[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Toon + Outline Mtl Playground!
« on: 2025-05-29, 07:42:33 »
I think the ability to export the outline as a separate mask would be great. Will there be such a solution?

[Max] Feature Requests / DR Renderer without installing an instance of 3ds Max on the second PC
« on: 2024-06-20, 15:17:39 »
I would like to be able to use DR Renderer without having to install 3ds max on another PC. This is very inconvenient and archaic. Is it possible to do something about it?

The price would be acceptable if they added a GPU and Toon Shader. I keep watching the development of Corona and Cycles. Unfortunately, I choose Cycles more and more often. The speed of the GPU beats the speed of Corona.... Quality is not always as important as time.
They only make minor changes and change the version number.

[Max] General Discussion / Corona Solo/Premium and node
« on: 2023-08-04, 09:22:57 »
Hi, I need to buy a Corone for the next year. I'm wondering if Corona Solo or Corona Premium already includes one rendering node or do I need to buy it separately?
I am using two computers. On one I render and the other is just a node.
Please help ;)

When rendering with DR Node, I am overflowing the drDump
What can I do to make these files default to another location?

Yes. I'm asking about support for the latest Corona Renderer 9 and is there anything going on in that regard?

I ask about the latest Corona and about Chaos Corona support. Is anything happening on this topic?

Is there any information regarding the latest Corona in Blender? The topic is already several years old and this information is missing. I am referring to the real development of the plug-in for Blender.
The topic Which 3D soft to integrate into next? is closed, but the poll indicated that Blender was chosen by many users.

About the updates. Actually the enormous steps Coronarender takes from version to version is impressive. Chaos scatter, the Chaos libraries, Cosmos, the incredible way decalls works now, all the assets available from Maxtree and so many others, Clouds and more. And I hardly crash huge files.
Just is this the right way to go? If I wanted to use Chaos libraries, I would just pay for Vray. The rest are just interesting marketing things that no one will use in practice. You can live without them... The advantages of Corona are:
- intuitive interface
- it is very fast to get a nice render
- nice masks
- easy handling of nodes
- super window with post-processes
- price used to be an advantage. This is slowly being erased which is a big minus.
Minuses:
- no GPU rendering...
- nodes need 3ds max installation (this is a mega big minus). I don't know why this topic is not moved. Is there really no way around it? After all, it is a misunderstanding that I have to run around the office and install 3ds max trial on the other machines.
- no meaningful system to render object lines etc. something like lineart
Sometimes it seems to me that the people who design this soft do not use it themselves. They have a vision from the 90s , and now times have changed. My conclusion is that the potential of the best rendering engine on the market is slowly being squandered. Sorry Team Corona, but these are my conclusions after these few years.

I checked trello and I don't see, any spectacular changes in the release of Corona 10. It's more cosmetics and polishing of the product. It seems to me that Corona does not want to be competitive with Vray, because how else to justify the price increase when no really big changes have been added? Not much has changed since Corona 8.
You guys are doing a good job, but locking yourself to CPU only is a road to nowhere. TomG you keep writing about compromises, but we, as users, are ready for them. Currently, rendering times have gotten cosmically large. I'm already starting to use Cycles myself, because it scares me to render for a few days some animation.
In my opinion, instead of wasting time on, for example, a new benchmark or a faster material rendering preview, the focus should be on the GPU. There is no point in putting it off. Corona is about to reach such an absurdity that changing the desktop icon will mean a new release.

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Right-Click menu problem
« on: 2022-12-14, 10:10:05 »
When right-clicking, the "Open Corona Converter" and "Open Corona Proxy Exporter" menus are displayed instead of the standard "Right-Click" menu. Where can I change this?
I found solution - "reset default work space" :)

« on: 2022-10-18, 08:33:43 »
Another price increase. This is all going in the wrong direction. Render nodes to be bought separately, so that there is an impression that the price has not changed. It feels like Chaos Corona, not good old Corona....
