What speckles?

There are strip tiles in the 3d library, Look for Tile. - http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/library&reset=true

Hi Kirk,

Yes it works fine.

Please suggest to the content team to add Blur (Gloss) property to the material class settings. This must be functional to RTs  with or without using photons.

We can use this to any surface like metals, wood, walls.

What I would do at the moment is to apply a customized bumpmap to blur reflections.

Attached is a Phoebe RT without photon. The hood is a mirror with bumpmap. It looks right from a distance...

Guilty as charged!

yes, thanks Kirk!

Try to load new export path each time:

PS. load each new project

3ds from chief crashes in Blender too. I read that we have to download the Legacy file from Corona.

Try the attached .dae from x6.

chief dae.zip

Please go ahead. Thanks.

Just highlight Mick's post and copy it. Then go to

the other thread and past it into the reply window.

 

I think here is where I'm supposed to say ... easy peasy.

I tried but the images won't post.

 

I don't see a Corona Thread Jintu?

Here's the  thead, - https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/2527-corona-renderer/?p=20390

Thanks MIck.

 

Blender 2.72 is here http://www.blender.org/download/  or Feature Page http://www.blender.org/features/2-72/

 

then you need the two files in the link Jintu points to above as well for the Standalone to work it looks like....

this page has a security cert. error in IE but opens fine in Chrome for me...

Edit:

 

The Installation Instructions are a little out of date with Blender 2.72 so this should help :

 

 

1. Extract Corona Standalone to your hard drive.
2. From the .zip file of the exporter, extract the contained folder named “render_corona”. (only this folder is in download)
3. Put the “render_corona” folder into your <blender installation directory>\2.72\scripts\addons
4. Enable the addon from the preferences panel, under the “Render” category (Put Check in Box on Right)
5. In the preferences panel, set the path to the Corona Standalone directory containing the Corona executable. ( done for you now)
6. Blender Path.JPG
7. Select “Corona” from the render engine dropdown.
8. Blender Render Dropdown.JPG
9. Set the project export path in the Corona Render panel in the Render tab
10. Blender Export Path.JPG
11. If you have a Nvidia Videocard you can enable the CUDA Cores too it looks like (left side of pic)

13. Now I just have to learn how to use it

 

Hi

Thanks for your tutorial. Please allow me to repost this in the Corona thread, this information is important. The question is how.

Maybe you should download Blender first.

Software?

I usually use vray for Max, Phoebe for the interior on some occasion.

Hi Curt,

Here's the latest build of the standalone:

PS I'll post in a new thread so some can follow.

 

And nice work for posting the plan gold333 !

 I agree

 

What are the minimum software requirements? You currently need an x64 3ds MAX 2011-2015 running on Windows Vista or newer.    

 

That might be the problem I'm having in downloading it? I don't have 3d s Max and really have no plans to spend $3500 on it anytime soon. For what I do, not worth that cost.

No need to buy 3dsmax. You can try Corona for Blender they are both free.

There is also a StandAlone version but I haven't tried it yet.

https://corona-renderer.com/forum/index.php?topic=905.0

yes, it will. in fact I prefer the export format.

ok. tomorrow

Here's one.

I have no idea why you cannot find it. Maybe it went straight to your 3dsMax root folder. Try the standalone.

What it says here are true: It's a one-click process. I find easy to use, That's all I can say,

• Free for commercial use without any limitations, with user-friendly pricing planned for future releases.
• Easy to use - most scenes can be rendered with default settings, without changing a single parameter! Most new users are able to learn Corona in 1-3 days. And it is a deeply integrated 3ds MAX plugin, not only an exporter.
• High quality results with no interpolation artifacts or splotches. Only 100% crisp ray-traced shadows and GI. Even biased results are very close to the unbiased reference.
• Fast rendering with immediate feedback with the progressive rendering. Corona can quickly render complicated scenes with glossy reflections, soft shadows, massive vegetation, etc.
• Fast development - There is a new major version every few months. Most serious reported bugs are fixed in a matter of days. Users can propose new features, and most of the good suggestions are implemented in the next major release.

Thank you!

I would love see Chief avail of the Corona Renderer, It's real fast and most of all it's free....for now.

Just 1 request: Give us the ability to blur reflections.

Adjust UV Roughness to 100% or change Material Class to General Material.

If you want a bright ceiling use Ambient Occlusion instead of Uniform Intensity.

Just zip it.

Thanks.

Here's a quick raytrace.

You can also use the settings for your 2d floor plan.

Charles,

-All doors must not have casings.

-place windows as you normally do. (you can make the sash and frames thinner like in your sample)

-after everything is in place go to Default Settings > Floor > make ceiling height to 78".

I can send you my template if you like.
