[Max] I need help! / Interactive Render - Matching Frame Buffer Size

« on: 2023-02-28, 19:31:45 »

Hopefully someone can help.
We have an image that needs to be 4000x4000 final render size but want to interactive render it at that resolution.

Once a render has been created at that size and then go to interactive render again, it goes back down to 1000x1000 by default. The only way of upscaling the frame buffer is to manually drag the window which isn't correct.

The image upscaling is set at 1.0 and can't be lowered anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

[Max] I need help! / Rendering Smoke - Phoenix FD

« on: 2019-12-06, 18:40:43 »

Dear All,

Hoping someone can help us please.
We have a scene that requires smoke to be shown. We've created the smoke with Phoenix FD and looks good in the viewport.

We can't appear to find the process behind how to render it out though. Under 'Rendering' we've tried the different options and they all crash 3DS Max.

Are we missing a step or is there another way of rendering the smoke effect. Really appreciate a speedy response if possible. many thanks.

Gallery / FIMA Bathroom Taps - Product CGIs

« on: 2019-10-07, 13:28:15 »

The SO Range

We recently completed a set of CGIs exploring the lighting and material techniques showcasing some of the SO tap range from FIMA. We love the design and appearance of these taps and the stylised lighting really helps balance the scene combined with slender profiles of the design. We hope you like them and value any comments.

All produced using Corona 3 with some minor colour balancing in PS.

Triple Oak is a secluded one off build for a private home on the outskirts of Meopham, UK.
We were asked to visualise the home with a rural feeling of unkempt meadows, large towering trees contrasting against the linear lines of the architecture.

Took us around 3 weeks to complete including client feedback. Post work done in PS and rendered with Corona of course.
Any feedback/comments appreciated. Many thanks.

Last month we had the huge opportunity to work on this private development in Sussex. Our visuals helped with the planning application of the build and also allowed the architects and owners understand how the building sat within the existing landscaping.

We were recently commissioned to create a set of CGI's to help with the planning app of a new basement and garage extension for a house on a private estate in Surrey.
The extension consisted of joining the double garage to the main house via a narrow corridor and extending out under the driveway area (where the gym is located).

You can view the virtual reality interactive tour here http://www.mgdesignuk.com/virtual-reality-cgi/long-wall/long-wall.html

[Max] I need help! / Distributed Rendering - Search Land Doesn't Show Render Nodes

« on: 2016-02-03, 22:23:18 »

Everything was working fine a few weeks back but now when I click on 'Search Lan' it doesn't show any of the render nodes! I have to manually add the machines via the IP address now rather them being displayed by the PC name.

I've tried the same method on one of the render nodes and the other PC's show up via IP addess and then the computer name in brackets.

Yes Corona DR is running on the render nodes as well.

I've tried uninstalling Corona on the problem machine, restarting everything. I hope someone can help me out here please.

[Max] I need help! / 3D CGI Interactive Product Viewer

« on: 2015-07-13, 10:55:05 »

We received a question from a client concerning the creation of a interactive 3D product viewer for one of their new products being launched. They want to embed the product viewer into their website and allow the user to rotate around the product using the mouse.

I've had a look at loads of different websites and the product viewers all appear to use very basic models plus there isn't much information out there about this. Can anyone shed any light on the best software out there to produce this / knowledge on how to go about this using Corona.

The best example I can find so far is off the Google SketchUp 3D Warehouse https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=ud240033c-6d8e-4564-9da2-ba6773861092

Many thanks in advance,
Max
