Off-Topic / good anti virus

« on: 2025-04-24, 16:01:58 »

finally moving away from kaspersky, what are people using here that's recommended?
just when you think youve found a good product someone on reddit destroys it :-/
I want to avoid something that's a resource hog
appreciate any info

Thanks Tom,
so if i was doing a house with say 5 rooms in the virtual tour how does the pricing work, I know its credits but what does a credit get you,
more importantly, is viewing the virtual tour restricted to an invite to the link, i.e. not somethign that can be embedded in to a webpage like marzipano
looks nice though

the scene has a large number of different sloping areas that has me shying away from doing it as models so would prefere to do via map on the polys that make up the paving area

In that case Corona tiles map is what you need.

@ romullus, just wondering why I can't see the "additional output 1" or the  Tile Color 1 , "Gap Color 1 " on the tile map, I'm using Corona R11
What noise settings did you use please,? mine looks way too blurry :-/
cheers

with 2 deadlines looming same thing happened to me yesterday, even though lic updated a couple of weeks ago as per warnings to 6.2+
got onto support, no reply - reinstalled lic and worked,
a day later still no reply, what would have happened if it didnt work after reinstall??
I am giving them benefit of doubt that they know it's working from me running it, hence no need to reply

my mistake, i was using a coronacolour as input on the uploaded file rather than the cosmos bitmap in my orignal file, all working perfectly  now - thanks for the help -
I need to spend a couple of days on mats again ;-)

Here's i did setup it for you. You should really try to start using SME as it makes complex material setup so much easier.

much appreciated,
I get what you are doing but it rips the texture off the road (using Ashphalt grey 15-30 from Cosmos) :-/
thanks
