[Max] I need help! / Re: Ideal settings for Animated Film Title Sequence

« on: 2014-08-14, 11:10:11 »

I'm a commercial animation art director. I'm loving what you guys are doing with Corona render. I'm in the early stages of producing a 30 second cg film title for a short film series and am considering using Corona Render V7 instead of Vray for 3dsmax. It seems pretty intuitive, easy to use, and fast but am concerned about the ideal settings for flicker free animation with good render times. My project sequence takes place in the dark interior of a vintage jukebox with moving mechanical parts and colored film noir style lighting. If I can get some great idiot proof settings and suggestions, I think I may use Corona instead of Vray.

Thanks in advance for any and all help,

Lawrence.

I think you might actually be ready to go with the default settings :) - Haven't done any animation yet with Corona, but I always get the best "stills" with the defaults.

[Max] General Discussion / Re: Corona Alpha4 Benchmark scene

« on: 2014-08-14, 11:04:49 »

I'll run it tomorrow on dual XEON E5-2680v2 ...

Edit:
Corona Renderer Alpha 4 benchmark scene
 Living room 100 passes
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz
Time: 0:3:24, Rays/s: 6,218,608

Strange. It seems that difference to the old single i7-2600K
is quite poor (in comparison to other render engines).

Do not worry, you can double those results since the standalone version of the test uses only single cpu to calculate the scene :) - That's why the difference is so small :)

EDIT: Btw Keymaster, are there any plans for remaking the standalone benchmark for A7? Or maybe support for more then one processor?

something that would be useful would be to make it easy to zoom in and out (and reset zoom) while logged in remotely.

If it can be done somehow without making the UI look ugly then a plus and minus button somewhere would be really handy as would a way of returning to 100%, like double click on the render.

+1 :)

V-Ray here, but I have rendered my last project with Corona and got honestly impressed (arch-viz) - Think it might be a keeper :D

Thank you once again for valuable information Juraj :) I appreciate it! Will definitely give it a shot tonight. And by the way, your renders are great as well!

Thank you for your reply Juraj. I had no need to write to the author himself, since he used V-Ray. I know how to get that "temperature" effect in V-Ray balancing the V-Ray camera settings and the HDR image (I got PG's collection).

Just wondered if someone wanted to share some bits about getting the similar effect using Corona :) since I haven't tried to remake it myself - yet.

« on: 2014-07-07, 09:48:53 »

I think bloom is over too much. Try less bloom...or try masking it out...and put it at least in areas around direct light where is most commonly "seen". Otherwise you can end up with "blurry "bloom rather than "warm-nice" bloom.

Hope that can help you out!

Yeah, it came out a bit too blurry. Anyway, it was the first render that I made in Corona (late and quick to try it) but definitely not the last one! Thank you for your comments and suggestions, I appreciate it! :)
