This is about an hour drive from where I live, and I have to say it's an astonishing result!
If you ever need some specific reference material from this area, feel free to shoot me a request ;)

Work in Progress/Tests / Colourful fractal render

I've been experimenting with the fractal capabilities of Corona now and then. Here's one of my favourite results:

Did you try to change enviro sampler and/or random sampler in dev/debug settings?

Changing the enviro sampler appears to work. Thanks!
However, I assume it would be nice to get this to work in the default "new improved" sampler too.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Bands of noise in render when using "custom texture" DOF

« on: 2018-03-27, 20:08:10 »

This seems to have been the case for a long time, and should apply to all versions of Corona, even the latest ones with the improved DoF features.

Image-based DOF (1024 samples):

Circle DOF (1024 samples):


These bands of noise in the first image are really tough to deal with, and seem to never go away no matter how long you render.
The even noise in the second image is of course something to be expected, and is no problem to deal with.

Even when pushed to enormous amounts of samples, the bands stay clearly visible:

[Max] I need help! / Re: I just can't get vector motion blur to work right (RSMB, Blackmagic Fusion)

Alright, here's some more details to explain what I'm trying to do here
I'm using Corona 1.7 (oct 2017 build) with 3DS Max 2018.

1 - I made a quick and simple animation with sporadic movement by making some teapots fall down on eachother


2 - I enable the vector blur pass, and run with default settings (apart from turning off filtering)


3 - I render the vector blur pass


4 - I export as 16bit .tiff w/ transparacy, and open in After Effects where I apply the RSMB Pro Vectors effect, and the resulting blur looks like this:


I expect the blur to somewhat match what the 3D blur would output, but this is not working correctly for me.
It would be nice if someone would share some insight in how to get it to work with RSMB, if possible. I don't really understand exactly how this works.

I get the feeling that I'm just not competent enough to figure it out, rather than it being flat out broken and worthy of a bug report.

I've been struggling for many months to get motion vectors working, and I just never seem to be able to.
No matter what settings I choose, no matter which tutorials I watch, and no matter how many forum posts I read - vector blur remains completely impossible to use.
To be more precise, the blur always goes in the wrong direction. Usually it's diagonal, regardless of whether or not the subject is moving.
Yes, there's a lot of writeups and videos on people having similar problems, but NONE of the supposed fixes have worked.
Even Coronas official YouTube channel has a video on how to use it with Blackmagic Fusion, aaaand surprise surprise, it doesn't work. I've tried everything I've come across.

I really want to be able to use vector motion blur via RSMB in After Effects with some of my projects. If it's just straight up impossible in RSMB for whatever reason, I can also resort to using Blackmagic Fusion.
Can someone explain what the workflow is to achieve... any sort of working result at all?
