Hi may i ask how do you create subtle chromatic abberation ? It is inside corona VFB or in pot processing software ? Thanks

Mip-mapping is conditional, render at high-res framebuffer and it's back to full footprint. But I am definitely in support of it. Automated mip-mapping behind the scene, but with control to still allow user-control to modify the amount/level) would be of course fantastic. Most of my machines are 128GB ram and they're not enough... but that's also because 3dsMax and Corona load all assets twice effectively. Not much to do there.
Out-of-Core is just glorified swapping.

But I am like.. not arguing these features don't exist, but they're not features I mentioned. Here is thing A which is maybe similar to feature B. Well, ok.

Hi Juraj, can we trick it so that 3DS Max and Corona don't load assets twice effectively by creating an asset proxy and creating a display as wirebox? does this help reduce RAM usage during the rendering process? Thank you very much

Obviously i can't remember what exactly i did 5 years ago, but i think i went through my textures and made sure that all the textures that don't need extended bit depth, would be saved in 8 bits per channel and all the greyscale textures would be saved as single channel images. If that still doesn't solve low RAM issue, then the other most effective way to lower RAM consumption is to reduce texture resolution, just be aware that this potentially can come at the cost of lower final image quality. On the other hand, with modern Corona you may not need any of this, because it evolved since and introduced some memory saving features, like out of core textures.

Thank you for your reply, actually I'm still just studying Corona Renderer through various forums and haven't purchased it yet

Thanks Ryuu, your answers helped me great deal! I'm working on a simple scene, but Corona was throwing low memory warnings even at lowest resolution renderings. I did few optimizations to some unnecessary heavy assets and now i can render at 4K without problems. That is quite an achievement for my 16 GB RAM! :]

Hi Romullus, can you please describe steps to do the few optimizations you mention here ? Thank you
