CoronaClipper / slice / cross section

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Feature Requests
1

Hello,

Many animation projects I work on are complex mechanical demonstrations that heavily use 3DS Max’s slice & cap holes modifiers. It’s buggy at best on imported cad models with random holes, tight corners, etc. I’ve tried the VrayClipper with great results despite not seeing the end result in the viewport but much prefer the amazing Corona for everything else!

I’d kindly like to request a similar feature in Corona… the CoronaClipper / CoronaSlice that has an ‘animatable’ slice plane and material ID.

Thanks!

Hi
I have to cut an entire model of an office but don’t know how… Is there an alternative to VRayClipper that does not exist in Corona?

3

I only know of slice modifier and boolean / proboolean objects.

4

Thanks Maru… yes I think (sick) that’s the only (hard) solution for the moment…

Bump up on this one, is there a better workaround to VrayClipper in Corona then proboolean?

+1 for a CoronaClipper… we’re about to do a very demanding sectional cutaway image and it would save a lot of hassle. The work-arounds are fine but time is money :wink:

Oh crap, it works! Slow as hell, cumbersome to setup, but works :]

I guess this workaround is still impossible in Corona despite the new distance tex because it lacks the inside/outside option.

10

Yeah, that was one of the first things i tried when CoronaDistance came out and no, it didn’t work :[

11

I tried hacking it with back/front map but it is ignored by distance tex.

12

+1 for corona clipper as well!

13

+1 would be great to have this.

14

Guise…

Added inside color to distance texture

Guise!

Interesting, interesting!

The real trick would be if it works on complex shapes with multiple holes on the same/nearby face… Neither of Max’s slice modifier, boolean or proboolean work properly, if at all with these model features.

16

It is render time boolean, so it should work with anything. :smiley:

17

Any closer to having a solution that applies the objects texture to its bridge? In vray it is applied to lots and lots of objects in one go and it always looks great. If i understand correctly this only works on one object?

So many times asked for it in some others topic’s, but no one paid any attention to it/
This really necessary thing for ArchViz top plan’s and others architectural situation’s, if Corona continues to evolve in this direction as basically///

Yes agree completely.
