[Max] I need help! / stting exposure during animation

« on: 2023-01-26, 19:24:16 »

Hello,
I make an animation, a simple traveling on a scene that will go from day to night, with lighting and fire (Phoenix) that lights up as it goes.
I have a problem with the exposure setting.
I am looking to modify the exposure parameters during the animation, as in the interactive Rendering "Simple Exposure", from -1 during the day to 2 at night.
I can't find an exposure modification parameter in the Command Panel
In the CoronaCamera there is no more EV parameter in version 9
Does anyone have a solution? thank you in advance.

[Max] I need help! / DrServer disconnect

« on: 2019-09-30, 09:38:58 »

Hello, I have a problem with the DrServer, it disconnects at the beginning of calculation.

I have new computers since 3 months, a master and a slave. I installed the 3DS Max 2017 and Corona 4 versions .. I did tests with the DrServer, it worked very well. Then recently I installed Vray to open old files. I also changed the internet access provider that manages my network.
I don't know exactly when it started to stop working.

I send you the different DrServer logs.
I hope that inside there is the answer.
Thank you in advance.

[Max] I need help! / is this a bug?

« on: 2019-08-01, 15:55:35 »

I have a scene with some objects from an evermotion collection. I want to render interactive, with the least possible objects of the scene, I make them inactive in the vewport, but they appear in the VFB. Does it come from 3DS? corona? properties of the evermotion scene?
I have already made several visuals with scenes from the same collection (archmodels 212) without any problem of this type.
thank you

Hardware / one big workstation or 3 small in DR

« on: 2019-02-27, 06:07:27 »

Hello, I work under 3DS and Corona 3, I have the project to buy a new workstation
I have a conformable budget (13000 €)

Following various discussions I wonder about the best design.
- A powerful station 48 cores (96 threads) 2 xeon 24 cores, 128 GB Ram,
- or a station with one big single-processor type i9 and two node stations with many hearts type big xeon and 64 GB of ram each ....

Do you have an opinion? what do you think is the best choice?
thank you.

General CG Discussion / one more hardware configuration

« on: 2019-02-19, 19:00:19 »

Hi everyone...

like many of us, here I am at the moment of my life where I must (one more time) change my workstation ... poor of me .. hey hey hey ... :)

so I play to find the config that will match me best ...

Since I st up mu compagny in 2004, I use DELL, robust and no problem, can be a bit expensive but I think continue with ... to see .. open to everything.

I started to look on the web what is happening with the components, and then I talked a bit with my computer scientist ...

But your opinion of 3DS corona user and 3D graphic artist interposes me

I'm going to keep my current workstation to manage Lumion, with a 1080 ti and 56 GB ram, as Lumion only works on the GPU it will do and I could still use this tower as a slave for my future corona render farm.

For the design of the new tower, I am based on the softs that I will use daily.

Autocad and Inventor for my models then 3DS and Corona for rendering ...

so I looked for some info on the corona forum and their benchmark ...

https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark/results

I arrived at a config composed of 2 Xeon Platinum 8168 24 core and 128 GB of Ram. (more details in the config attached) I have a nice budget and want to please me ...

I am looking for something very, very fast in terms of calculation, I will recover the 980 ti of my current tower which will be largely enough ..

What about rysen I hear about? does anyone have an opinion on the different Xeon platinium? 128 GB or 192 of ram ?? Do you need a liquid cooling system? dell do not propose it to me in the config ...

thank you in advance for your feedback.

[Max] I need help! / convertor Corona to standard...

« on: 2018-07-09, 15:18:57 »

hello everyone, what advice can you give me for the export of a 3DS file made under Corona in twinmotion? I would like to keep the materials. I heard that the Corona file should be converted to a standard 3DS file, then exported to fbx to preserve the material ... is this correct? Do you have similar experiences?
do you know how to convert Corona Material to Standard material?
thank you in advance.
