hi all!
I’m new to Corona so pls forgive my obvious noobness. I’ve just installed it for max 2012 and tried to render a cube, just a basic shape with no txtures or materials, and the rendering time is infinite. to be exact, if I tap F9 to render i got a black screen with no render segmentation, nothing shows except the bottom line info about the multiple passes which are strangely high, like if I leave it to render for one minute ( on a simple single cube..6 polys ) it shows something like 3,250 passes, screen is continuously black and I can’t see anything ( yes i have switched it to corona renderer, I wouldn’t be able to tell the passes count and the big smiley with corona tag next to it ) can someone pls help out, this renderer seems like a awesome thing, i’d like to try it.
Hehhehe, Oh, so I do need lights in the scene, I gathered that it would automatically use the default max light intensity, ehhe, this is so silly, thankyou, I’ll try this LOL, i feel like a hardcore noob right now
yap! I am a certified noob, heh. Thankyou for ur help! I see the scene now, and I’e used a Corona light for this, but I was wondering, how can I reduce the render time to a more workable factor.like, I’ve tapped f9 and it’s still rendering a simple plane and a cube, now with lights but, this is like three or four min of the process, and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna finish soon ?
I’ve never ever used default 3dsmax lights, and I always hated disabling them, so I made it that they won’t parse in Corona ;). Regarding rendertime, post screenshot of your vfb in slow scene with the stats toolbar visible (click stats button in the vfb)
I do get it now, well,this part about the infinite time I’ll have to play with some values in the render settings to get it working for my scene, but I’m loving these results, it’s a really fast renderer, awesome it’s free thankyou so much, I can test my scene with it now, finally
Good to know Keymaster, I’ll keep that in mind next time.
I’m sending you the stats vfb in attach
this scene is finished in 11 seconds, can you printscreen the simple one where you said you have to wait for 4 minutes? Or is it just that you did not know that the default behavior is that you have to cancel the render by yourself?
yap, it’s true, I didn’t know that at the time, thx to Raw, I do now I’m trying to render my character with txtures at the moment, so I’ll have to see how much time does it take to get a decent result so that I can adjust the time and pass number in the settings
can someone pls help out, this renderer seems like a awesome thing, i’d like to try it.
