[Archive] Chaos Corona for ARCHICAD / Re: Suspension of Corona Renderer for ARCHICAD development

« on: 2025-09-14, 09:45:57 »

Приветствую вас! Когда будет CORONA для Архикад 28.Вообше будетли она.

First of all please communicate in english here in the forum and second - the answer to your question was given many times over, in fact it's right in Tom's message above yours:

Sorry no - there are still no plans (and likely never will be) to develop Corona for anything other than the currently supported 3ds Max and Cinema 4D

I can confirm that slate editor window opens where it was closed last time. Maybe try to delete 3dsmax.ini file if it doesn't work for you (make sure to save a copy first).

As a rule of thumb - if you don't know which colour management option to chose, stick with the gamma workflow (legacy).

Can you clarify what you mean by saying that interactive is very slow? Is it ray/s is much lower compared to production render, or is it your computer is getting unresponsive/slow when IR is running, or maybe something else?

There's an accurate sampling option in render setup>scene>scene environment. Try to enable it and see if it helps. AFAIK it was introduced to help with issues like yours.

I think i've read somewhere in the forum that this has to do with colour management settings in 3ds Max. Can't recall the solution unfortunately, cause it's irrelevant to me - i'm working in gamma 2.2 (legacy) and don't have plans to switch in the foreseeable future.

Damn, that's amazing! And pretty helpful.

A quick search gave me limited help - any idea where I might be able to find good tutorials on how best to use this feature?

Parameter wiring is pretty straightforward thing in 3ds Max and pretty useful too. It's also easy to learn, i think i've read Max help on it, did a couple practice wirings and that's it. You probably can find some tutorials on YT if you want more streamlined experience. One evening should be plenty enough to learn it.

Does it work in reverse? So for instance; I have a slider; I change it and the geometry z scale changes). But if I manually change the z-scale of the same object, the slider responds?

Yes, it can work in one way, or another, or in both, you have an option to set up parameters relation to each other in parameters wiring window.

Another option is to use parameter wiring. I linked the seed ta a custom slider in my example, but you can wire it to almost anything in Max - height of a cube primitive, movement of teapot, etc. Any parameters that has numeric values can be "wired" together. Don't know how robust this method is, e.g. if you'll make significant changes in your material, the wiring might brake, but it takes only few seconds to rewire everything again.

I would try Light material with cast light turned off, at least that's what i do when i need evenly lit non-shaded material in the scene.

In case the texture is not square, adjust tiling in bitmap accordingly, i.e. if texture is 2048 x 1024 set the U tiling to 1 and V tiling to 2. Scale in triplanar should be set of the longer side then, because its tiling is 1. Hope that makes sense.
