[Max] Resolved Bugs / Lights object casting a shadow

« on: 2015-04-21, 02:50:56 »

Hi there.  1.0 is sweet, except for one thing, I cant turn off the shadows cast by the light object, I used to right click the light and a tick box 'shadows' used to be in the popup menu.  That has seem to be replaced with a window icon, that opens up light lister.  The shadows checkbox seems to be there, but when you uncheck it and close it, it doesnt work if you reopen light lister its still checked. 
Any ideas?

[Max] General Discussion / Rendering with Rebus

« on: 2014-11-26, 00:50:11 »

Hi Corona peeps,

I'm currently having a heated discussion with Rebus, I have run 20+ jobs with them recently, all similar scenes, all with exactly the same settings and resolution. All renders came out perfect except for the last one, which had been rendered before on rebus but with a minor geometric alteration, but this time the render came out incomplete, it had not finished the initial pass although they had charged me the full price.  I contacted them and they claim that the image (thumbnail) attached below is actually 25 passes, even though it has not even completed the alpha/wirecolour. 

I was hoping to get an official word from someone at Corona claiming whether or not these images below could possibly be 25 passes.

My week was going so well before this (what a nightmare)

Hope you can set the record straight!!

Work in Progress/Tests / Arch Exterior with Corona

« on: 2014-10-02, 03:03:10 »

I started a topic a while ago called - Corona for exterior architecture, as most renders I found here were interior renders.  The response was that corona is excellent for exteriors.  So I tried it, and yep, its excellent.  Thanks guys, here are a few projects that I have used it on.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Zdepth Bug_02

« on: 2014-06-13, 03:56:47 »

Hey Guys,
I have noticed a few other zdepth topics but this is different again.  The zdepth looks fine in the frame buffer however output file has some strange effects. I have tried other formats but does the same.

Check it out :)

[Max] General Discussion / Architectural Exterior Renders using Corona

« on: 2014-05-26, 08:13:33 »

Hey Peeps,
So we all know Corona is friggin' awesome for doing closed spaces ie interior renders etc. So what's the general thoughts about using it for exterior renders.  I am about to start on a big project and was thinking about using Corona.  If admin is serious about world domination this should be quite an important topic.  Has anyone pioneered it for exteriors?  Will I get as good or if not better result than vray or iray?  Or is it just not built for exteriors??

Any feedback would be much appreciated as I don't want to jeopardise this success of my next project...

:) :) :)

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Wire Tex

« on: 2014-05-13, 05:06:01 »

HI Guys,
Is it possible to add a material slot for the Corona_wiretex material.  Currently it can only do solid colour, I would like to add a bitmap - (for doing architectural elevations with materials and outlines)
See example
Cheers
Tim

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Colour/shade in Material Editor

« on: 2014-05-04, 05:14:37 »

Hi Guys,
Minor thing..  It seems that the display color/brightness of the material editor preview is very different to the color picker.  I think in general the material editors previews are overbright. Check the attached example

Gallery / Friday night drinks with Corona

« on: 2014-04-17, 06:24:56 »

Well its actually Thursday, but tomorrow is Easter Friday so we are already having a few.  You will find this beer somewhere in all of my (interior) scenes.  I have attached the model if anyone wants to use it.  Keep up the good work and the next round is on me :)

[Max] Resolved Bugs / DR server not starting.

« on: 2014-04-15, 09:12:50 »

HI Guys,
Getting this error when starting the DR server ( Cannot open/read/write file C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona\DrServer\drData\DrConfig.txt)

Is this administration privileges related or otherwise?

Regards

[Max] General Discussion / Launching DRserver without admin privileges

« on: 2014-04-15, 03:21:28 »

Hey Corona,
We are an architectural practise in Australia, and we are pleased to help you with any development, ideas, feedback for Corona renderer. 
So far we have only come across one issue, in large design offices most people do not have admin privileges so we cannot start the DR server.
We want to see Corona become no.1 over vray, and one thing that you should consider is allowing the DRserver to be launched without contacting system admin.
Maybe it should also be listed in the start menu, we cannot access anything in program files,
I look forward to your reply
