Chaos Corona 13 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

[shortcirkuit]

definitely an improvement with the latest HOTFIX - well done team :)  More of that please :)

Thought - seeing as though the only thing that is still bad and i dont think its all corona related - is the material editor.  It would be great if corona had its very own material editor, outside of autodesk with the hope that the UI is completely in the hands of the Corona team.  the material editor in Max has forever been laggy.  I did write a post on this with a supporting video.

That would be the old Qt story... vote for it here:

I have a feeling that with every single release material editor is getting slower and slower. Going to cast my vote on Qt rewrite request, although i doubt if that will change anything :/

Glad to hear that!

It is definitely going to bring improvement. It will be even more visible with long sessions of 3ds Max (current implementation tends to get slower the more it is used in a session, while VRayMtl, which is Qt based, is snappy no matter when).

Does that mean you are working on it? That would be finally a good reason to upgrade for me.

Haha it certainly sounds like it, that's what I read into Arams response anyway

[Aram Avetisyan]

If there are updates on it, users will sure be notified about it :)

Oh, i have no doubts that Qt rewrite would significantly improve responsiveness. What i wanted to say, is that i don't think that users' voting have big impact on your decision wether to implement certain feature or not.

Voting in AHA currently has the biggest possible impact from user side for a feature request.

Hey Corona Devs - whats going on with new development?  usually theres heaps of activity in the road map - just checking that this is still the active link?

I saw that sketchup/vray had a release update (VFB upgrades) - i assume thats coming soon?

[zaar]

Yeah, the pool of big ideas seem to have thinned out. My hope is that the devs are so busy working on gaussian splats that they don't have time to update the trello :D

Looking back in the trello one can see that a whole lot of amazing work has been done over the years! We hope to see Corona lead and evolve the same way in the future. But right now I have a feeling of lack of momentum that makes me a bit worried.

[CharlyRT]

I was wondering when could we have a way to turn off/on denoiser IR directly from VFB, right now it doesnt work, it only works with Production rendering.

[zaar]

You can, (unless there’s something changed in 13) under the performance tab. Denoising for IR is a separate setting from production rendering.

Ohh I forgot to mention that its needed in VFB

Don´t forget: As different news sources told in the beginning of the year, Ondra joined another "project" - so that surely had an effect.

But i have full trust in the actual team.
