Chaos Corona to Vantage scene export 

Thank you! Do you mean the ability to go from Vantage to Corona, as I am not sure what is meant by "Export settings from Corona Vantage to 3ds Max"? Either way, if you can let us know over on the forums in the Feature Requests section (forum.corona-renderer.com/ ) then it can be properly tracked and considered for our future plans. Thanks! Tom

Live Link is indeed planned for Corona 13. It's primary purpose will be to allow you to render animations from Max or C4D through Vantage. Time will tell how "live" it is for other uses such as e.g. using it like an IPR - we won't know til we get started on development and seeing how things will go, just to manage expectations. Keep an eye on the daily builds over the next few months :) Thanks! Tom

Vantage doesn't have an equivalent for all textures/shaders/materials. You can check our documentation on compatability at Corona Max specifically: docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Corona+for+3ds+Max+Features Corona C4D specifically: docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Corona+for+Cinema+4D+Features And you also must check the V-Ray / Vantage document, as anything not supported there will not be supported by Corona either: Vantage compatibility per host app: docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/Supported+Features+per+Host+App If you don't find an answer through there (that is, by seeing you used something that is not compatible), then a ticket is the way to go: support.chaos.com/requests/new Thanks! Tom

If you have followed the steps shown in the video, and are not seeing the option that is shown in the menus in the video, it sounds like you have an older version of Corona installed. If you do indeed have Corona 12 installed and the option is not showing up, you would need to submit a ticket via support.chaos.com/requests/new so that the support team can take a look into things for you! Thanks! Tom

Thank you for the feedback! Do you mean camera settings inside Vantage, and Vantage render settings? We leave those to be covered in Vantage-specific videos since those are not unique to Corona, you can find those over on the Chaos TV channel at www.youtube.com/@ChaosOfficial . We don't want to replicate all that information in Corona videos, so that we can focus on creating more Corona-specific videos, and here we wanted to cover things not already explained in the Vantage videos. Let us know if you don't find what you need in the Vantage-specific videos, or if you meant something other than Vantage camera and render settings! Thanks! Tom

No plans at the moment, since that is more of a Max thing than a Corona thing. Corona should work with all the new management options in 3ds Max, which leaves that as a Max topic when it comes to learning how it works. For any questions you run into, do ask on the forums (forum.corona-renderer.com/ ) or send in a ticket (support.chaos.com/requests/new ). Thanks! Tom

@@ChaosCorona Hi Tom! Thanks for your response. I know it's more of a Max thing, but I was trying to adopt this new color management workflow in Corona and found it somewhat confusing. For instance, I'm not sure which color space option I should choose when loading bitmaps, or whether I should disable the ACES OT option in Corona tone mapping to get the correct final result. I will try the forum for answers, but I think having some basic guidelines with tips and best practices would be helpful for other users, too. Thanks!

@@sergey5604 TY for asking on the forums. This will help guide our tech support folks on what sort of documentation it would be useful to draw up, by seeing what questions and areas of confusion there are. Thanks! Tom

No special preparation needed, other than not using materials that Vantage does not support (or that we don't currently convert to Vantage). If you are running into an issue with a particular scene, after checking whether what is in the scene is supported by Vantage, you can always reach us via ticket and share the scene (which is private) for us to take a look at what is going on - support.chaos.com/requests/new . Hope this helps! Tom

For now, bitmaps should be able to be color corrected (basic color correction), although there may be incorrect rotation in Vantage. As noted, this is just our initial implementation of export to Vantage capturing the fundamentals, and improvements will come in the future. OFC this also depends on what Vantage supports. You can check our current support and take a look at what Vantage supports in general (that is, from Max and V-Ray, as if it is not supported for V-Ray it won't be supported for Corona either, now or in the future, at least not until it is supported from V-Ray): docs.chaos.com/display/LAV/3ds+Max Hope this helps! Tom

From what I understand, the latest Cosmos and Vantage updates now have animated trees and plants that you can take from Cosmos and drop into your Vantage scene (they don't animate in V-Ray or in Corona, just in Vantage). If this doesn't answer your question, please send us a ticket at support.chaos.com/requests/new with more details. Thanks! Tom

If you are experiencing crashes, please send in a ticket at support.chaos.com/requests/new so that the support team can help out. In the ticket be sure to cover what version of Max you are using, what error message you got, what steps you were following when the crash occurred, a minidump, and preferably if possible the scene, along with info on whether this happens in every scene or only one specific one. That info will cut down on any question and answer back and forth that would need to happen before we can begin diagnosing what is happening. Best regards, Tom

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! Bear in mind that Vantage itself only supports certain things. It won't support third party plugins like FloorGenerator for example. It also does not support the slicer (from V-Ray, or Corona - Vantage simply doesn't have an equivalent). So those are not "fixes" - third party plugin support will likely never happen (there are just too many), and for something like the Slicer, that is a feature request rather than a fix, which would need to go in to the Vantage team. The Vantage documentation will cover where and how to send in such requests. Hope this helps! Tom

@@ChaosCorona Thank you for your response. But it is important to me. It increases my speed and ease of execution. I understand that you have your own vision and analytics. But if there are no basic things, I will not be interested in Chaos Vantage. Why buy a product that will slow down my work instead of speeding it up? This is just my vision and wishes.

You'd have to check in with the Vantage team on what the longer term plans are there. Not sure what you mean by compatibility with C4D, as Corona 12 can export from Max or C4D to Vantage. There are some differences between the two, which arise mostly from how C4D handles UVW very differently, but that said Vantage is already compatible with C4D. Hope this helps! Tom

As mentioned in our tutorials and webinar and blog post, Corona 13 is when we plan to have a live link which will let you render animations from 3ds Max and Cinema 4D without having to build them in Vantage (though you can do a lot by building them in Vantage already!). Hope this helps! Tom

Vantage doesn't support any editing or creating of UVW. You'll have to adjust things back over in the DCC for that. Hope this helps! Tom

Vantage is real time raytracing, with the big plus that you don't have to jump through hoops and learn a game engine to g get things over to it :) Hope this helps! Tom

There is more to the update than Vantage (since you are commenting specifically on the Vantage video). However, that said, we always welcome hearing what features you would like to see that would make an update worth it for you, and you can let us know via the forums for now at forum.corona-renderer.com/ (there are Feature Request boards for Max and C4D). Thanks! Tom

Real joke lumion 4000 😂🎉

Vantage doesn't offer support for volume grids at the moment - you can always send a feature request to the Vantage team if you feel this is something that would be useful! Hope this helps. Tom
