which version of corona and 3ds max you used in this scene? did you change versions or color management settings in your 3ds max?I use 3ds max 2025 and Corona 12. I think the problem started after I updated to these versions.
Could be many things, like wrong opacity settings, mapping issues, or anything else. Did you try to render a close-up view and see how the leaves looks when they occupy significant portion of the rendered image?Thanks. I added another close render of the tree.
Hi,
Simply try to match the handles to their correct axis lines and if your reference object is going out of the frame then consider zooming out the camera or moving the object so it is in front of the camera. It is normal for the objects on the viewport to move when you change the axis handles. It takes a bit of trial-error and practise to perfectly nail the camera match to your Images.
Hi,Thank you for your suggestions. I will keep these in mind for my next project.
The obvious first thing to improve, is the texture repetition of the facade. You can use CoronaUVWRandomizer (CoronaMappingRandomizer) map to achieve this randomization. The full how-to article is here.
Beside that, keep in mind that eve if the materials are perfectly set up, the lighting is great, the render can still come out not so good, as a very important aspect of the perceived render quality is the composition of the frame. Think about it as if it is a real project (and a real photo). How would the front yard of the house look like? Does there need to be a walkway or not? And other aspects as well. The best thing here is to observe and check many many references (both real photos and renders of others) and keep improving.
From the quick things you can do is to place a direct light (Sun) comping from top right - this will give a contrast to the facade and the whole architecture of the house and make it more dynamic and interesting. Then you can work on the materials and texture. Then you can add some trees/shrubs in the foreground and make the composition more interesting.
Hope this helps.
If the rest of the map is flat this could be just wrong gamma - make sure your displacement/bump is loaded with 1.0 gamma, not automatic (or 2.2).Looks like the material was the problem. It was fixed when I turned off the bump map. Thank you for your suggestion.
Do you use displacement on the model or its material? Does the model have turbosmooth modifier which may have different settings for viewport and for render? More info please.The model was an editable poly with no modifier. Looks like the material was the problem. It was fixed when I turned off the bump map. Thank you for your suggestion.
I would highly recommend to learn basics of UV unwrapping if you want to avoid similar issues in the future. Here's short and quite informative tutorial on youtube. You can see UV seams welding almost at the very beginning of the video.I appreciate your help. Thank you!
It's not quite clear if you want to say that welding UV seam didn't help, or that you didn't manage to figure out how to actually weld it. Can you clarify this?I couldn't manage to figure out how to weld it.
Hi, do you need some further help here or can you confirm that the issue is resolved now?I couldn't get to the actual problem but detaching the polygons solved it somehow, fortunately.
Most likely your UVs have seam here, that's why the texture is not aligned properly. Try to weld the seam - this should fix the issue.Thanks for your suggestion. I couldn't get it right though. However, detaching the upper polygons solved the problem.
