Hi there, here is a commercial project I have been working on for some time. It was originally made using MR, but as my customer wanted changes in the pictures, and I in the meantime had seen all the obvious benefits in using Corona, I chose to convert it all to Corona.
It had some challenges changing to Corona, first of all the big work in changing all the materials from MR - Deadclown's Material Converter helped me a long way, but of course I had to go and check and adjust the materials to my liking.
Next challange was the administration of the project. I had widely used Xref scenes, which is not supported in A5, and even taken the risk of using containers, which I will Never come to like - and probably never use again, as I feel I loose the control of the scene. The town house street is made of 4 different house layouts, which is then repeated. They were originally made of containers, but using Corona I chose to convert each house to one clump of mesh and convert it to a Corona Proxy. It turned out to be a good solution as it used less memory than the container solution. Downside was that editing the house components afterwards was a bit more cumbersome. In the end the street was made of corona proxies scattered as segments in IToo RailClone - most vegetation and repetitive street probs were scattered using ForestPro.
I must say that I am so impressed by Corona. I have used it in commercial projects since December - and I intend to go on with that without any hesitation despite the fact that it is "only" an alpha. Ondra, you literally do magic and I can't wait till A6, - and the coming betas - and the final R1 will be released. Keep up the good pace and you will have me as a loyal user and customer all the way.
