[Scatter] Feature Requests / ChaosScatter previz and edit instances

« on: 2024-11-13, 14:25:08 »

Hi guys

One thing i noticed when editing instances in ChaosScatter is the viewport previz type switches to box.

I generally work with point cloud. Is it possible to keep the previz mode as point cloud whilst editing instances?

Cheers

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Denoise in VFB not enabling

« on: 2024-09-25, 15:32:08 »

Has anyone noticed denoise not turning on in VFB?

Iv enabled denoise in render settings but in VFB its always turned off? With older corona versions denoise in VFB would automatically enable when turning it on in render settings.

You can enable denoise after render or during render time if you rendering locally but its an issue if you sending it to the render farm. Denoise wont kick in unless the box is check in VFB even if denoise is enabled in render settings.

« on: 2024-08-19, 19:04:48 »

Im not sure if theres a work around or if this is just a limitation with Volume effects.

Theres a blue halo inside the volume grid box if volume effect in corona sky is enabled. I know iv gone agreesive with the volume effect scale but is there a way to remove the blue halo without reducing the scale? See screenshots, 1st image with volume effect, 2nd image without volume efflect.

Gallery / American Muscle

« on: 2024-01-10, 20:55:12 »

Hey Corona Render Community,

I hope this post finds you all in great health and high spirits. I'd like to share a sneak peek of my latest works featuring a black American muscle vehicle. I've poured a lot of passion and effort into this project and looking forward to your thoughts.

The centerpiece of this project is a sleek, powerful black American muscle vehicle that I've meticulously rendered using Corona. I aimed to capture not just the raw power of the machine but also the timeless elegance that defines American muscle cars.

I've worked on creating a simple environment that complements the vehicle, enhancing the overall visual impact of the images.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Denoising not working with VFB history

« on: 2023-08-09, 13:26:14 »

I havent tested C11 so this is probably more c10 related,
Fast preview denoise during render and store current vfb history dont work together. Currenty VFB is storing history without denoise.

Hi everyone!

Here's another personal project I have been working on. You would expect a car in this environment to look dirty but I wanted to treat a fancy car like this with respect. Managing my time with my little twins has made this project even more challenging so I'm happy to finally share this with you all.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona AO Issue

« on: 2019-11-22, 12:12:48 »

Hello,

Im not sure if this is a bug in Corona 5 but the AO map seems to be acting strange compared to Corona 4.

By default, the OA is picking up wireframe edges. Setting the Ray Directionaly to 1 seems to fix this but then the max distance seems incorrect in relation to the object scale. I hope this makes sense.

[Max] I need help! / Need help scripting

« on: 2019-06-24, 11:05:12 »

Hi all

To explain this quickly, what I need is a script that isolates an object, at the same time, the HDRI needs to switch to a different HDRI and the VFB tone settings need to reset. These settings need to revert back when turning isolate off.
Let me know if I'm not making myself clear

The general idea is to isolate an object and run interactive using an HDRI that's good for testing materials. What I would usually do is switch my 3ds max settings to single map in corona scene environment settings. The issue with this is you will need to change your VFB tone settings to compensate each HDRI. Therefore you need to save and load Postprocess .conf files when switching your HDRI which is time-consuming!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
