Is there any tutorial about Corona materials or something like 'https://corona-renderer.com/doc/'  explaining each setting?
I have found one but google translator doesn't translate russian that well for me to understand it.
If anyone could point me to something of sorts i would be grateful.

Try pointing your mouse at various material settings. You will get a short pop-up information about it. What specific settings do you mean? Most Corona material's parameters are pretty obvious and materials are usually easy to make.

I did, however i don't know if it just my 3dsmax but when i hover it with the cursor the text disappears short after, i can barely read 2 lines and it vanishes and i have to get the cursor out of the way, wait and put it back on. A bit annoying and hard to read. I use the online version of 'http://corona-renderer.com/doc/' and not directly from 3dsmax, it is really handy, i love it.

I know it's easy... however i am new to 3d, just started to learn the basics. I am now trying to learn about textures and materials, what are normals and displacement maps etc. I still have a long way. I started with vray as they have a huge documentation online and several tutorials made by users but sometimes i would lose my mind on why i couldn't render a simple image and digged the net for hours on what was the problem, but Corona feels more natural, easier, more intuitive. So i decided to learn from it instead being overwhelmed by other render engines.

So.. that's why i asked if there some other help files online, i'm still on that phase were you write everything you find so i don't forget and every little tutorial or help file i can find is awesome. :)
