Antanas, maybe stupid question from my side, but how do you save with correct gamma from classic framebuffer (with VFB+) ? No matter what I do I end up with double-gamma .exr ....

Non-linear files (jpeg, tiff) work, simply by speccing them as 2.2 override (because internally 3dsMax decided the internal gamma for output is 2.2, no longer is this value exposed, and automatic gets it right only inside Corona framebuffer). This changes randomly based on my old scenes, maybe I should rewrite it finally in ini to stay 1.0 dammit. Because 3dsMax just doesn't want to remember it...

But why doesn't override gamma work ? It doesn't matter what I write there, it will save with 2.2 (or whatever is internal based on the current scene). only. wtf

I have settings like this and VBF+ saves files with correct gamma

lol I didn't even looked at those preferences :- D thank you Bormax, that should be it.

Wow! there has been some great back and forth feedback on this thread with some additional solutions while we wait for Corona to hopefully add these items in the next upgrade. Please Corona! You have a really nice product currently. I like the results I'm getting with it!

I just have to say thanks to Juraj for bringing up the VFB+ plug-in. So cheap and so great! Having filmic tonemapping and curves, exposure etc.. with region rendering at one place is priceless.... (I know, some great things like adaptivity and region rendering will be coming to 1.4 but still... amazing plug-in) It feels weird now that I haven't heard about vfb+ before...

maybe Render Legion S.R.O should 'acquire' VFB+ for millions of euros and add the technology to their own product?

like i said, i did try it but wasn't completely comfortable with the UI. Maybe I should persevere? Are you still using it Juraj?

[Juraj]

I do, quite satisfied so far. Like the UI too, I dislike the clunkiness and size of Corona's framebuffer, if I keep the right side panel open, it eats up 10 perc. of my monitor and fucks up my view ratio, I don't like zooming out of image, 2560px is already too little. If I close it, I loose all options. The Max framebuffer has lot of unneccesary stuff on other hand, but the VFB+ addon purely is very clean.

To anyone else using it right now, does it work with Distributed rendering ? (I have no idea if DR needs Corona framebuffer or not).

[...] does it work with Distributed rendering ? (I have no idea if DR needs Corona framebuffer or not).

Yes it works. You can even DR into standard Max FB - makes no difference.

Good  Luck!

I'd be happy to hear about your reservations.

[peterguthrie]

going to give it another go but I found the UI a bit messy and slow. Colour temp in kelvin would be nice. saving setting per camera sounds nice but not quite sure how it works

If corona added vignetting in the corona camera mod and curves to their frame buffer that would do me. (and region rendering!)

[Juraj]

Colour temp in kelvin would be nice

Ah true to this. It has to be both as Kelvin adjustment is something I use far more often to make minor color movements in the whole image, instead of full counter white balance.

Just tried going to http://www.monotoneminimal.com/ I see nothing but white space. Anyone else experiencing this?

I can confirm this (firefox). Apparently the site is down for a moment. Maybe try again later.

BTW, be careful with first post in the forum containing full of links - i almost confused you with spambot and was about to mark you for a ban ;]

[Ondra]

yeah, me too :D I clicked the link and then I was like "fuck did I just click a spam link?!" :D

[Rotem]

Have I mentioned how much I love Wordpress? :(

Thanks for letting me know, I'll work on fixing it ASAP.

[Rotem]

It's back up now.
Thanks again.
