[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Adaptive enviro sampler playground!

Hello romullus,
--- CORONA SKY (v5.0) ---
I used the old v5.0 Sky & Sun, since I wanted to compare v5 and v6.
I did a lot of test this morning with v6.0 and:
(*) PT and UHD give me the same exact result (except for the noise, obviously).
(*) 4K is very different (as lighting) from PT and UHD Cache.
(*) 4K produces strange noise under the balcony.
(*) 4K is very slow!
--- HDRI VERSION ---
I also tried CoronaSky + CoronaSun vs HDRI.
Here you see the HDRI version:
(*) PT and UHD give me the same exact result (except for the noise, obviously).
(*) 4K is very different (as lighting) from PT and UHD Cache.
(*) 4K doesn't produce any strange noise and the fireflies are much less (good).
(*) 4K is very slow!
So, I think that something is wrong in the 4K Cache + CoronaSky/Sun

Hello,
here my new test with DB 18 June, with 5 minutes rendering time (i7 970 six cores)
I know that 4K Cache is under optimization =) but, why not to test it?
So, we can compared the improvements.
---------------------
(*) CoronaSun + CoronaSky (v5.0)
(*) CoronaMtl light gray
---------------------
(*) v5.0 + Portal has the best quality (less noise and no fireflies).
(*) v6.0 + UHD has some fireflies. NL is a bit higher.
(*) v6.0 + 4K has absurd Precomp time (x25 times = 2 seconds vs 50 seconds).
(*) v6.0 + 4K has very strange noise under the balcony.
(*) v6.0 + 4K has some fireflies as with UHD Cache.
(*) v6.0 + 4K has the higher noise level.

4K in DB 18 June is not well optimized.
LINK
(*) 4K Cache Precomp time can be easily 25X time compared to UHD Cache in complex lighting situation (huge room, small window, CoronaSky+CoronaSun).
(*) Also, 4K is impossible to use in IR mode ( 8 FPS with UHD Cache vs 0.7 FPS).
(*) More noisy compared to v5.0 with Portals.

Absolutely no!
Thin laptops + rendering = very bad idea!
You will be in thermal protection in a second... (Apple docet)
If you want a serious rendering laptop = Clevo
https://www.santech.eu/home
Italian company. Here you can build your favorite laptop.
But, this is not the best moment to buy a laptop.
If you can wait, I suggest you to buy the new AMD Ryzen 4000 serie

[Max] Bug Reporting / v6.0 BUG - CFractal in Full Previz X10 times slower.
« on: 2020-06-27, 01:02:09 »
Hello,
as in the title, CoronaFractal in Full Previz X10/15 times slower in v6.0
(*) Create an empty scene
(*) Create a default CFractal
(*) Change Previz from Sphere only to Full
(*) Change Resolution mult: -2
With v6.0 it's impossible to move the viewport (0.6 FPS).
With v5.0 I have 10FPS (it depends on the zoom level)
GPU = 1060
Thank you

[Max] I need help! / v6.0 - 3 June - CoronaSun v6.0 error message
« on: 2020-06-09, 02:46:12 »
Ok,
I deleted the old CoronaSky map (v2.0?) and created a new CoronaSky map.
It seems to work now... :/
Maybe this info somehow can help up =)

Hi ,
I have a 3ds Max repeatable

[Max] Resolved Bugs / v6.0 - 3 June - No incorrect Normal "Corona Error Message(s)"
« on: 2020-06-08, 20:01:19 »
Hello,
I have a scene with a CoronaNormalMap incorrectly setup.
When I click RENDER using Corona v5.0, I received the well know "Corona Error Message(s)":
"A normal map appears to be using blah.. blah..."
This message doesn't appear anymore when I render with v6.0.
Can I ask you why? It's too useful IMO.
Thank you!

Hello,
3ds Max freeze when, using the CoronaSky Manual parameter, I try to select a Second CoronaSun if this sun is disabled (i.e. Corona Sun ON parameter = unchecked).
