Corona Renderer 4 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

[Frood]

Nope, it's done by raycasting and uses the intersection point. That's exactly why I would change the text :)


Good Luck

[romullus]

Didn't know that. But that means it acts differently than "set focus to node" in Corona camera, right?

[Frood]

Yes. It acts like the Autofocus script which also uses ray intersection.

Objects with refractive materials and inverted normals, renders completely black in V4. Checking "use legacy medium resolving", solves the issue. Is this correct behaviour?

yes, this is the cost we pay for better results in other situations. Still it could do something better than completely black.. But are you generally ok with flipping the normals?

[romullus]

I like to think of myself as a tidy modeller, so keeping correct normals is a norm for me. If there's no other negative sides to this solution, then i'm perfectly fine with that. Besides, there's legacy switch for situations where flipping normals is not an option.

In case you are wondering where is the next daily build: we are having some trouble with the CoronaBitmap on network drive fix. The new solution is still giving us some trouble and we do not want to release daily build where this feature is broken. We have lots of other stuff running in parallel, so when next daily is out, it will be a big one.

Would you update the roadmap on trello site, so we can see the progress so far.

[Ondra]

ok, updated, but the progress is mostly on stuff outside of roadmap (smaller features/bugfixes)

Thanks Ondra. This is priority no. 1 from our side too so we appreciate you taking the time you need to get it working 100%.

Thanks, no problem.

CoronaSelect map/material sounds intriguing. Can't wait to see what it looks like! :]

Fixed crash when using CoronaFractal in interactive rendering

----------------------------

CoronaFractal? Did I miss something?

[Frood]

Create -> Corona -> CFractal. - almost as old as Corona. :)


Good Luck

[bishbashross]

Haha. Thanks!
