[Max] I need help! / Re: Corona doesn't render anymore - found the reason

« on: 2020-03-05, 10:53:37 »

Hi,
I found the reason - you wouldn't get on that idea :)
In the background was Maya still silently running with Vray-IPR on.
As soon as I switched it off, Corona worked again.

Cheers
(& thanks for your replies..)

Yes, both scenes rendered before properly as they are.
The scene from yesterday was already a double-check.

« on: 2020-03-04, 20:06:35 »

Hello,
after some trouble with a file and a crash of 3dsMax, Corona isn't rendering anything at all and needs several minutes to stop
I opened also another file from yesterday to check...

I guess something in the preferences has been destroyed.
What is recommended to solve this?
Install again over it? or deinstall first? Or are there preferences to delete?

Thanks again

Hi,
I was converting a scene from Vray.

1.)
The Vray-Area Lights are now white planes with a multi/subobject-Material  (maybe from a texture before).
I can not set them on invisible in the viewport (they have been placed in front of the windows). I tried in the RMB-menu in the Properties,
but there is Display Properties > "See-Through" greyed out.
(attached screenshot)
Is there a guide or tutorial on this maybe?

2.)
I found out, I have to activate them manually. Is that right?

3.) Question: LightPortal: Is it recommended to use it in Corona for windows?

4.) Is there something like a light lister?

Thanks again!

[Max] I need help! / Re: Orbit Camera - how prevent tumbling (only rotation around up-axis)?

I am looking only for same behaviour like a Vray Camera.
But strangely in another sene today it is working... I did not find out what was different yesterday, when it always tumbled.
I will hopefully find out :)

[Max] I need help! / Re: Corona - Vray Exchange - is it non-destructive?

Converting is easy in both directions:
Corona to Vray: Assign the vray renderer and in the viewport Rightbutton click > Vray Scene Converter. That's it.

But there is always a bit trouble with Area lights (or light planes) in both directions. They need to be set on "invisible for camera"

- When I convert my VrayScene to Corona, the area lights became white planes.
I did not understand how to handle right now...

[Max] I need help! / IPR render looks denoised (but it is not denoised) - which is the reason ?

« on: 2020-02-28, 16:38:20 »

Hello,

a) I wonder, why my IPR render looks very denoised (no grain, no details visible)
Is there another hidden setting?
I did not apply denoising to lights and I did not activate "fast denoise preview during render".

When I toggle a light I can see the sharp grain just for a second then it is blurred again.

b) When I hit render (saving file as tiff) it is showing question marks at "remaining time".
(it's a interior scene)
Is that typical? And how can I estimate the time needed?

(attached a screenshot)

Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Corona - Vray Exchange - is it non-destructive?

« on: 2020-02-28, 15:54:00 »

Hello,

currrently I am testing the exchange between Corona and Vray.
I had converted a VrayScene to Corona.
And I read I can convert a Corona Scene back to Vray.
Is that conversion non-destructive or does it change basicly the scene each time, that I want get the same results anymore?
(e.g. when I would do it several times)

Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Orbit Camera - how prevent tumbling (only rotation around up-axis)?

« on: 2020-02-28, 15:26:17 »

Hello,
I am used to Vray (3dsMax) and testing Corona:

I have problems with orbiting the camera, it should not rotate on all axes.
Is there a hotkey or another orbit tool?

Thanks
