Hi Aram,
Thank you for the reply.  Just so I udnertsand, Corona 12 has a full ACES workflow?  By turning it on in 3ds max 2025.  What tonning mapping features can be used in Frame buffer to keep it within the accurate workflow for ACES?   As I understand you can't change much in the tonning mapping apart from white balance.  Is this correct? 

Thank you

Hi,
I have an animation and I want to add a vase and book to the animation I have already rendered out but without rendering the whole frame again.  How can I go about render just the book and vase which was added after the original animation was rendered to include the correct shadows and any additional reflections they may add to other obejcts and put together in after effects?

Thanks

Does anyone tweak max rat depth and max sample intensity?
Also is 6% noise ok, i read 3% is meant for final images

Thanks for taking a look, I will try to break down the scene.  I was thinking about upgrading my computer and looking at the Threadripper 7980X, I couldn't see that as a bench mark on the link but guessing it will be at least twice as fast as what I currently have

Hi, thanks, I hace 64 gb of ram, i9- 7980xe @2.6GHz (not sure how good this is these days)
Rays/sample:142, passes 20.  I can show the render directly as it's  a paid job nda.  I have juat taken off dof, removed all glass and tweaked max samples and max Ray deth to see if that helps

Hi all,
I am rendering an interior, might have about 20 spots, sun and sky but the render times to get to 3% noise is about 9 hours for a 2k image.  I am also using dof (corona 9).  It was a few large windows.  At the end of the 9 hours the noise is little but are there things I should be looking for to reduce this time, I can live with 2 hours but not 9 per image. 

Thanks
