You’re a great developer, thank you!

Sweet! But it seems rotating the lights does not seem to give correct results.

Looks like trading your soul with devil for programming skills really pays off + you get a bunch of followers.

I wish I wouldn’t have sold it already to Autodesk years ago… a really bad deal when I see what keymaster got :smiley:

That’s for sure :smiley:

Well, while I was rendering a test image with IES lights, suddenly max shut down. It was after 2 o 3 hours of testing and I didn’t change anything in particular to cause an error. I can’t know which error cause the shut down. Opening an autoback I got huge IES web in viewport: I had 2 standard corona rectangular lights with no IES and opening the autoback the IES file was added to this lights.

While choosing IES file I get weird results like a totally white render, even at super low multiplier. I know these file are right because with other render engine they render normally.

I also noticed that get clean reflective material is really really difficult with CoronaLights. I let render a region to a quite high render pass to see if I can get out of noise, but even at pass 1725 after 6,5 minutes it’s not clean, with some rough math it means that to render a 1280x720 I have to wait for about 2,38 hours, and for an image twice bigger about 9,5 hours. Render settings are almost the default, PT+PT 4 samples and lights samples multiplier at 10, last build.

And still, why the shadow from a chair leg when the shadow from all the rest behaves on another so strange looks?
