Title: CCC eliminates bump, CoronaBumpConverter eliminates CoronaWire bump
Post by: Frood on 2019-02-27, 11:14:17

When piping a map through CoronaColorCorrect (CCC) and using it in the bump slot, bump is lost if brightness is left unchanged at default = 0.

Repro:

1. Open scene, open SME
2. Render IR -> bump ok
3. Plug CCC directly into bump slot -> bump gone
4. Pipe CCC output through CoronaBumpConverter (CBC) -> bump there, but less intense
5. Plug CCC directly into bump slot again -> bump gone
6. Change "Brightness" in CCC to any value <>0 -> bump there

And a bonus glitch:

7. Plug CoronaWire map into bump -> bump ok
8. Pipe CoronaWire output through CBC -> bump gone (I guess it's the "Falloff" needed for use as bump)


Good Luck

We will look into this ASAP. (I know about the Skype discussion too ;) )

Additional info:

At (3), if you change CCC brightness to anything but 0 (0.001 will do for example) it works.

Revisited this with Max 2016 | Corona version: 5 (DailyBuild Aug 27 2019)


Good Luck

This seems to be working fine now in V6 HF1. There is still some change in the bump strength if brightness value is changed in CCC, but I hope it's not a big issue. If it is, we will log it once we hear about it from the users.
