Amazing work! Proves that Corona can be used for RPG cinematics. ;)



Hah, I thought the same inside head :- D Waited if it turns into something Blizzard/Blur likes.

For animations I try to get the best balance of AA, pt and light samples. That means balancing the pt and lt multipliers is an essential part of my settings. The default is fine most of the time but if things get ugly (like the cathedral with those little windows) you need to be aware that direct lighting can be a way bigger problem than GI. In my Scene I have the multipliers at 40 for pt and 18 for light (this is NOT a new default for everyone to use blindly!).
The important thing to remember here is that the noise always has it's origin somewhere, be it direct lighting or GI or AA and that can be easily seen in the respective Render elements (directlighting and DiffuseGI).
Concerning AA: if lt and pt look fine you can try to optimize AA - that means less pt and lt per pass. Instead of 40 / 18 I try 20 / 9, which means double AA in the same time.

Another important thing: Don't mess with MSI. 20 is really a good default and you should only set it higher if there's a clear reason for it. I actually try setting it lower if I can - but 20 is pretty good already.

Thank you for the pointers regarding animation settings! :)

Thanks again for all the comments! :)

The glare on the organ pipes? Can that be done in Corona or is it post?
It's postwork. It's made with several layered glows :)
But if you were using Vray before you can use Vrays post effects with corona (..if you really want to)


Damn, I was expecting the fragmentation! :D
I stopped working with Thinking particles years ago so I don't really believe it will happen but.. who knows ;)
Did you somehow render the faked fog independently?
It's rendered independently (and I recommend to do that!). If you render it with the beauty it will take a lot more time and make everything way more complicated. It's rendered in a separate file with black geometry, disabled GI and optimized settings.
What did the light samples multiplier change? There doesn't seem to be much visible direct light...
The direct light includes the whole skylight from outside, not just the sun, so it's very important for the scene (see the attached image).

I'd really appreciate to see more game/animation stuff done with Corona ;) Unfortunately 95% of the gallery stuff is Archviz only

I really appreciate all of your comments guys! Thanks for commenting :)

very cool happened, and how to make the fog?
It's a very nasty trick ;)

There's not really much more to it than what is already said in the Topic linked above ;) It's just a plane with motion blur and some white material + translucency for backlight. If you don't need it immediately I would recommend to wait for Keymasters implementation of participating media, because - as i said above - it's a very nasty trick and that's why I don't want to do a tutorial about it.

Can you show us your lighting set up? and also some Raw renders? I would like to see how you got from RAW to post. Thank you, great work.

Lightsetup ended up being pretty simple (although I experimented several months with it). It's just a CoronaSun and an Hdri (attachment).
I also attached a full size raw render :)

Ha, interesting, the Raw looks so real :- ) Maybe different post strategy could ensue dramatic look without compromising the realism which was slightly lost in the original post (even though it then looked like awesome cinematic). Can't really tell what, just what came to my mind.
