of 6x6 meters.
Here is the thing:

When I apply this material to a 6x6 box it is not scaled properly: the box parameters of creating world map si checked, real world also and a uvw map modidier with real world is used.
So there you should be an issue I guess unless i  am missing something.
The scale of the bitmap is off!!

This material has a corona color correct text map in the base color slot ( the concrete bitmap is plugged into it). 
If i bypass this color correct textmap the scale is perfect.

On another note if I create a corona legacy material and plugin the color correct textmap the scale is fine.
Also if I convert the corona physical to a legacy material everything is fine.

Therefore I must think this is an issue with the corona physical material.

If any of you could help me it would be higly appreciated.

Thanks

Alex

Hello there,

love your night shots and was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.
Is the main lighting HDRI and for the fire is it a corona light material applied to geometry, I am asking because it seems to be casting some some shadows so could be something else i guess..
Lastly how many passes did set, I always find a lot of fireflies present in nite shots with the lightmix elements.

thanks again for your time

Hello there and thanks so much.
I am attaching 2 screen shots one with and without the cast shadows in object properties.
Do you think the color difference of the needles only due to the fact that they are not casting a shadow on themselves?

Thanks again

[Max] I need help! / object properties cast shadows

« on: 2021-06-20, 17:50:44 »

Hello everyone,

While unchecking the cast shadows of an object the object in object properties ( in this case tree leaves) while it stops casting shadows it also seems to drastically change color as if it becomes excluded from GI.
In my case the lighting source is an HDRI.
Am I missing something?
I tried a rayswitch material and it disabled the gi and shadows itself so no luck there.

If anyone as any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks

Hello there,

Thanks for your anwer and the details.
Your set up is great and quite perfect as is.
Quick question, in order for the mapping to work with the objects did you scale everything down.
In other words is the buiding 10 cm instead of being 10 meters. 

Thanks and have a great evening.

Hello there,

Love your scene and its look.
Any chance you could share an empty scene :) with the set up

Great work again, I also think it has real value vs. hyperrealistic.

Thanks
