[Max] I need help! / Lighting Issue - Please Help

« on: 2023-05-24, 21:39:32 »

Hello all,

Im working with Corona 9 in 3ds max 2020 and Im getting these little white dots all over my scene.
Please refer to the attached image and see what Im dealing with.

I have my progressive render pass limit set to 25 and my sampling balance (GI vs AA balance) set to 50, so I should be getting a good result.
The main culprit is the pool lights which are IES corona lights. When I turn these off in my light mix, almost all the little white dots are removed.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get rid of these little white dots, please let me know, as I like the overall lighting, but the white dots are killing the image.

Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you for your advice.
However, my translucency fraction slider is greyed out so I cant access it. Please let me know how to activate it.

Hello all,

Can anyone suggest a way to make the underside of leaves in my scene brighter?
The top side of the leaves are fine, but the underside is just too dark. I usually fix this by brightening up the darker underside areas
in post production, but it would be great to solve it directly in 3ds max Corana 9. Is there a double sided texture I can apply?
So that I can apply a corona colour correction to the top side of the leaves and a separate (brighter) corona colour correction to the underside?

Any thoughts would be very much appreciate.

Thank you.

No definitely not.
I actually originally built this house and entire scene in 3ds max using Vray and never had this problem.
It wasnt until I did the Corona converter that this bright white line showed up.
Its very strange.

Hi all,

Im new to Corona but am loving it so far.
Iver recently started using Corona 5 with 3ds max 2020 and with the house I built, there is a very strange bright white line just under the roof gutter.
Ive built this kind of roof 1000 times in previous renders and its never been an issue.
This area circled in red should be black and totally in shade.
Please refer to the image below. Any suggestions please?

Thank
