[Max] Feature Requests / Re: All Color mapping/postproduction feature requests

« on: 2017-05-04, 16:59:02 »

Hi there,

I see that a histogram is crossed out on the first page of this thread, but I can't find it.
Is there one?
It would be a nice feature to have.

I Use https://anydesk.com/remote-desktop as a much faster alternative of the teamviewer.

Thanks! Very nice.

Now, I think the question to be asked here is whether you really care about that? So, say you get 20fps in your viewport heavy scene (specially true for c4d) and now your new CPU is 15% slower in single threaded speed.

Effectively, you are probably leaving what, 2-5 fps on the table?

Thanks.
I'm not sure why you talk about fps though. I thought that was purely the video card.

In any case, I find that most operations in all software are single threaded, except for rendering. And those are the only times I need to wait. With corona IR, I can still see something without waiting much.
Once I want to render a full image, I just use a separate computer. 4hs or 6hs, I almost don't care.

I will go for a Ryzen too nevertheless. Everyone is talking wonders about it.
I was thinking on getting the 1700 as it comes with the cooler and when OCd gets close to the 1800x. Is this still the case or the 1800x was inproved? Do you know?

Thanks!

Awesome.
Thanks.

Do you feel at all in single threaded operations that you're a bit sluggish or not really?

@Serj-3DVision:

Hi Serj,

Any comments on you Ryzen build so far?

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Fire to look just like the texture map

« on: 2017-04-15, 19:53:23 »

Hi all,

I'm looking to have fire on my scene.
I'm using a photo with opacity on a plane.

It seems that, no matter what exposure I have, I can't make it look on the rendering the same way as the photo.
Basically I want to have the pixels coming from that map unchanged after rendered.

I'm using a CoronaLightMtl, which seems to clamp the colors making it planer (washed out).


Any suggestions?

Thanks!

General CG Discussion / Re: 3ds max 2017 - any problem?

I suggest you stay with 2016.
Max 2017, as everyone says, is buggy. In my case it was also slow.

Awesome work!

I was comparing your renderings in photoshop to compare rendering engines. I hope you don't mind.
I agree that the lighting is quite different between Vray and Corona. Both versions really fantastic in their own way.

But to me the biggest and only important difference is the glass (in my opinion of course).
It's almost as if it's not the same model, or one or the other have a rounding corners map or something like that. Also the glass in the Corona version looks double at some points. (these are actually questions).


Regarding the Octane version, how come it has so much noise? I never used it, so I'm just curious.

Thanks,
Guido.

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Load images into Corona VFB?

« on: 2017-03-24, 15:31:12 »

I really like the corona post tools. So I would like to load an image (EXR or not) into the VFB.
Any way to do this?

I've search on the forum but couldn't find anything.

Hardware / Re: BEST MONITOR FOR 3DMAX CORONA , PHOTOSHOP

Trying to calibrate my monitor (U2715H) without a device, I came across this website:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/ARTS/MONCAL/CALIBRATE.HTM

Do you guys notice a difference in grey 254 with pure white?
I don't...No matter what I tweak.

Does anyone know which one of these is the fastest single threaded wise?
That would be a good balance for a workstation, no?

However, if you aim for Rendering primarily, there is no reason to compromise on Multi-threaded performance, to gain single Threaded performance.

At least 3Ds Max is mostly single threaded when it comes to any regular commands.
Sometimes I'm waiting for a boolean operation to finish with only 10% of processing capacity working.
That's what I want to improve.

I bought a U2715h a week ago.
I'm just a bit disappointed.
The factory settings are ridiculous. Extremely, unusable, bright. But when turning the brightness down the darks get black.
You can fix this by changing the gamma through software, but the OSD should come with this already.

My second monitor is a $100 asus and never had a problem.
