[Max] I need help! / FAQ/tips

« on: 2013-10-17, 19:51:42 »

Sorry, but I understand Nothing)
Can I somewhere read, what settings do what - for better understanding how all it works, to tune needed quality/time ratio, or which are better for different render scenarios?
Maybe someone smart can gather some kind of FAQ or tricks n tips in one place, pls?

I read tons of topics and find some interesting info, but all of it is scattered around here, and as newbie I'm not sure which of them should trust, or can it be useful in my particular case?
Thank You, someone)

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Fast Preview Render

« on: 2013-10-16, 16:02:38 »

I need sometime some preview renders)
Tried to search some answer here, but didn't found...

E.g. in VRay i could tune settings and achieve pics aprox the same quality, but slightly blurry and maybe noisy (depends on scene complexity) and it'll take 10-30min/pic 1080p on my 3770K 3,5GHz!
Corona's pics are great,but in 5-15mins still are noisy( i'm new in it but avoid Emission Mats, Huge Displace/Bump, Albedo 1, etc.)!
Maybe there are some settings in Corona to achieve pics in 10-20mins maybe less photographic/supadupa-realistic/amazing/caustic/dof/beauty but no noise? or special tracing method? or settings I didn't noticed? or...not enough beer in me?)

btw. now I use Alpha5 (not daily build).
