[Max] I need help! / Re: CORONA Render identity

« Last post by Avi on Yesterday at 18:33:40 »

I am using Corona 13 HF 1 and I tried running 3ds Max as ADMIN but I am unable to reproduce this same thing on my end. Can you help me with the steps so I can try to find out more about it? Also which version of 3ds Max you are using?

You can use python to get this information. Please find a simple script attached and a video showing how you can get the info out of a CXR+Conf file.

I hope this is what you were looking for. You will need to install python in your system to be able to run the script. If I mis understood you, let me know, I will try to get more info from our devs for you.

The solution i gave before will not work out of the box. I will try to find more about from our devs and update you.

Meanwhile, you can add your feature request here: https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ideas

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Chaos Cloud for Corona

« Last post by matus.nedecky on Yesterday at 14:19:46 »

Honestly - when we were switching form Rhino and V-Ray to corona, we anticipated to keep using Cloud - as this was something we were keen on. What a surprise it was to find out it's not working with Corona :/ Last 3 months we spent on animations and I have to say Rebus is totally useless, we experienced numerous crashes and we got no result from Rebus at all. Cloud is something that should naturally be available for all Chaos products :(

You're welcome! I had to ask the devs, so it was Ales that let me know how to exceed regular color levels in C4D with this little trick :) So I was in the dark about it til now too lol!

Upscayl is the one I use. It's free with a couple of different algorithms.

Okay, I see. I have been upscaling from 4K to 8K, and depending on the image I think it can look okay in most cases.

There's a free trial on the website, so I would recommend trying it out to see if it can work for you. :)

[Max] I need help! / Is there a way outside of the CIE to read lightmix layer data?

« Last post by Jpjapers on Yesterday at 12:34:28 »

Im looking to write a photoshop script to use when bringing EXR(CXR) into photoshop to automate the setup of lightmix layers to match what we see in the CIE. This is so that people downstream in the pipeline are able to just open the exr and have it match what we were seeing by running the script. I want to be able to read the lightmix layer data such as intensity, tint and state. I know this is contained within the cxr files but im not sure how.
This is more a 'for the devs' question but are there any tools out there that can read this data from the file?

I thought it could be done just using a plain old conf file but they dont contain the layer name and when importing the exr into photoshop the layers revert to alphabetical order instead of the order from the lightmix panel.

This is perfect, thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Didn't know you can go beyond 100% with color mix, I've used this trick with c4d materials but couldn't figure it out with corona.
