Hey everyone,

This is my model of the starship Enterprise from Star Trek the Motion Picture. I built it in 3ds Max and rendered it with Corona 3 Hotfix 2. Creating the pearlescent materials for this was a challenge, but Corona made it really fun and enjoyable. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!

« on: 2019-06-30, 02:39:14 »

Hello. I'm working on a scene with a bright HDRI map, and it's making the Corona Light cast a shadow. Is there any way to disable this? I'm using 3ds Max 2019 and Corona 3 Hotfix 2. Thanks!

That was one of my favorite cartoons when I was growing up. It looks like it could be used for a CG remake. Nice work!

Some time ago I wrote article that is now online if you're in a reading mood :- ). It took me many bathtub meditations to put my thoughts together coherently (thinking&writing really does hurt) so I hope it was worth it.

""So goes a proverb: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and he will never ask "What HDRi/LUT did you use?" ever again."

Fantastic article! As a fine artist who is also an aspiring freelance Architectural Visualizer, I've always thought that inspiration could be drawn from other idioms. I find your more "playful" experimental approach refreshing, and I've always been inspired by your work. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I'm experimenting with Corona Fractal, namely the Mandelbox. Could someone explain the different parameters to me? Also is there any way to convert this into a high-poly mesh. Thanks!

It's good that you mentioned some requirements you want, but do tell us your budget limits ;)

Probably around $3K.

Hardware / Please Help Me Build a Workstation!

« on: 2017-11-09, 23:23:58 »

Hello, fellow Coronauts!

I'm looking to build a new workstation to replace my aging gaming computer that I am currently using. I'd like to stay away from Xeon processors due to cost, but I'd be up for Core i9 or Ryzen (depending on which is better). Since Corona is CPU based, I won't go too crazy with the GPU (probably a GeForce 1060). I'd like to start with 64GB of RAM and expand it to 128 at some point in the future. Also a PCIE SSD (at least for the boot drive) is a must. I figure I'd turn to this forum to hear what the experts have to say. Thanks!

Awesome work! Stars seem a little dim and a bit dense...

I'd think you wouldn't see the stars at all at that exposure level, but I love the overall atmosphere of this render. Is that a city on the upper right?
