[Max] I need help! / [solved] No Corona 6 daily builds for 3ds max 2013

« on: 2020-02-23, 23:48:33 »

Hi,
I tried to install the recent daily build (corona-6-3dsmax-daily-2020-02-20) on... 3ds max 2013. Version 5 worked and even some daily builds of Corona 6 could be installed in 2013.

So during this last installation, there were no errors. But when I launched  3dsmax it said I have corona 5 installed. I guess the update did not work after all.

I reinstalled the daily build it using "Custom mode". Then I noticed that there are only 2014 - 2020 versions available.

So, Is it already decided that 3ds max 2013 will not be supported?
If so, I will need to cancel my subscription ( I have a box license with a subscription for updates).

It would be nice to get some type of warning.
I still hope that is a temporary glitch and somehow 3ds max 2013 will still be supported.
I look forward to any news and answers about it. Cheers

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: New VFB features

Sharpening tool/blurring tool based on Z-depth from render elements.

I already submitted this idea via e-mail but maybe I will write more about it.

1.
Typically, I use Z-depth in Photoshop to mask the sharpened image so that only the front is sharp.. but it would be great if corona could automatically take the z-depth from elements and use it in VFB for sharpening and blurring.
For animations, such automatic sharpening tool based on maps would speed up the whole process.

2. In some cases, I would like to exclude some objects or some materials from sharpening. For example in some resolutions grass gets messed up after sharpening. Also some straight lines become jagged and you can see the steps when they are sharpened.

So I would like to be able to have a sharpening tool that ignores objects based on selection or based on material. (Just like the rerender function).

Hope you like the ideas and find it useful. Cheers.
