[Max] I need help! / VRayObjectID/aliased masks in Corona?

« on: 2018-03-08, 14:36:12 »

Hey guys,

I'd need to get masks that are aliased from Corona.
Used to Vray and since we switched I'd need to get the same thing out of corona but not sure how to.
Basically the most important is to get aliased mask out of Corona based on object IDs.
Even better would be to get a pass that has all the objects IDs with individual colors corresponding to IDs (always the same so it works on any project) exactly the same as what the VRayObjectID does.
If that's not possible and we need to go with multiple passes with RGB masks, I'll have to bite the bullet, but at least I need to get my masks aliased and not anti-aliased.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best
Stan

[Max] I need help! / Using DR, cpu is not 100%

« on: 2014-09-05, 17:49:48 »

Hi guys, I'm using DR for a large still frame here I've some trouble maxing out the cpu on the farm.
For some reasons, when using DR, neither the master nor the nodes are using the cpu at 100%.
For the 8 core nodes it's about 80% of the cpus, but for the new dual xeon nodes with 40 cores, it's about 50% only.
It's quite some rendering power losses...

I tried to put the interval at 120sec instead of 60 and double the amount of pixel to transfer at once, but it doesn't help.

One thing is sure, it can't be network related.
We are rendering all day long through Vray with 50 nodes.
We've got high grades 10Gbps switches, the server with 20Gpbs throughput and all the nodes connected at 1Gbps without any bottleneck.

Any hints?

Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Get rid of fireflies and smooth out glossy reflection

« on: 2014-07-18, 01:36:10 »

Hi guys,

Hope you are all doing well.

I've got a little personal animation project I'm working on here and I can't get rid of fireflies and getting glossy reflection smooth.
Just out of interest, I'm posting the same render done in VRay where I don't have this issue.

Corona :


Vray :


As you can notice, The whole image is noiseless and only my ground plane is getting fireflies.
This is way more obvious with the images in full ress, not sure why the forum scales down the previews.
Is there any way to fix this? My render sits there for a hour already but beside the ground plane, the render would have been done in 20 minutes, tops.

For those who want to know, as a comparison, VRay 3's image took 2h to render, and it contains way more noise, everywhere, beside on the ground plane ;-)
Any hints ?

Cheers

Work in Progress/Tests / WIP - Hazarda

« on: 2013-11-29, 01:27:47 »

Hi there,

After few months/years of following this render project, I thought I would give it a go, and from my first feedback, it's nice to play with it.
So here is a small scene I've set together to try this out.
I haven't really thought about color and mood, I just slapped this together in 2h to get something out.




I would be keen to continue this and take this to the next level, but I miss the distributed rendering to make it even more easy to work with.

Cheers,

Stan
