General CG Discussion / Re: Render at lower resolution & then upscale using AI

« on: Yesterday at 10:11:57 »

So something like Topaz or other simple upscaling solutions are not great in this particular case. And more often than not controlling the amount of extra detail created is more powerful than simple upscaling.

AFAIK newer Topaz versions also have generative upscaling capabilities. You can always download trial version and see if it works for you or not.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Crash of 3ds Max - Corona 12 Update 1 vs other versions of Corona

« on: Yesterday at 10:08:18 »

This is known issue with  Corona 12 U1, but... compatibility with older versions is never guaranteed, so technically it's not a bug and you should not expect that this will be addressed at any time. As it was said many times before - always make backup copies when switching your project between different software versions.

This looks like bump/normal, or displacement map. You can try to disable those maps and see if distortions are gone. After you establish cause of the issue, you can work on steps of eliminating it.

Not sure if i understand what you're trying to achieve, but i you only need 2 rows, then you only have to add 1 row separator. I think this sequence does what you need:

Code: [Select]

0 .5 2 4 2 1 | -1 1 1 2 4 2

[Max] I need help! / Re: Problems with installation of Corona 6

« on: 2025-01-12, 20:55:33 »

Can i ask why are you trying to install such old version? Corona 6 were released in August 2020, that's more than 6 months before 3ds Max 2022 release. Most likely that's the reason of your issue. I'd suggest to head down to Chaos Corona download page and  download and install the latest release, which works with 3ds Max 2016-2025. https://www.chaos.com/corona/download

Try to reset xforms of distributed objects. Also make sure that there's no significant amount of translation randomization in Z axis in scatter's transformation rollout.

I have no luck doing it in Corona AO - or maybe I'm missing something?

I think you're really missing something, because that kind of effect is super easy to do with Corona AO. Here's few posts from the past where i show how to do dirt streaks.

I don't think you're breaking any rules, but... what's the purpose of your topic? If you have working script and you think it can be useful to others, then publish it on gumroad and make a new post in user contribution board. People who need it will buy it if price is fair.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Materials don't show up in render

« on: 2024-12-22, 20:00:59 »

At this point i think it would be best if you could attach some pictures to illustrate the issue. Show us the rendering and screenshots from viewport, as well as render setup and material settings. It might be that your render is overexposed to the level where no texture is visible only blown out contours of the objects, it might be something else, but it would take too long to guess it from verbal description alone.
