Tutorial: Getting Started with Caustics in Corona Renderer for 3ds Max

[@abdalraheemaltousi7373]

Great video! Great instructor! Thank You !

[@javanshirshukurov]

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot!

[@ChaosCorona]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and found it useful!

If i enable caustics, I'm getting excruciating fireflies , not single white specs, the whole surfaces with firefly stains...

[@ChaosCorona]

Hi! KZbin comments are not a good place to discuss issues - they don't allow screen grabs, example renders, and all the other stuff useful to diagnosing an issue; plus, developers can't monitor KZbin comments and track them. See coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000524006-how-to-report-issues-3ds-max for how to report issues to us, which would be through the forum, email to support, or support ticket. Thanks! Tom

We need more C4D videos 🙏🙏

[@ChaosCorona]

Those are being worked on too of course :)

Harald does an awesome job on these - the comment in the office was "I feel smarter just hearing that voice"! :) Thanks! Tom

[@Phoenix-gz9xb]

I have the latest version of Corona and the fire still renders bright white. Anyone have a solution?

[@ChaosCorona]

Sorry, not without having a lot more information, such as seeing the scene itself, or at least seeing screengrabs of the PhoenixFD and/or CoronaVolumeGrid set up etc. KZbin doesn't allow posting such things in comments, so the best way to ask for help is via the forums (corona-renderer.com/forum/) or the various Corona Facebook groups if you just need help from the community (e.g. facebook.com/groups/183831411996004/). Thanks! Tom

[@amateursontour507]

Hey when we will be able to use CForona with the newest version of C4D :)? Can't wait to try it out!

[@ChaosCorona]

As soon as possible - it's our top priority right now to get things working with R21. More news once we know more ourselves on when compatibility will be available :) Thanks! Tom

[@Phoenix-gz9xb]

I only have one issue with Corona as of lately that sets it aside from being the best renderer. It doesnt support wet maps for Phoenix. Only Vray, I think. Otherwise, it's the best renderer to me.

[@mileshodge3477]

Does Corona with with Phoenix FD fire yet? Does it still render white?

[@ChaosCorona]

It should have worked properly ever since compatibility was introduced - only Foam was unsupported (and remains unsupported), but fire should have been working fine. We'd need more details if you are having any problems - see coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000524006-how-to-report-issues-3ds-max. Thanks! Tom

[@mileshodge3477]

@@ChaosCorona yes. It renders all white. Is it fixed in version 4? Maybe I still have 3

[@mileshodge3477]

@@ChaosCorona and do you know when update will work with foam?

[@ChaosCorona]

@@mileshodge3477 Compatibility with foam has not been added yet, and is not on the roadmap for now, sorry. There is always the Feature Request section of our forum, you can add your voice to any existing thread, or post a new one if no-one has requested it already - see corona-renderer.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0.

What is the processor for this computer?

[@ChaosCorona]

Don't know at the moment - but since most of the video is at an accelerated speed, knowing that wouldn't tell you very much anyway I suspect :) Cheers! Tom

And, for what it's worth, it's a dual Xeon 6142, with 64Gb memory. Thanks! Tom

Still waiting for some quality videos that are missing from 2-3 year's

[@ChaosCorona]

Sorry you don't find these "quality" - feel free to head over to the forums and tell us what you think is missing in these latest videos! We always welcome feedback. Thanks! Tom

[@brdklt]

@@ChaosCorona i mean like the ones that Ludvik did. It looks to me that those were very well organized helpful and enjoying to watch because they had a purpose of what to do from the beginning and are long also which means that they cover all the aspects of a good tutorial, not just to show us that we ca have caustics in Corona but we need to se more ... Thanks for all your hard work!

[@ChaosCorona]

@@brdklt Those are very different tutorials - there are two kinds, one that introduces new features, and one that does a whole project. The whole project ones are much more difficult to create - and not only that, recent versions of Corona have introduced a LOT of new features which we need to catch up on with feature based tutorials! Otherwise someone wanting to know how to use caustics would have to go through 60 minutes of video to find out just that :) So for now til we catch up with all the features that have come out, we'll be focusing on these shorter, tool-specific tutorials, as those are the most useful for folks to get up to speed with the latest and greatest features. Longer term, we may see some project based videos again at some point, we shall see :) Thanks! Tom

[@Gringottone]

@@brdklt Its always good to have both, right? I don't need Ludvik to tell me how to do stuff, but I sometimes just need to learn about the feature - I can find the application for it later. But yes his tutorial's even tho (I really didn't have this organized fealing like you did) are really helpful and it's always pleasure to watch them.

[@brdklt]

@@Gringottone yes i agree! I'm not judging about their quality videos, for general information or not, but i have to give my opinions based on my experience as a Corona lover till day one. I have learned from Ludvik videos so much that i want others also to know what this superior render engine is capable of, that's all!

[@carlosnedafilm]

More c4d videos!!!

[@ChaosCorona]

Yep, those are in progress (and always have been, alongside the Max ones :) ). Thanks! Tom

@@ChaosCorona :D :D Yeeeii :)

[@bolbolegypttuber]

Everything in corona is very good more than other render engine Just speed render in final is slow if comparison with vray specially Must resolve this important issue coz not all work can wait Some of our work have a time to wait corona finish a very good render So sometimes we move to vray ( i like corona more than vray ) just speed in final 🥺

[@bolbolegypttuber]

I'm already user original for corona 5 with last version uploaded

[@ChaosCorona]

@@bolbolegypttuber Thank you for the kind words, and for being a Coronaut :) Feel free to post over on our forums for developers to take a look at any slow scenes you have! We always welcome feedback (corona-renderer.com/forum/). Thanks! Tom

long live 3ds max

Naaaah don't think so

[@iskandarich1519]

@@brdklt in my view it is very slow.

[@Gringottone]

​@@iskandarich1519 It is, but the alternatives are no way better. But they finally started rewriting the CODE so possible 2022 will be fast.

[@brdklt]

@@iskandarich1519 I've used to be a c4d user but for some plugins that i can't work without i had chosen to go with 3ds max wich belive me it's a great and complete tool but what i miss the most is the UI. C4d has the best Ui for me but the layer way of working in 3ds max is a must for me and also uv maps are unbelievably worst in c4d.
