Gallery / Residential Apartments - Photomontage

« on: 2015-03-19, 12:39:54 »

A very eye catching photomontage we produced recently of a new residential build based in West Drayton, UK. Using 3DS Max and Corona Alpha 6 of course! It was the first photomontage we had produced using Corona and it worked a treat.... We now use Corona for all of our projects :) thanks team.

[Max] I need help! / 3D Animation - Long Render Time Per Frame and Noise

« on: 2015-02-11, 17:16:08 »

Hi People,

Just trialing doing the first commercial animation with corona but I'm struggling with the render time per frame and the noise. The animation needs to be full HD at 1920x1080 and after 45mins of rendering one frame there is still a lot of noise. Using Corona Alpha 6.

My settings are the following:

Corona Sky and Sun
PT + HD
GI/AA:64
Light Samples Multiplier: 2
Max Sample Intensity: 20
Max Ray Depth: 25

Any input would be great as it's doing my head in! I've read through everything on the forum with no real conclusion to the best settings to be using. I understand every scene is different but this is just a simple interior scene with a moving camera.

Many thanks

[Max] I need help! / Tree Colour - Washed Out

« on: 2015-01-08, 12:54:14 »

I hope someone can help me out here. My trees are always washed out when rendering with corona. All other materials come through but for some reason vegetation always looks muted and dull.

Any ideas of what is going on here - example attached.

[Max] I need help! / Render Elements Not Saving Out After Render

« on: 2014-12-21, 01:25:57 »

When rendering locally on the workstation and distributed the render across the render farm; with 'Render Output' ticked and a destination for the renders to save out to it only appears to save the beauty pass.

The other render elements save out but they are just black and only 54KB in size. This appears to happen only when rendering large images (over 5K) and across the network for a period of time.

The render elements don't have their own save destination as I thought the 'Render Output' overwrites that when the render finishes. Any one else have this problem or a solution.

[Max] I need help! / Material Masks Through Glass / Transparenet Materials - Render Elements

« on: 2014-12-06, 16:16:34 »

Hi People,

In vray there is an option to make a material mask be visible through glass / transparent materials. Is this possible with Corona? I'm using V6 Alpha.

Many thanks

We were commissioned to produce a set of visuals of an existing London office space that is going to be refurbished. The client wanted the visuals to be light and modern so that potential rentals could appreciate the natural lighting, floor space and heigh ceilings.

Let us know what you think :)

[Max] I need help! / Animation Set UP - Tutorial

« on: 2014-11-14, 14:48:34 »

I know this might sound like a very stupid question but how do you set up a scene for animation? Obviously you need the cameras paths etc but what are the setting steps? I can't find any tutorials on this - some help would be appreciated :)

Many thanks,

Hi People,

Haven't posted in a while as we have been super busy with new projects. Just a quick glimpse of one the recent ones completed below. The interior design was very client lead (not my taste) but that's the way things go sometimes! Let me know if you have comments or things that can be improved upon.

Many thanks

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Object's Randomly Intersecting During Render

« on: 2014-11-10, 15:06:31 »

Hi People,

Please see attached a set of images that show clearly that the bottles aren't intersecting the bar but when it's rendered something very strange has happened to them. They look like they have gone through the bar!!!

Any ideas would be great...

[Max] I need help! / Help: Hair and Fur Mesh - Corona Renderer

« on: 2014-09-16, 15:47:33 »

I hope someone can help me out on this. I have created a Moldavian styled roof hut (long dried grasses) using hair and fur in 3DS Max but it doesn't appear to render with Corona; is this right? I have tried converting it to a mesh but the hair turns into cylinders. Is there a way around this problem?

Many Thanks in advance,

Hi Peeps,

Another recent project completed for a small unit re-fit in London. It's a Japanese based sushi restaurant (I have to admit it's not very Japanese styled but it's what the client wanted). Any comments or criticisms welcome - enjoy!

[Max] I need help! / Corona - Object and Material ID's

« on: 2014-09-03, 11:18:58 »

Hi People,

I can't figure out how best to make material ID's and object ID's like when using Vray. I have set up the 'CMasking_ID' and have gone through the options there but doesn't appear to be a setting that allows you to make a red, green or blue mask for materials or objects.

Any insight into how people are getting around masking objects; such as grass or trees then please let me know. I'm using version 6 for people's reference.

Many thanks in advance,
Max
