CORONA -> VANTAGE

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Help Required
1

Hello guys,
i gave a chance this new tools and really trying to make it work.

Question:

  • When Roughness maps in Live Link will be fixed? (now using map i base color makes roughness map not work) → you have to use Export Scene and then standalone Vantage.
  • When will Corona AO or Curvature work?
    Edit:
    Also translucency is not 1:1
    Also hdri map to match Corona has to rotated 270deg inside Vantage.

Regarding “translucency is not 1:1” can you share more of your setup? are you using Corona Physical or legacy mtl? Which version of Vantage and Corona you are using? Can you share a video showing this issue?

Hi,

Is this (Report ID=CMAX-1664), still being investigated? Updated to latest hotfix and vantage update today and the HDRI rotation issue still persists.

Hi,

This has been fixed quite some time ago. Even Corona 13 HF1 has this fix in it.

Hi,

How are you applying your HDRI in 3DS Max? We usually use a CoronaBitmap, control the rotation within that, and plug it into our Scene Environment. See image HDRI 01.

If you compare the rotation of the result in Vantage in image HDRI 02, you can see they do not match.

Are you using a different method which might be giving different results? I have tried it with a normal Bitmap as well, still the same results. I am having to rotate the HDRI by 270 degrees within Vantage. Which then resets when I move anything within max.

Do you mean that numbers/degrees do not match, but live link in Vantage and render in Corona are correct?

If it is just about numeric value, it is just how Vantage interprets rotation - it’s clockwise and counter-clockwise logic, which can be different from software to software.
