[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Render Resolution per Camera

« on: 2023-10-30, 10:40:02 »

since Vray has implemented this to its cameras, this could be very helpful in Corona too, as well as a Proportion Guides
Hope this could be implemented soon

+1 to add these features in corona too!

[Max] Bug Reporting / DR + Viewport lock issue

« on: 2023-10-30, 10:22:33 »

Hi, I've encountered the Corona DR's bug using Viewport lock.
Basically while on the master machine all works good, on the slave the render keeps crashing right at the start.

After days of trying end errors today I've finnaly found out the solution in a topic of this forum.
But I'm still wondering what's causing this issue, if it's a 3ds max or Corona thing and if there's a way to solve it once for all.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Bug with DOF Highlights solver

« on: 2023-10-14, 19:29:09 »

Hi everyone!
I found an issue with the new solver that I wanted to report.

When I try to render with a camera which has DOF on, and there's a Global volume material enabled, the Highlights Solver cause a crash when rendering.

I attach the scene in question below.

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Lightlister

« on: 2021-12-22, 13:45:48 »

+1 for LightLister improvements such as unification of instantiated lights and addition of Light Material.

I much prefer the Lister because unlike the LightMix it gives the possibility to move the lights around and change their shape. So in my opinion it definitely deserves an improvement!
Besides the Gtools Lightlister, another very useful tool to look at is the Dabarti Light Assistant

General CG Discussion / Visuali Scripts for 3ds Max

« on: 2021-11-23, 09:10:10 »

Hi everyone!
Today I'd like to introduce you to the 3ds Max scripts I've made. Hope they will be useful to some of you!
And if you'll buy them from Friday 26 to Monday 29 they will be 30% off using the promo code: BLACK2021.
Check them out in the Gumroad shop at: www.gumroad.com/visualiarchviz

• AutoPivot
  It includes two 3ds Max scripts that move the object's pivot to its center and lowest point.
  Unlike the standard 3ds command that uses the Selection Bracket, AutoPivot calculates the center of mass and moves the pivot accordingly.
  
  
  
  
• AutoFloor UVs
  It is a 3ds Max script created to easily map surfaces made up of juxtaposed elements, such as tiles or parquet.
  It offers a planar mapping that eliminates visible repetitions.
  
  
  
  
• AutoMZP Maker
  It is a 3ds Max script made for creatives who want to focus on their scripts without wasting time building self-installing packages.
  Offers a tool to create a complete .mzp package or just to encrypt the .ms file.
  
  
  
  

Regards,
Alessandro

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Re: Override material preserve opacity maps

« on: 2021-11-10, 17:53:54 »

Here +1 too

I'm dealing with a complex building with perforated sheets of different sizes, and the client wants both standard and override renderings.
Unfortunately in Corona 7 this feature is still missing.

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Resolution per Camera in Corona Camera Tab

« on: 2021-08-04, 17:23:32 »

If you need I know there's a handy script called "Camera Resolution Mod" but having these parameters nativetly in the CoronaCam would be more useful than ever!

[Max] I need help! / Re: Diffuse Render Element without shading

« on: 2021-08-04, 11:22:02 »

Thanks Maru! It will be very useful.
As Buckley said, I thought it would be just flat colors without reflections in it. But from now on I'll use the technique you just show.
Anyway I'll also open a feature request to ask for a Render Element that gives a flat result because this technique is a long process if compared to what I used to do with VRayDiffuseFilter and I think other users would benefit too.
Thanks again!

[Max] I need help! / Re: Diffuse Render Element without shading

« on: 2021-08-03, 10:23:07 »

I use it to enhance the contrast of textures (eg to pop out the veins of woods or cracks in the concrete). In Photoshop, first by desaturate it, then increasing the contrast of the pass and changing the blending mode to softlight or overlay.
But because there's some shading in the pass by doing so I also introduce the shades.
I guess you will be tired of hearing comparisons, sorry, but just to understand what I would need, back in the days I used to use this technique with the VRayDiffuseFilter without problems.

I've attached an image of my CShading_SourceColor (diffuse). The shading is more visible in the round geometrys with no textures where I wound suppose to see full color without shades.

[Max] I need help! / Diffuse Render Element without shading

« on: 2021-07-30, 11:17:02 »

Hi, I'm looking for a render element that shows only the flat diffuse channel of all materials, but I can't find it.
Now I'm using the element "CShading_SourceColor" set to Diffuse but it has some shading in it, it's not flat, and this thing messes my postproduction.
Does anyone knows how to get it?  Thanks.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: Bloom/Glare on 360 Cubemap issue

« on: 2021-05-14, 11:15:53 »

I'm using 3ds max 2020 with Corona 6 and the render get launched by Layama script, but the issue keeps occurring also by launching it manually.
I'll get a try with Corona 7 as soon as I complete current jobs and I'll let you know if it solves the problem

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Bloom/Glare on 360 Cubemap issue

« on: 2021-05-13, 14:38:17 »

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange behavior on Bloom/Glare effect when using 360 Cubemap projection, that is: when there's a Disk, Rectangle or IES light with visible directly turned ON above che camera I get this strange distortion of the FX (as you can see in the image attached).
The workaround that I'm using right now it's simply to not place cameras above the lights, or turn OFF the light's Visible directly parameter and place a geometry with Light Material right behind it.

Is it a normal behavior or it's some kind of bug? It's happening also to someone else?
