News / Re: Corona Renderer 1.7 for 3ds Max released!

Hi guys,

Is it possible to have an older version of Corona installed along with the newer 1.7 release? In the same version of Max.

Thanks!

Thats iteresting... it seems that its only avaliable in slate edtitor mode (im still using classic). So 1 = Ward, 3 is ggx (by default right?) and what is 0 and 2?

Hi does anyone have a response to this?

Sorry Maru, when you say Either in 1.2.1 and DB., do you mean that it will be possible in them versions of Corona?

Maybe he means that when he colour corrects in compositing using the element as a mask, he is getting a dark edge?

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / 3ds Max "Direct" Light soft shadows

« on: 2015-09-28, 14:57:38 »

Has anyone tried using a standard 3ds Max Direct Light with Corona before? I can't get the soft shadows parameter to work. I have Corona shadows enabled too.

Thanks

Hi romullus,

It's always good to cheat, especially in TV series production. Sometimes realism isn't always what we want :) Thanks for the tip about the turbidity parameter.

I remember when using the same setup in Mental Ray a few years back, I felt the blue cast was always too much also.

Juraj, I agree, the CC node in Max is terrible ,but for certain situations it can be handy. The brightness parameter in it is so bad. It actually heavily affects the contrast of a texture, I avoid it as much has I can.

Thanks lads

[Max] I need help! / Corona Sky and colour correction node

« on: 2015-09-23, 18:21:05 »

Hi,

I am using Corona Sky in my environment slot. The blue cast is very strong. So I tried using a colour correct node to desaturate the Corona Sky. Is this common practice and has anybody ran into trouble with this workflow before?

Thanks!

Sorry, but this is not a very helpful error report. Please add some more details:
-what you were doing when it happened
-what version of 3ds max / Corona
-were you running IR?
-...

I was just doing an unfiltered zdepth local render. Nothing heavy. It has happened a few people on my team.

Hi I was juts wondering has anyone encountered this error message, I have been using Corona since March and this is the first time I have seen this. It says:


Halt! Exceptiontime! Exception: please report at http://forum.corona-renderer.com

Access violation - no RTTI data!

Thanks

Ah that's a pity, thanks.

We are currently using a workaround for doing it, so we can get by.

[Max] General Discussion / Area to Render: Selected in Corona 1.2

« on: 2015-08-09, 11:57:28 »

Hi,

I notice in the list of updates for 1.2 that Area to Render: Selected is now possible.

If anyone has used this, does this act like the subset of scene in Mental Ray? What I mean is does it render an object and cut out all unselected objects while still being able to receive GI and other contributions from the surrounding objects?

Thanks!

[Max] I need help! / Corona Ocean shader - like Mental Ray

« on: 2015-07-23, 12:24:02 »

Hi,

Does Corona have any kind of procedural map for water surfaces? Mental Ray has a really handy one (water, reflective surface (bump)), that's quite effective to use on flat surfaces.

Any thoughts are welcome :)

Thanks
