General CG Discussion / Chaos anima forums are totally silent..

« on: 2025-05-12, 23:34:10 »

HI, just for a heads up for the chaos employees here, the Anima forums are totally silent, NO single response from developers, if some one can comunicate higger up would be really great, Not a single response from developers is really bad sign.

[Max] I need help! / Im getting longer render times when using long focal lenghts, is it normal ?

« on: 2025-05-09, 22:43:01 »

Hi, im noticing very long render times on a particular project were i have a couple of long focal lengts 90mm+
Is it normal? maybe less photons can reach the camera position or something else? on a normal camera or scene i get something like 5M Rays, but on these scenes i get 800.000k
I could share the scene on a private link if needed.

[Max] I need help! / Re: How to configure PROPERLY 3dsmax and Corona to work on Davinci / Aces

« on: 2025-04-02, 17:12:26 »

Hi thx for the reply, here is that test, dont know why it does not work, i lost dynamic range, the colors look similar, but im looking to have them 100% correct.

So if I understand you correctly then the typical workflow for getting the 32bit EXR over is to first make sure all your tonemapping operators are off (exposure can be on) so that you end up with that beautiful linear image.

Then in Resolve go to the color page and set up a Color space transform node where your input color space is sRGB, input gamma is Linear and both outputs are sRGB.

If you're using the ACES OT operator in the stack you can replicate its effect by bringing in the ACES Transform node and set it to either work in sRGB (Linear) (if you have not done the above) or sRGB (if you've already done the above and just want to put the ACES OT operator effect on top of that).

The way the other operators work however you'll probably have to recreate their effect by hand with Resolve's tools.

Does that help in any shape or form?

[Max] Bug Reporting / Corona renders different shading with anisotropy

« on: 2025-02-28, 23:57:16 »

We have a scene where corona will produce a shading bug when using anisotropy, all objects have the same material but render way different.
We spend a LOT of time debugging this until we found the anisotropy was to blame..

« on: 2024-08-14, 16:58:44 »

Hi, i think i found a bug regarding caustics and phoenix
I have a jacuzzi phoenix sim, i i use the point mode the caustics will not show, if i change the mode to bubbles it will show the caustics, the problem with it is the extended render time that the bubbles bring to the scene..
Im using max 2024.2.4 and corona 11.2

[Scatter] I need help! / How do I .. In chaos scatter

« on: 2024-04-30, 23:16:32 »

Hi, im trying to do some simple scatter using chaos scatter.

1. First when i make an spline scatter, where can i specify a surface for it to stick to??
2. How can i scatter an empty object ? In forest i just create an empty object and that way i can have an scatter that has some gaps, like its not filling all the spaces (its really handy, trust me...)
In corona scatter if i create a box and turn it not renderable the scatter will render it... If i create a dummy it will not work..

Thx in advance !

[Max] I need help! / Re: An exception occurred while rendering with 3ds Max

« on: 2024-01-22, 22:58:03 »

Im using a different pc to do the rendering, but also have tried on the same pc that has the 3dsmax scene opened and the result is the same.

Big update: Turning all the railclone to mesh works, the render runs just fine through Pulze render manager and our farm.
Already contacted itoo with the findings
