[Max] Resolved Bugs / corona 2 install not working

« on: 2018-06-27, 16:21:27 »

the installer was messing up for me.
First it would not install and have an error that would flash off.
Then it looked like it did install.
Opened up max and notice I was still on the old release.
Re downloaded
Re installed and it deleted Corona from 3ds max.  Also got some errrors about not being able to write the C:/******

[Max] General Discussion / Corona rendering contest

« on: 2016-03-17, 19:26:11 »

I wondered if Corona, would ever considering sponsoring its own rendering and lighting contest.  Either with user models or a given scene.

I thought about posting an unofficial challenge even. Or even a weekly challenge thing. Would anyone be up for this.

[Max] Tutorials & Guides / Glossy Falloff Curve Experiment

« on: 2015-05-02, 03:33:26 »

Hey guys,
I was intrigued after reading this article on http://viscorbel.com/ about how reflections sharpen at glancing angles even on very rough items.
You can see more real world images here http://filmicgames.com/archives/557
I had noticed this effect recently but that I might look into it at one point.

workflow:
1) Find out what the Glossy value you would like to start with for the material  (ex is  .3)
2) add a falloff curve to your Glossiness and set to parallel falloff with a curve similiar to the example on viscorbel site.
3) Convert the Glossy value to Grey scale value ( Glossy .3--> Grayscale 76.5)
4) change ior  to 999.999
5) Render, the front will be what you expect but glancing angles will now start to sharpen out.

specifically check out the change on the flat surface I was very intrigued to see how this would change the look of the reflection.


Thanks to siger's gang for turning me onto this and the complex ior shader. which you can see here, that I used in this example.
