[Max] I need help! / cast shadows only on external objects-image w.i.p.

« on: 2022-12-06, 16:30:34 »

Hi; I have a problem..in all renders :)
to underexpose the exterior (even if it's not fiscally correct), I usually create exterior materials and decrease the gamma or exposure value.
If I want to create a plane that generates shadow, how can I make only the exterior materials receive that plane's shadow?
so as not to affect the internal light? it's possible? thank you

[Max] General Discussion / caustics problem

« on: 2022-11-03, 10:49:10 »

Hi,
I am attaching a part of an image of a swimming pool.
I activated caustics solver (in performance) and in the water material the caustics option (slow);
if I do a short preview I see all these luminous artifacts; it also happens in another scene without the glass .. how can I solve?
do i have to exclude the materials that cause me problems from the caustics?
thanks for the support

[Max] General Discussion / problem with batch render / corona image editor (first time test)

« on: 2022-10-13, 17:13:04 »

hi,
i have a doubt with batch render.

I saved two lightmix setups (one purple (just to understand) as in the picture and one normal);
in batch render I select the various corona cameras (the batch render starts with the last saved lightmix, in this case the purple one).
Save the images in .cxr

I open corona image editor:
- I apply the postprocessing file to the image (ok)
- I can't apply the relative lightmix file .. why? i want to change the light mix from purple to normal color

ps. in render elements I have:
cshading_lightmix
cshading_lightselect
Thank,
Matteo

[Max] I need help! / batch render / lightmix setup

« on: 2022-08-29, 11:59:07 »

hello everyone .. I'm in the corona render test phase.
I have a question. if at night I start more renderings.. I use batch render linked to the state scenes.
How do I link the lightmix settings to each image?

I thought:
save the lightmix file (.conf) for each image.
the next morning I open each image with corona image editor and apply the relative saved .conf file to the images
it's correct?
Thanks..

[Max] General Discussion / cosmos browser difference corona vs vray

« on: 2022-08-25, 12:37:23 »

Hello everybody,
I started today to try corona render (I use vray gpu) and I am impressed by the stability and speed of the interactive rendering.
I have a question:
i tried to open chaos cosmos with vray and i see some differences with chaos cosmos corona. it is my problem having at the moment vray and corona
or in corona, for example, the decals category is missing; or in vray cosmos i see 540 fabrics and in corona cosmos i have 10 assets..
thanks..

[Max] General Discussion / new in the forum..help to purchase corona render

« on: 2022-08-23, 17:04:36 »

hello everyone,
this is the first time I write on the forum.
My vray license is about to expire and I am thinking of purchasing Corona, for the first time.
Surely the price is very competitive and the forum posts some wonderful works. It scares me to switch to cpu system.
I only use gpu since 2016, first octane render and then vray gpu.
I would like to switch to Corona especially for the much more developed architecture community than vray.
Soon I am updating my workstation with:

- CPU AMD RYZEN 9 5950X 16C / 32T 3.4GHz Turbo 4.9GHz 64mb
- MB ASUS X570-PRO
- 128 gb RAM

I am a little worried about the render times even though corona is very fast..I have seen render times of 4/5 hours per image in 2/3 k definition.
should i expect similar rendering times? or in general interior or exterior scenes of medium complexity are rendered in a shorter time?
(I would like to know some of your experiences before changing software)

thanks everyone for the advice .. it would be of great help
Matteo
