Thank you for your message!
Any clue on how can I use the override only in that material? I used to override the entire scene with blacks so I can render region only the glasses but what you are suggesting would be awesome.

[Max] I need help! / HDRI horizon reflections
« on: 2025-01-28, 23:22:44 »
Hello guys,
When rendering animations with glass, one challenge I often face is avoiding the horizon line of the HDRI showing up in the glass reflections, especially when I plan to replace the background with a backplate in post-production. I save the shots in png with alpha channel.
Sometimes, I render the animation twice (once with glass and once without) and then mix the results in post. While this works, it’s a bit of a hassle. Other times, I place a box behind the glass to block the HDRI reflections, but I’m not a big fan of this method either because it gives me less control over the color and overall look of the backplate.
What techniques or workflows do you use to tackle this issue?
I’d love to hear your tips.

Same here, this is pretty annoying. Wired mouse. Not Photoshop open, just 3ds max 2024 + Corona latest version.

Hi, beautiful work! Lighting looks awesome! very soft and calm.
Can you share how did you make the curtain material?
Much appreciated
:)

I discovered this some months ago.

This is the only good quality displacements that I found but apparently they are not producing the desired effects so I have not tried them yet.

Thank you all for your replies :)
I have been trying lots of things recently so I think I will end up contacting the Chaos Support I believe.

Hello all,
I have been using Phoenix FD Ocean texture plugged on a CoronaDisplacementMod to achieve nice water caustics, not as good as the ones in the recent spaces post about caustics but a pretty good ones :>
I would like to try achieving different things such as the effect of an underwater jets like the picture attached. Any clue about how to make it? I guess it would be a displacement map but I am a little bit lost about it. I guess ripple modifier is not an option because of its perfection, nor simulating the pool water with Chaos Phoenix.
Thanks!

[Max] I need help! / corona proxies performance
« on: 2021-11-10, 15:33:17 »
Hello All,
I am dealing with an animation project where I have lots of furniture and animated vegetation.
In order to avoid long parsing times and to get the best performance, is it better to convert all the heavy furniture to proxy?
As seen in other topics of this forum, unticking the "enable animation" and "keep loaded in Ram" improve the performance but I am not sure if having lots of proxies can ruin the Ram performance, hence the parsing and rendering times would be longer aswell.
Still using Corona 6.2 with 3dsmax 2020 because this project was started in this version and tried the version 7.0 and got many materials destroyed with the new features, so I had to downgrade.
Thanks.

Nice stucco material.
Did you use HDRI lighting? or CSun.
Thanks!

Nice lighting and composition. You have made a great job on that caustics, would you mind tell us a little bit more about those caustics? They look sick! :)

[Max] I need help! / Re: Water caustics issue
« on: 2020-05-08, 10:41:48 »What do you mean by saying that you get caustics in VFB, but no caustics in render? Do you mean when you save the picture, it comes different from what you see in VFB?
Interactive rendering, sorry, edited already.

« on: 2020-05-08, 10:03:04 »
Hi everyone,
For some reason I get cool caustics in the interactive rendering but when I render the scene I can barely see any caustic coming from my pool.
I am using corona 4, caustics solver, and path tracing as a secondary solver. Water material has caustics enabled.
The water is a turbosmoothed plane + displacement mod with the native 3dsmax noise.
Thanks
