Today we have finally updated our standalone benchmark. Download it and share your results now! Compared to the last benchmark we have updated the rendering core, made the scene more challenging, and added easy verification and sharing of render times. All times you choose to publish are displayed in a table here. This comes handy especially when you are selecting a new hardware to run Corona.
From the technical standpoint, the most interesting thing is that the benchmark showcases the possibilities of our new standalone format, which is now much more powerful than ever before. It supports procedural maps, shader networks, and the compressed Corona proxy format for geometry. We are hoping the standalone application will become a viable alternative for distributed rendering some day.
You can try it yourself today if you are feeling lucky. Some maps are still not supported, but we are working on that. I would like to thank Robin, who was the primary developer of the benchmark application. Frood Active Users Posts: Good Luck. Never underestimate the power of a well placed level one spell.
Flavius Active Users Posts: Hi all, I hope I don't make a fool of myself but If I turn them off, they don't show in the master. I'm pretty sure I am overlooking something. Quote from: Ondra on , How to report issues for Max Positive values of Center Bias expand the bokeh into rings, while negative values compress the bokeh highlights.
Positive values of Vignetting give a harder edge to the Bokeh toward the outside of the image, while negative values create a harder edge to the Bokeh highlights toward the center of the image:. Anisotropy affects the aspect ratio of the bokeh effect, with values above 0 stretching it horizontally, and below 0 stretching it vertically:.
In the short videos below, you can see the parameters being animated to watch how they affect the result:. As well as being added to the Corona Camera, Corona Renderer now works with these parameters from the native 3ds Max Physical Camera too. When checked, the shape of the texture map may let in more or less light than the default circular aperture. When unchecked, exposure is unaffected by the custom map the same as in earlier versions of Corona Renderer.
Bladed bokeh now has the same area as the circular bokeh In earlier versions of Corona Renderer, the Bladed bokeh option had a different area than the default Circular bokeh, and this has been corrected. Also, the rotation of Bladed bokeh is now consistent, independent of the camera view. We have updated the Material Library, mostly based on your feedback regarding tiling. Here is the changelog:. In the scene above with over 14,, polys, the results were as follows:.
Of course, results can vary based on different scenes, objects, and motion blur types. Previously, adaptivity could over-sample darker areas, at the expense of processing lighter areas of the image. Adaptivity has been improved to avoid this, so that lighter areas of the image now show less noise, which results in faster rendering:.
The denoiser is now more intelligent when it comes to denoising bump maps, resulting in sharper and clearer results which preserves detail where bump maps are used:. If you need to use these two functions at the same time as formerly with the Output map , it is also possible to use both of the maps ColorCorrect plugged into TonemapControl to both adjust the appearance of the texture and exclude it from the VFB post-processing.
Material override options are now in a pop-up dialog, accessible from the Scene tab of the Render Setup window. The light is no longer reparsed whenever geometry changes. Only changes in geometry with portal material will trigger the reparsing. Providing support and compatibility for older versions of 3ds Max takes extra development time and manpower.
Due to the very small number of users still using this version of 3ds Max, and in order to move forward with all the new features, functionality and software that we have planned as quickly as possible, we are discontinuing support for 3ds Max Corona is still provided for these versions of Max, but due to the nature of 3ds Max licensing, we do not have access to these versions for testing.
This means these versions are not officially supported as we cannot guarantee that they will work correctly, nor can we guarantee any bug fixes for those versions unless the problem also happens in the newer versions. This change will allow the vast majority of our users to benefit from faster development and build times, and a smaller size for the installer.
We apologize to those who are affected — the Legacy option remains in place for all versions up to and including 1. When running the installer on a legacy CPU, it will show which items can be installed typically, just the Licensing Server. Below is an overview of some of the more major bugs we resolved this time around — the completionists among you can check out the full list of bug fixes! Some of what we have been working on was unveiled at our KeyNote speech at Total Chaos 18 , including intelligent caustics, improved light sampling, possible integration with ArchiCAD and more — you can watch the full presentation below:.
Another thing to look forward to is that V-Ray will be getting the ability to render CoronaMtls, as the other half of increased compatibility between the two engines.
Watch for news about that from Chaos Group as things progress — you can see progress so far in the video below:. If you would like to stay in touch with us by receiving a few emails every year about the major new releases we promise we have never and will never send you spam! And as always, you can also keep an eye on what we are cooking up on the roadmap.
Did you get carried away reading, and forgot to start your download? I have been using the Corona Daily Builder for some time, I am very excited about all the news! Great news for volumetric shaders! You can use Ornatrix. Yes, the student license is basically a FairSaaS license limited to 1 year, so you can use any version while your license is active.
