[Max] Corona Goodies - User Contributions / CoronaIesPresets 1.0 (maxScript)

« on: 2015-04-16, 09:31:33 »

Hi everybody.

just want to share my latest script to all of you corona guys... the idea is from the "vray ies preset" so i build a similar script for corona.

Hope you find it useful.

Thanks for a great renderer - corona.

To install:
-just drag the script to your 3ds max window.. you can find the scripts in cui-category-ebbmaxscript
-you may add a shortcut,add to menu,quad, etc.
-tested on:  3ds Max/Design 2014, corona v1.0

v1.02 - support for corona 1.1
v1.01 - minor changes optimize the script

Portals work best with:
+ small openings
+ small number of windows
+ simple scene
+ constant/LDR environments

Portals work bad with:
- complex scenes (many rooms with windows)
- sharp HDR maps (HDR maps with sharp illumination peaks - those that cast shadows)
- large/multiple windows



Sun is not influenced by portals.

great tip ondra.. will follow this tips in my next project

I made this fairly easily with geometry. Just a slightly rough metal material.

nice image... any tips on how you did it?

Thank you. Actually i want to add CoronaSky to Corona enviroment. I execute this code:

Code: [Select]

renderers.current.bg_texmapUseMain = on
renderers.current.bg_texmap = coronasky name:"EnvMap"and it creates Sky map, but do not changes enviroment from max's to Corona's. What i'm doing wrong?

you miss one line of code...

Code: [Select]

renderers.current.bg_texmapUseMain = on
renderers.current.bg_texmap = coronasky name:"EnvMap"
renderers.current.bg_source = 1

Thanks a lot!

If i'm not asking too much, is it possible to add sky to Corona's enviroment and to set global exposure to -4.0.

here...

Code: [Select]

environmentMap = coronasky()
renderers.current.colorMap_simpleExposure = -4

"render selected" (like vray) . useful if you want to render just the selected object and ignore the rest.

just use the mono option and graph the curve... and make sure also your fresnel is 999 if your making your own custom fresnel reflection..

just graph the non-polarized(green curve)... use mono option ...just ignore the two curves...

What type of license did you activate?

Is it possible you have the "Rendered frame window" checkbox unchecked in 3ds Max common render settings?

its ok now ondra... i tick rendered frame window and now working... how come in alpha 6, even though its unchecked it always use the corona vfb?
... anyways thanks for the solution

same problem with version 1 ... it does not show the corona vfb... when i tried clicking show VFB in it shows the native 3ds max frame buffer... i think its a bug... I uninstall it and use alpha 6 it works fine... please fixed it....
