Hi!
comparatively recently I "found" Corona Renderer, and I was pleasantly surprised - is possible to predict (unambiguous) the successful future of this product.
Calculations speed allows "to play" very effectively with materials, and here I will publish tests of the some materials.
Rusty chrome-plated steel (full procedural - used Bercon maps by Jerry Ylilammi). Not finished.

If there is an opportunity to use Bitmaps - use them (best way - Bitmaps + Texmaps procedural). To use only procedural Texmaps for some materials is a perversion - for more or less realistic result we receive such "sausage"...

Some jewelry metals for the new CMPPmax (Corona Material Presets Pro for 3ds Max) :) Yellow Gold 14K and 18K.

HOLY CRAP!!!!...
Now that's something!.
I have tried to do some rusted materials with no luck.
Great one!

Hi,
about two hours working with the procedural texmaps. Material is not complete, it is necessary to add scratches (additional), even a little dirt.

Can highly suggest SigerShader Mat plugin :- )!
I use it only for custom materials I create, but if the Vray shaders (which are quite nice!) were converted to Corona I would gladly use as well.

Nice one! I'll definitely buy it when it is done :)

Sooo, where can we buy your Corona library? ;D
-
Wow these look great!
Could I put in a request for the following materials:
1. Corten Steel
(http://constructpix.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/corten-steel-cladding-750x960.jpg)
2. Patinated brass
(http://www.bdonline.co.uk/Pictures/web/a/v/l/Brass_Cladding_goldsmiths.jpg)
3. Antique bronze
(http://www.knobs-etc.com/images/calcrystal/C1700-US5.jpg)
4. And a full library of tillable marble textures, most notably white veined marble as there seems to be a distinct lack of high res Calacatta Oro type marble materials available on the market.

(http://www.stonehousetiles.co.uk/im_lightbox/productsimages/19-06-10-15-14-10-New-Saint-Laurent-Marble.jpg)
If the above were included it would be an insta-buy from me!
-
Yes and panels of wood too please ! It's very difficult to find large panels of wood, when having complete walls made of wood. They already are tileable and we always see the repetition...
-
Can highly suggest SigerShader Mat plugin :- )!
I got the impression from another topic that you weren't too fond of the Siger mats Juraj....guess I was wrong.
I used the mr series for a bit, but like you ended up using them as a basis for custom materials.

Maybe he likes the plugin only like he said, not the mats :D Who knows!

No you are correct, I preached the plugin :- ).
But I bought about 2-3 weeks ago the 3.001 for everyone and it seems like all the materials are rebuilt, with curves from Refractiveindex (!!), so it seems like whole new set. But I use Corona mostly so :- )/
-
Hi,
to create some materials exist one serious problem with the CoronaMtl - Anisotropy orientation (rotation). It locked to global (world) space and is a big limitation to create materials like brushed/satin metals, some fabrics (silk, satin, moire, taffeta, crushed velvet, etc...), brushed plastics/carbon fiber... Currently anisotropy in CoronaMtl is absolutely useless: in case of change the object orientation or complex curvature geometry - anisotropy orientation still in the same direction. I very much hope that in case of opportunity will be made Anisotropy rotation in object/local/UV space.
But also at this stage material is very good ;)
-
Nice! would buy if the corona mats are in there!
-
OMFG you given new meaning to the slate editor :D
Please can you limit your simple materials like gold, chrome or 10000 different shades of grey to a minimum :D in your corona release, and more of this rust BOO YAA in your face epic materials? (:
-
Special/deco metal finishes. Antique Brass coated/matte. Full procedural, only Max/Corona texmaps. For CMPPmax materials I don't use third-party plugins (like Bercon maps). More advanced shaders will be soon available in MatRepo ( www.sigerstudio.eu ). I plan to create the new section (and mentally already I began :D ) at MatRepo for Corona materials.

I would also purchase if this was made available for corona
-
Really nice materials Siger :)
Is there any ETA when could the Corona version be available for purchase in your store?

Do you have an idea on the pricing yet?
and do you also plan to do a corona studio set up pro?
-
Hi,
The price for the lifetime license most likely will be as well as for other similar products (VMPPmax).
About CSSPmax - was such thought, but for this purpose I shall work a lot and seriously with Corona ;)
-
is the lifetime license node locked?
-
Yes, the licenses are node locked (plugin, but not materials :) ).
-
I start to developing the free Corona material library (a small set of 10-20 shaders). It will be available from the new Corona Renderer site (I hope :) ).
Procedural metal rust (basic).

Does the Satin chrome have pure black diffuse ? It feels oddly plastic.
Your Vray3.1 chrome on FB looks bomb btw !.
-
Hi Juraj,
yes, it is understandable that no diffuse (black) :) It's very blurry chrome for furniture details (like door knobs, etc...). Other name Euro matte (but required very small bump (can be used cellular map).
To reproduce similar materials (as on FB page) - required mappable (per UV space) anisotropy param :(

Would be awesome if siger could partner with corona to make this part of the fair Saas licence with new materials monthly

Carbon fiber Black Coated (Free lib). For more convincing result it's necessary Anisotropy Rotation in UV space. Pro tempore it is impossible... :(

It will be probably added soon, but only after 1.0 is out

Hi,
At least for me it is very good news! :) Number of material jumps to the next level.
-
Siger, did you unwrap the shader ball model? Your UVW mapping is much better than what Grant is using on his (can't show certain materials like brick, tile, etc properly). I tried editing the UVWs on my version but haven't been successful (I'm also not entirely familiar with unwrapping UVWs). Was also thinking of just remodeling the ball from scratch but haven't had the time.
-
My shaderball modeled (poly) from scratch (design based on Grants shaderball - I think it's currently best design for shaderball). Also it's manually unwrapped.
P. S. I have permissions from Grant :)

Polished concrete floor test (CMPPmax materials).
As you know, there are 4 levels of concrete polishing (with several variations) - Level 1 - 4.
- Level 1 - Floor has little if any reflectivity.
- Level 2 - From a distance, floor will start to reflect images from the side.
- Level 3 - Floor starts to shine, but has a slightly fuzzy appearance.
- Level 4 - The floor is very shiny and looks wet from a distance.
And also very much influences type of final exposure (full, random, nil exposure, warehouse, burnished finish...), seal...
Level 1

Many thanks to all in the beta program. To tell the truth, even I didn't hope for such flow of requests.
The necessary quantity of testers is selected and registration of new candidates at this stage is finished.
-
Is there any kind of ETA for the corona material presets?
-
Hi,
soon... But not earlier than the Corona commercial version will appear :)
-
Hi Siger, I'd be very interested in the beta test. Feel free to contact me and/or check my website www.zdi.it
-
Hello Siger, can you share any update on the progress of CMPP ?
-
It will be probably added soon, but only after 1.0 is out
Good news, please as soon as you can!
-
Hello Siger, can you share any update on the progress of CMPP ?
Now I test licensing and prepare installer... Soon, very soon...
-
Any possible discount for owners of VMPP (or swapping the licence) ? Will material libraries created for VMPP be transferable to corona version of the same plugin ?
-
For registered VMPPmax users promo (30 days) discount 50% (Contact me via email for code).
Structure and logic of User Library Manager the same as VMPPmax.

Working with docs and promo, but initial release now published. Intro promo discount for all new purchases 15 euros (30 days from now).
-
Are you also working on SSS materials
-
Yes, it is planned.
-
Looks really great. Do you think you would ever do a C4D version once Corona for C4D is released?

So far it isn't planned. Now I am concentrated on CMPPmax, VMPPmax, VMPPmaya...
Perhaps in more long-term future :)
-
I have bought it immediately. :) Thanks for this great material collection. Hopefully you would add more Wood stuff. ;)
-
Very good shaders!
Reflection of metals even divided by the color/wave
Great thank you Siger!

Excuse me for asking, but are there really no way of handling of map scaling in Siger? I mean, I am normally running in real world scale in cm - and loading any material from the collection the maps are all set to 1 cm - which is obviously not correct when you look at the individual maps. Is it really so that you have to set the map scaling for each map manually every time you use it - and I don't really see any way to save the new settings for the in built materials, as they are probably hard coded into the plug-in. One solution is of course to resave all the materials in the user section, but not really a task I was expecting, - so I hope I have missed something somewhere :O)
-
Some time all maps (in VMPP) were used in real world scaling, but... more than a half of users weren't happy that!
Now difficult to remember their arguments, but since then mapping - the free choice of the user.
-
Hi thanks for fast reply.
hmmm wouldn't it be smart then to have a setting in the plugin that handled this - Real World Scaling (Y/N) - and optionally Real World Scaling Unit ?
I suppose all the settings in the in built materials are hardcoded in the database, right? - So I suppose it should be quite easy to change the scaling?
As an alternative, could you maybe add controler in the material that handles the scaling - as they follow each other in size.
it would then also be nice to get a list showing the scaling you have used when you made the individual material.
Thanks :)
-
It's possible to think of it in the future... maybe about hint/note textblock on deflib interface for each material/group (texture coverage size, for example 300x300mm).
-
+1000 for Real World Scale option, coupled with correct scaled procedurally dependent on the units used.
Tried your free material samples, and I think you did a realy good job there. But the lack of Real World Scale means that one have to do his own corrected versions of your materials for use in most Arch Viz jobs.
Not as efficient as it could be ;)
Keep up the good work
-
Every time I see a finely tuned material applied on a small sample object of some sort I think nice, but how will this 20cm sample of concrete translate when I apply it to an interior floor? Could you provide an example of, say, a kitchen shot that makes use of these presets? Doesn't have to be anything astonishing geometry-wise but I'd like to see that how the stucco, stone, concrete and others look when applied to a scene that has real world scale objects in it.
-
In previous posts (this topic) you can find concrete floor in real size interior.

Yeah found them, thanks. I just skimmed through the samples @ your website and didn't notice the real size tests. Looking good!
-
If I were to purchase the plugin, could it be installed on 2 computers (home and work)?

No. License key file can be updated (re-generated) if you change computer hardware or computer, but not switch between computers.
To all: Please ask questions specific to the CMPPmax via Support email form at www.sigershop.eu/store/

Hello, I've got a question regarding buying CMPP and SIGERSHADERS Vol. 1 - is there any other payment method besides PayPal.
The thing is I live in crimea (yeah that same one :( ) and due to it's annexation by russia and following well deserved sanctions by eu and us, PayPal is no longer available to any of crimean denizens, be they russia loving or not, and thus, as a result, my account was suspended too.
On SIGERSHADERS Vol. 1 checkout page I have read the following : "you can pay with your credit card if you don’t have a PayPal account" - yet I hadn't noticed anything similar on CMPP's checkout page and I'm only presented with standard PayPal screen which got me a little confused.
If other payment method's are not possible, can I buy CMPP using my Ukraine residing friend's account and later on, then (or probably if :( ) russia will be kicked out of here and PayPal will be back, change my billing info to purchase some updates etc. using my then restored or some new account ?
P.S Atleisk uz kvailus klausimus bet maniske situacija yra ant tiek debiliska ant kiek tas is vis gali buti, pllius dar noretusi spet pasinaudot ta coronos pirkimu gauta nuolaida nes su pinigais paskutiniu metu visai ne tortas - po ruskiu atejimo cia tokia "procvetaniye" prasidejo kad turbut tik jiem to ir palaimesi )

To Antanas,
please read PM ;)

Hi Siger,
I use both Vray and Corona, would I have to buy both CMPP and VMPP?
-
Hi Siger,

If you need materials - yes. If only material manager - enough one plugin :)
-
But aren't they basically the same materials? This feels almost a bit greedy since I would already pay for them once when I buy one of them, some form of upgrade price/discount would make a lot of sense to me.
I guess I will just have to use the Corona material converter. :)
-
I must say that CCMP is quite a catch, but Its quite "small" library comparted to VMP
-
Start quick tests. New high-res floor textures for upcoming CMPPmax update. Currently - Herringbones 7:1, 6:1, 5:1 (Oak).
-
That's looking very promising, can't wait for the update.
A have a side question and perhaps you can awnser it here: There is the ability to use real world scale, but it's only possible in cm's. Since I work in meters I still have to manually convert the values. Could you also provide an option for real world scale in meters please?

Hello! I realy love CMPP. This is very usefull tool for me. I would like to see some more kind materials like painted metals, more types of plastic and textiles. Anyway, Sigher you makes great work for us. Thank you very much!
