You know what would be awesome? Once the Corona AI Enhancer is fully polished, it would support image sequences too, so we could enhance people in animations as well.

It would be great if, in the future, we could select a specific area in the generated image and write a prompt to correct any mistakes the AI made — so we could fix issues more easily and directly.

I know that in the promotional video the little girl’s face is enhanced correctly with the AI Enhancer, and it looks great. But for some reason, I haven’t been able to achieve the same result in any of my tests. No matter what I try, the children's faces always change to look like adults.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Issue with Corona AI Enhancer: Children’s Faces Turn into Adults

« on: 2025-06-18, 06:16:32 »

Hi, I’ve been testing the new Corona AI Enhancer and overall I’m really impressed — it works very well on adults and improves realism significantly.

However, I’ve noticed a consistent issue: in every render that includes children, the AI Enhancer modifies their faces and turns them into adult-looking faces. I’ve tried several tests with different scenes and lighting, but the result is always the same — the children’s facial features are changed to resemble adults, sometimes even losing their original expression.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known limitation? I’d love to keep using the tool, but this makes it hard to apply to scenes that include families or kids.

Thanks in advance,
Marcello

Today, some renders I worked on (with a few tweaks) were featured in a local architecture magazine, both printed and online, along with an article I wrote sharing tips for interior renders.

I’ve actually made another version without the Evermotion´s cat, but the original images are very heavy to upload. I’ll keep working on it and trying to improve my skills — thanks a lot for the feedback! :)

Yes, I know that Evermotion cat didn’t turn out great — I tried fixing it with AI but couldn’t get good results… Actually, the original renders are really clean and sharp, I rendered them with around 2–3% noise (can’t remember exactly), but then I tried adding noise in post to make them feel more photographic, like the kind you get with high ISO settings, just to avoid that overly perfect CGI look. But yeah, it didn’t work out as planned — you're right, it does look more like CGI noise than real photographic grain. I’ll definitely try a different approach next time. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Gallery / Bedroom Lighting – Day & Night Mood

« on: 2025-05-23, 20:30:22 »

This is a practice scene I worked on — a simple bedroom setup. I intentionally kept the scene minimal to focus entirely on achieving the best possible lighting and realism, really pushing my skills to the limit.

I used 3ds Max for the 3D modeling and Corona for the rendering, then moved to Photoshop and Nik Color Efex for post-production. I also created an animation in After Effects using LightMix passes, and finalized the video in Premiere.

For the natural daylight, I used an HDRI that I modified to achieve the desired look. For the nighttime scene, I adjusted a Corona Sun to mimic the cool tone of full moonlight.

Hey Tom I just logged into the forum to request this for Corona, and I see gaussians and luminaires are already being discussed 😄 That’s great to hear! Really looking forward to seeing these features implemented. Thanks for always listening to the community!

Just updated Chaos Cosmos for Corona 12 and some materials are now incorrectly configured in their mapping type!!
It´s not a very serious issue, but I think it is worth reporting it so that it can be corrected.

[Max] Feature Requests / a full weather system... a sky with more features

« on: 2022-12-14, 14:51:13 »

Please add something to be able to detect overexposed areas like in V-Ray, maybe also an autoexposure and autowhite balance too and finally I like the sky can have stars, moon... a full weather system... a sky with more features like this https://www.physicaladdons.com/psa/?v=711&fbclid=IwAR1s_HeXXmcn22esO_DLFSCpp-fJZCegGb9NBkNFXXKfGWpu7ZnAyVRYeQ4/ or https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ultra-dynamic-sky
