[Max] Feature Requests / Xrite Axf support

« on: 2018-10-25, 14:10:49 »

Hi Corona team :)

Hope you all are doing well.

I was wondering. We want to expand our services by offering material scanning.
However, my favorite render software doesn't read Axf files.

Anyway to support this or is there a workaround that doesn't involve Vray?

Many thanks,
Per

Very useful indeed! :)
Great idea.
Something I have always missed in Deltagen :)

Thanks for clearing that out! :)

So, that means Vrscans in Corona and buying that scanning machine from Chaosgroup for me;))
Luckily Christmas is coming :)

Hi Kosso,

Sounds great.
I mean great you where able to test it.

As for SD. I put here a link to the presentation I viewed.
http://on-demand.gputechconf.com/siggraph/2017/video/sig1706-sebastien-deguy-nicolas-paulhac-marc-ellens-scan-to-materials.html?utm_source=Substance+for+Architecture+%26+Design&utm_campaign=5def6dced2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4a29f8976b-5def6dced2-331652481&mc_cid=5def6dced2&mc_eid=29c39dac33

Lot of commercial sales stuff talk but the demo starts at min 25.
It maybe explains you better what I mean.

Hi all,

Thanks for the many replies and questions.

As Christa correctly assumes, I am pro automotive viz artist. For those type of companies, and in my opinion, more and more product manufacturers are requesting this kind of accuracy and detail.
The most straightforward way is to capture the material.
But after it can be influenced anymore. Enter AxF and it's support by Substance.

As for the format(-s). I don't really care much about which format. MDL, AxF, Vrscans,...
I am interested in the capturing device, it's connection to a Corona and the ability to adjust or influence these scans after it has been scanned. That's why I found the Siggraph presentation/demonstration from Substance designer very interesting. The Axf format can be opened and influenced in SD, which is a hugely beneficial. Hopefully it works like they claim it does.

Only size of these scans is sometimes difficult. Some fabrics have very large tiles in real life. Like, an entire seat.

I would very much welcome an Chaosgroups device. Why not? But it has to be adjustable later on.

Cheers

@Juraj

No Xrite don't have a library of there own.
I got a newsletter from Algorithmic about SD's ability to process and adjust Axf files.

Since I work for a large automotive viz company, where all is about accuracy, this workflow of scanning material samples on our own (and not depend on VRscans) would be very interesting.

Cheers

Hi,

I have been using a script called VPR for Redshift in Maya (also his other scripts are genius).
https://store.cgfront.com/slib-plug-ins/25-slib-vpr-maya.html

This framebuffer has some nice features and intelligent features that I would love to see in Corona.

1. Crpytomatte
2. VRscans shaders
3. Nvidia MDL
4. AxF support for x-rite captured device

This would be awesome for automotive and product viz

Hi guys,

1. Will Corona be able to read VRscans materials from Vray?
2. Will it support Axf files, as they can be captured by x-rite device and authored in Substance? In product and automotive we are scanning more and more materials.

Cheers
