[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Corona Renderer 4 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

« on: 2019-06-07, 14:30:40 »

My issue is that the button always needs to be pressed in order to be able to change the region, or add a new one. but if it's not pressed the region turns into a brownish color which is really hard to see

Yes, please revert at least to the full red color! There is no indicator any more that regions are active because that 1px micro dashed brown line is not visible at all in many images. The idea was probably to have region borders less distracting, but unless we don't have any other indicator this only leads to user errors.


Good Luck

+1 - it's almost impossible to see most of the time... it has caused me some re-render headaches in the past couple of months.

Make sure your vertices are welded in the mesh/poly. This should solve the issue

Has anyone tried this plugin yet? Seems very clever to me...

Wow, this looks amazing. Would love to know how well this works

General CG Discussion / SiNi software alternatives

« on: 2019-06-06, 10:43:23 »

Hi All,

So last year I subscribed to SiNi softwares all access package. It's nice but in the following months I've found myself using only 2 functions regularly: Camera Lock/Unlock and the Pivot tool (which lets you one-click-move the pivot to any of the top/middle/bottom corners and centers.

Rather than pay the large fee each year for these now necessary tools, does anyone know of any replacement plug-ins I could use for these 1 click functions?

Any tips appreciated. Thanks!

Porting and API / Re: Corona for Rhinoceros :)?

« on: 2019-06-01, 19:20:21 »

Yup, me too.

I'd LOVE to see Corona for Rhino, but my fear is that it'll end up in a similar unfortunate situation to Vray for Rhino. That is; powerful software, almost exactly same features as in the 3DSmax version, but with almost no community... ie; no models to download and use, not many discussions, not many plug-ins, limited support etc (although, admittedly, with the plug-ins, Grasshopper is a pretty good one-stop-shop.)

These issues are the precise reason why I moved from a Rhino+Vray only workflow to Rhino-3DSmax-Corona workflow.

Very, very nice!

In the first image I see a plane contrail - is this done in Post? or with an HDRI? Just wondering as you said Corona Sun + Sky only.

Hi Njen,

How about if I want to toggle between Path Tracing and UHD Cache in the render settings? Think this is possible?

Thanks in advance for any tips! :D

It's been done a few times in built architecture. To great effect too.

Again, beautiful renders. Super stunning!

« on: 2019-05-07, 10:29:36 »

I'm just wondering; with these improvements do we somehow now have a solution to the constant issue of seepage (ie; grass scatters crossing past the limits of the geometry onto a path)?

Have you seen pictures in the first post? I think you should find answer to your question there ;]

Well, to be fair... for all I know that could be individual blades of grass scattered (in which case the problem is non-existent)

Thanks mate. The script works an absolute treat! (Can't get Pulze to recognise it though, sadly)

Thanks again

As described in the title: uvw randomizer doesnt seem to work with noise map. Is this known? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
