[Max] General Discussion / Is this still the case? DMC

Couldn't help but reading an old post regarding Corona's optimization...

my 2 cent ;) ...
Imho comparing Vray and corona is a bit nonsense (yet). Both are using kind of different concepts to render the image. For me, Vrays DMC is way more useable in daily business than coronas current concept of (simply spoken) just shooting rays without any adaptivity. You can do really awesome things in Vray, especially in terms of speed/quality if you know how DMC works. Don't get me wrong, I love corona, but until there is some possibility to tell corona not-to-shoot-a-lot-of-rays-in-already-clean-areas I don't see a lot of sense in comparing the two. Sure Pathtracers always rock in terms of speed/realism, but there are a lot more things a good renderer should be able to do and at some point those pathtracers just are not the right way to go.
If you really want to compare Vray to Corona for interior you may want to try PT+HDCache for Corona and BF+Lightcache for Vray - which is at least kind of the same concept.

[Max] General Discussion / Feature Reduction - Less is more

« on: 2015-08-01, 14:14:27 »

I believe I am touching on the Corona philosophy... removing BLOAT.

Is there a way to reduce and remove the amount of features on Corona to make it even less like the other competitors? Especially all the ones that are never used by 95% of advanced users.

There should be a "Feature reduction poll" conducted sometime ie. can select perhaps up to 3.

For those who feel that Sketchup has no potential as a platform for professional work... here is a screenshot from the rendering process from David Santos of

There was no 3ds Max / Viz in this whole process...

Off-Topic / Autodesk the biggest bully

« on: 2015-05-15, 14:02:37 »

I just got wind that Autodesk engages third party software vendors to use tactics to like forcing memory hog program Revit down Architectural companies throats. How they do it is ruthless. They invite themselves into a company and demand for licenses. One of the practices I know let them check licenses because they were CONFIDENT that all licenses were in place. However this !@!@ vendor found an OLD VERSION OF 3D Viz on the computer, alongside the latest version of the license. This vendor then went back and sent a Lawyer's Letter that demanded a fine from Autodesk to the tune of EU25,000. This is just BULL@#$#. VERY UPSET to HEAR this.
