Very nice! 30-50% performance drop in some average scene is quite expensive though. But it seems that Itoo drastically reduced the lag after selecting a forest object - even nicer :)
Good Luck!

I think this only works since 5.0.2b. Edge mode of beta 5.0.1b didn´t worked at all in Corona.
Better to wait for a stable release :)

Just tested Beta 5.0.1 + Max 2016 + Corona 1.3: Could not make edge mode work. Viewport preview (Ctrl+Click "Edge" radiobutton) shows a promising result. Itoo included Corona materials with Forest_Edge map in the opacity slot (a shell map to enable Corona and MR to use edge mode - happy coding DeadClown ;).
When I create a new Material using Forest_Edge in opacity slot, the material becomes completely invisible. The same happens when I untick Legacy mode in the provided materials.
Edge mode works in MR now using Forest_Edge in fact. Was anyone successful with Corona yet? Or is still something missing at Coronas side?
Good Luck

« on: 2015-11-16, 10:42:37 »Is this scene freezes only on our nodes?
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,10136.msg64690.html#msg64690
Just because no one seems to report tests with this scene: It renders fine here (after adjusting map paths of course). 30 seconds initial frame, 12 seconds subsequent ones. Used 15 nodes, nothing unusal to be found. (Max 2014 SP3 / BB 2014.0.0.1635 / Corona 1.3)

I also agree with romullus, it´s a CameraMod, not a RenderSettingMod but as I posted earlier, it seems a good location to handle scene settings at the first glance.
So another idea would be to have a CameraMod (as it is now, including "Shape" option as the last one missing so that a proper DOF on/off and not "override" can be implemented but that´s another story) AND a "CoronaSceneMod" with all the stuff about Render settings as shown in the mockup (and maybe more). This looks more flexible and easier to handle for me and blends away a lot of UI confusion for users who only want to override basic camera settings.
As for the idea to link (Max) Render Presets:
- I hate them and find them cumbersome :]
- Render Presets are another file(!) in the first place somewhere on some harddisk. I expect issues when it comes to networked rendering, scene exchange and so on, but maybe there is a simple solution for that
Good Luck!

See
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,9824.msg62886.html#msg62886
Summary: You need to select the Forest source objects, not the Forest object itself.
In case of "Viewport selection" ... well a very dificult task ;)
Maybe it´s time for Ondra to choose Option B (even though I will miss how it´s working currently).
Good Luck!

Even though being extremly curious I will not ask which trouble but instead hope...
... this will come true. It would provide a completely different (and simpler) approach for many situations indeed.
Good Luck!

I don´t think it´s a good idea to put everything in CameraMod though at the moment it seems the only reasonable location.
Since max exists I would like to have the render settings (even those in the Common tab) to be just keyable. But I don´t know if it´s even possibe to implement. It would be another approach to handle different settings in that (very common) scenario you described. In your case you would join the cams into a single one and simply animate settings along timeline.
Exactly.

Scene States are horrible and unreliable to use.

[Max] I need help! / Re: adding some shortcut buttons
« on: 2015-11-06, 10:22:24 »
As Ondra posted (while I was typing) basically it´s a one-liner:
CoronaRenderer.CoronaFp.showVfb(true)
To very quickly create a button:
1. Open MaxScript listener
2. Paste that line
3. Mark the line in the listener window
4. Drag to a Toolbar, done.
But also have a look at this:
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,8930.0.html
The show vfb button in this toolbar does further checks (also checks for current renderer and some more)
Good Luck!

Your whole interface looks weird imho. A lot of space wasted everywhere, extremly large fonts etc... is this by purpose? Maybe you should check your dpi settings/font size in windows at the first place?
Another idea: Is it by chance a screenshot from a laptop? I remember I had similar issues on my current laptop with max at the beginning (wasted space in every GUI element), looked equally.

I don´t know why this doesn´t get more attention but I just wanted to let you know that it´s more than enjoyable what you post here :) I like especially materials in HNE to HNE3 and the "story" in val11 (besides it´s always good to see something other than archvis).
In your last post I´m struggling to identify those ... coins(?) what are they?

Additionally this scene looks like it is done to showcase portals. Try two portals at the windows to speed up your rendering:
