This should be the new Corona reel... Just saying.. ;-)

Thanks for the replies, guys!
The string is actually quite simple. It's basically 2 identical renderable helixes (shape) rotated so the sit inside of each other. The knots are just bit more complicated: I drew the know using a curved spline and with the path follow modifier I conformed the straight string to the shape of the knot.
The material is ridiculously simple, I scanned a real 10 cm string and used it for the diffuse. Nothing else. ;-)
BTW, I also used Hair&Fur for the tiny hairs along the string. Nothing fancy.
Cheers!

Tks for the reply, romullus!
Well, I'm not a beta tester, I wanted to apply to, though. I sent an e-mail with all the info earlier, but still Ondra asks for the request code and that's what's missing in the latest build (or at least so it seems).

Hey, all!
Finally took the time to install the latest daily (been playing with 7.1 and 7.2) and it doesn't give me a request code for activation. It simply shows the full UI and gives me the Activate Licence button, but no code (at least I couldn't find one).
Should I install and older daily?
Cheers

Just did a quick test on a client's scene (not modeled by me). I converted the materials (some by hand) and lit it using an HDRI.
C&C are welcome.

This is my first "real" try on Corona Render, no converted materials nor anything. Done today, from scratch, all modeling in 3ds max (and the bronze material is based on a bronze I found on the great www.coronamaterials.com).
My main goal was to get a grip on Corona Materials and see if I could do what I normally do in VRay.
Render times were really fast, with the final image taking around 10 minutes in ~2000x3000 on my i7. Pretty neat, I think.
As usual, crits&comments are more than welcome!

But I'll keep it in mind next time and post these there. ;-)

Look, Tanakov, in case you did not read the first post I was not comparing both engines. I just wanted to see how the converter behaves in a somewhat complex scene (the original materials had some intrincated settings) and specially the displacement. Thought this was important to figure out for me since my workflow is 100% based on VRay and if I'm to consider making the jump to Corona I need to be sure everything works in case of need.
Never wanted to compare the two pics. If that was the case, I'd have posted both side by side (which I didn't, I just posted the VRay version because people asked me to). Not reading the original post and stoping by to criticize something that was already stated by the original poster is a waste of time and just plain stupid, imo.

Didn't post the V-Ray image, thought this was not the case since all you would see was a clean render and pretty much the same quality.

Had some spare time last friday and put together a small scene to test both V-Ray 3.0 and Corona.
The scene is no biggy, but I wanted to try a few things. For instance, I wanted to test the Material Converter with a couple donzen different materials. Found some discrepancies, some weirdness with anisotropy, but all fixable. The other thing I noticed was a small problem with the displacement: Corona seemed to simply ignore the mapping already applied to the object, which was kind of weird. On the bright side, I thought "what the heck" and replaced the displacement on the rug with real fur turned into geometry (21 million polys). Corona passed thru it like a breeze. So sweet!
Also did a few captures on different moments just to compare how noisy the pic is as time passes and found the scene to be completely noise-free after around 40 minutes (which is lightning fast compared to V-Ray, which took 2:30hrs to finish the same image).
Another thing: the same scene rendered MUCH slower when I had AO included as a render element. Anyone confirm that?

These tests are simply gorgeous, Bertrand! It's really nice to see what you do with your old scenes using a new renderer. The one with the chair and the cloth near the window, originally rendered with Octane, is probably my favourite. One question regarding it: in that case in specific, how did Corona stack against Octane?
Cheers!

Really nice! Just think the flare would be a lot stronger, since its so directly seen. ;-)
