[Max] I need help! / Corona Multimat on Trees wont show in viewport

« on: 2020-03-13, 12:46:48 »

Hi.

Question.
i have downloaded from Maxtree a free sample tree. It comes in corona for 3ds format. All ok here.
I open file, press interactive render - OK
Leaves are applied with mutltimat but wont be visible in viewport as if i enable them in material options. "Show shaded material in viewport"



Is there something i am missing?

no jacked.
people with good hardware specs can optimize cores count for render as well for interactive render, inside corona preferences parameters.
i can ask corona to use only 24 cores and still have 8 cores to keep working and modeling inside viewport.

its hard to wait for multiple images do complete job render.
its hard to have to saveas and import to other instance of 3ds. its easy to forget something that you have worked if you have a complex scene.

if some one have any solutions please post here.
cheers

Ok. Understand know.
Render in one 3ds max and have another instance open for keep working.

Thanks for all your time and all help.

Cheers. :-)

I think i was not clear enough.
What i want is just keep working on the same 3ds max file while Corona is rendering a final image "no interactive"

I have tried the Batch render from 3ds max but unfortunately it blocks 3ds max from being used to. Need to wait for all renders to complete to get inside 3ds max viewport again.
 I hope you could understand

Yap. That is it.
I have been using Rhinoceros and Vray for some time. In rhino we save cameras practicaly like in 3ds max. Then use vray to render final images. But Vray stay rendering while it is possible to keep working. Some how Vray knows that camera and keeps rendering with no troubles. And if you have a good cpu you can have a nice workflow since you can keep modeling and correct some things while the image is rendering.

The diference is Interactive Render vs Production Render.
IR is a render preview while you are working.
Production Render is for final renders. You choose a time/passes or noise for limit render. Here we can not move 3ds max viewport. It gets locked until Corona finishes the render image.

Can you please tell me were i can find the batch render to send multiple images for final rendering?

Sorry for misunderstood.
I need to stay on the same scene. I need to keep working on the same object while corona is rendering one camera image.
Example: I have a scene with 4 cameras. Need to render all of them. How can i do it? Do i need to do 1 by 1 or is there a solution for bake a lots of image cameras from a scene?

Do you know about any Corona Batch render?

Yes i have noticed that.

but is there a solution? Imagine if i need to render 10 images with 1:30 hour/min each. I have to stay stoped from 3ds max until those renders are finish?

Hello.
Here a beginner in 3DS and Corona, steel need to learn a lot, but... I found that when Corona is rendering its impossible to keep working in 3ds max. It blocks the viewports until render is finish.
Is there any work around? A batch render would be an option?

I have look inside Index topic help but didin`t find any posts there so i decide to ask for help in here.

Cheers

That shader was made in old corona versions.
That posts are from 2015.
Is there any options more actual? Corona 4 and 3ds Max 2018/19/20?

Cheers

Hi.
Is there a away to have a free corona shader ball to use inside 3DS max for materials testing?

Can any one share a sample or a link so i can sercha and download one for me?

Cheers

Hi.
Thanks for trying to help.
Yap... it is in fact from Denoiser.
I have made some tests on a new a clean 3DS instance and just a plane with a simple box without lights just Scene white color. PUFFFF it crashes again.
IT is possible to work in IR with denoiser always OFF. Does this solve? Or i need to invest on a current machine/ desktop?

Hi.
I am starting learning 3DS and Corona.
Every time i need to interactive render it crashes 3DS Max. (file is not so complex. 17,128KB large).
Its a simple space. 3 windows. 3 corona light rectangular behind the windows. One sofa and a small table. Its a sample for study lights.
How can i tune interactive render to use less computing resources and/or lower the resolution on interactive render?

I have a 7 years old laptop. I think its still a beast, but not so certain for 3DS and Corona
intel i7 2.5 - 3.4 Ghz
GTX 780M 4GB
16GB Ram DDR3
SSD 250GB

This machine still rocks modeling in Rhino and render Vray. / Autocad / Sketchup / Adobe photohop / illustrator / indesign, etc, etc..

What i need to do... 
Any help is appreciated.

[Scatter] I need help! / Re: Corona Scatter on imported Objects?

« on: 2019-08-12, 18:36:29 »

I think i have to learn the basics of 3DS and then come back to test Corona. I feel i am missing 3DS fundamentals.
I need to learn this. I think Corona have a much better workflow than Vray and 3DS is much more flexible to model details to our workflow here in our office. Exterior images were is need to build roads blended in topographic terrains. Or a fast and stable Render Engine.

Hi all.
Thanks for the quick reply.

1 Question...
Maru: it is as you say. After import objects they do not come in a single object but instead with many parts of that object. I need to attach them into a single one. (How to do it?)

2 Question. From Rhino i export all work in 3DS or OBJ. This 2 options wont work in scatter. Perhaps i have to change some parameters or export that surface in other extension. I have to keep trying.
The main reason for to ask this kind of questions are manly because here at office we do a lot of exterior birdeye image render. Unfortunately Rhino wont have a good native Scatter to spread grass or trees in a parametric way like Corona Scatter or Forest Pack.
We have Grasshopper but that software is a mind mathematical required to create parameters.

Thanks for all.. i have some time right now that i will test all your suggestions.
Cheers.
