[Max] General Discussion / Effectiveness of Corona out-of-core textures
« Last post by mase on 2025-06-30, 10:01:42 »
So this might be answered somewhere else but I always wondered whether Corona out-of-core textures works the same as manually resized textures, in terms of RAM performance? Is there any benefit to resizing textures in your scene to smaller resolution, or does this Corona option make it useless (or at least the difference is so marginal that it's simply not recommended)? Really curious whether someone has tested it out.

Not sure why it's not detecting the other 3ds Max versions for you. I am not aware of similar reports. Perhaps reinstalling 3ds Max could help, but I understand this is not the preferred solution...

I do! Essential that this works

Gallery / The Last Shelter

The Last Shelter.
 Inspired by the Georgian film Mother of a Locality by Goderdzi Chokheli, this project channels poetic solitude and cultural memory into architectural form. The Last Shelter explores how architecture can breathe life back into forgotten places. The film’s main character protects the village from disappearance — a metaphor that, in this project, positions architecture as a source of life for its surroundings. Architecture becomes a guardian of the past. It stands alone, yet not empty. It becomes the last place where someone might still arrive, still remember, still belong. Even when the village fades, this structure remains — like a gravestone, a monument, and a home all at once.

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Are you still using the old VFB?
« Last post by HannesN on 2025-06-29, 15:24:49 »
I try the new VFB every once and a while, but keep changing back to the old VFB after a short period. My biggest problem are the new icons. For me, they are not self explanatory enough, and i'm using the tooltips all the time. That interrupts my workflow -> going back to what i know.

I really like the Vray VFB. The colored icons work really well and they use the more space of the UI. There is no need, to make it extra clean.

Hi,

There is no focal length parameter on the Corona Camera tag, the setting is only driven by the C4D camera.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: CoronaSky Volume Effect problem in Corona 13
« Last post by fobus on 2025-06-29, 07:07:57 »
when in pre 12.2 it was possible to use Volume effect with any HDRi freely.
What if volume effect is not wanted for the HDRI?

It was no problem to set it to zero value then. So we use this "bug" in all our scenes to enhance aerial perspective and all scenes now unusable in C13. It's unfortunate. No way to use it as "legacy" mode?

Porting and API / Corona Renderer Support for Houdini (USD/LOPs)
« Last post by Rauge on 2025-06-29, 05:03:24 »
Hi all

Is there any chance that Chaos could develop a plugin version of Corona for Houdini, specifically in the LOPs/USD context?

It would be an absolute dream to have this incredibly easy-to-use and fast CPU renderer available in Houdini. I genuinely believe that, from a financial standpoint, it would be a highly profitable move. I'm sure there are many users who would gladly purchase a license. At the moment, there's no real alternative, Karma is extremely slow, and Renderman is also painfully slow, to the point of being practically unusable.

Years ago, I had an amazing experience using Corona with 3ds Max, and I feel that Chaos, as a company, is missing out on significant untapped potential, both financially and in terms of brand recognition.

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more posts like this. What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading, cheers!

[C4D] I need help! / Intel AI Denoiser
« Last post by steppes on 2025-06-29, 00:21:16 »
Hi all!

I  playing around with Intel AI Denoiser, but only the beauty channel will be Denoiser. All the other Multipass channels are ignored.

Is this a bug or do I miss something?

Thanks
