«Attention to detail creates perfection, but perfection is no longer a detail»
Michelangelo Buonarroti

I've been wanting a plugin like this to appear for a long time! And here it is! Everything here is thought out to the smallest detail: colors, shortcuts, the ability to snap to the edge of the window, hotkeys... In short, the interface is top notch! It is very important for me to work without freezes and crashes. Some plugins and scripts sometimes really failed - the necessary settings were lost, and the project deadlines, for a minute, were running out. Here everything works properly - there was not a single freeze or glitch!

I'll tell you which features were useful to me:

The panel sticking to the edge of the window (I like it when all the cameras are at hand, because I have about 20 of them)
This is, in fact, what the plugin was purchased for: linking Corona Sun, Light, Sky, HDRI to cameras (this saved me a lot of time and nerve cells). The sun and target can now be selected in 1 click, rather than making endless mouse movements across the screen. Select the sun and immediately, looking at the interactive, move it. Fantastic))
Oh, and also, you can turn on several suns at once for one camera, who needs it
Those who use HDRI maps will appreciate the linking of the Corona sun and the sun in an HDRI map in 1 click. It's super convenient!
Cool one-click camera copy function
Now the target aligns with the camera with 1 click! Saving time!
Adjusting the frame size for each camera (and here are the tricks: presets, increasing/decreasing the size x2 in 1 click)
It’s great that now the camera has only the necessary properties: FOV, Clipping, Focal l (the list will be expanded in the next new version) and now you don’t need to scroll through the properties panel in order to find only 5-8 parameters you need
LightMix and Batch Render. Again in 1 click. By the way, the cool thing about Batch Render is that you don’t have to rename renders, because they are assigned the name of your camera. Now you will not have the names “111”, “123”, “222”)))
New features will be added in new versions (I already know which ones, stay tuned)

I definitely recommend it for work! «Must have»!

I consider this plugin to be one of the best I have ever used. I think he will have great success and popularity. I wish good luck to Andrei and his team. You are very talented guys, let everything work out!

I never really used project managers, trying not to load the pipeline. Keeping the quality bar high, I always detail the lighting for each camera and I usually kept a copy of the scenes for each lighting scheme. And then if corrections arrive, then the trouble begins with opening them and copying the changes back and forth. After another such project, I decided to try to simplify my life and checked out this plugin. Setting the light, the position of the sun and the settings for the sky with clouds are saved directly «in camera» and switched on the fly, and for edits there is now only one scene per iteration, no confusion.If you are as meticulous as I am - I definitely recommend)

A wonderful plugin that saves time and covers many needs. You need to get used to it and take some time to study it, but after that it makes life a lot easier. I was very pleased with the level of attention to detail, such as multi-colored flags for cameras with different names; screenshots of previews that fly into a folder in 1 click; very flexible camera resolution settings; simplified work with lightmix and a lot more. It’s immediately clear that the product is made by a 3D artist who knows from the inside all the pains that we face every day. I thank the team for such painstaking work and special thanks for the fact that Andrey is always in touch if questions arise.

For me, the EPC plugin was a real find. Based on its functionality, I understood that this was a useful thing, but in practice it turned out to be much more useful than I thought. After working with this tool for a couple of weeks, I understand that without it it will be problematic. All the features of the plugin are so good that it feels like it’s a whole collection of useful scripts and plugins combined into one tool. There is nothing superfluous, from switching cameras with different resolutions through a convenient menu with 1 click or putting the most necessary camera settings into a convenient modifier, ending with setting up a new light for each camera (for me this is perhaps the most valuable thing: when you want to do something very beautiful and high-quality , but in commercial projects there is no time for this, and EPC solves this problem. And how much easier it has become to work with batch rendering, setting it up in a matter of seconds, that it seems that in the basic functionality of 3ds max it is simply not “usable”. In general EPC, at the end of the year, turned out to be a real New Year's gift for me! 🔥

The plugin is mega convenient. I have been using it for quite a long time and in every project – be it interior or exterior. And Andrey makes contact and listens to wishes, and if he wants to add something that is not in it and he has the opportunity, he adds it in the next version or in the foreseeable future. I have already added several functions that I wanted to get – scrolling the list of cameras, sticking a panel in the interface, remembering the place where it was previously opened - and then on little things such as saving camera sizes, for example. Already in the next version, at my request, many new and very useful settings will appear. I highly recommend!

What is the process for purchasing and registering an EPC?

1. Create a request
Write to me in any messenger in the «Contacts» section below (preferably in Telegram) and indicate the desired EPC edition.

2. Provide your personal details
1. First and last name in English
2. Link to a work social network where it is clear that you are engaged in 3d-visualization (Instagram, Behance or personal site)

3. Creating Your Personal EPC Registration Code
The registration code is generated based on the configuration of your PC and installed software

4. Payment for the selected EPC installation option
1. To the card (MIR/Visa/Mastercard)
2. Crypto
3. Using a ready-made payment form on this site

5. Issue of your EPC serial number
Your installation serial number is provided with the plugin file.

Do I need to buy EPC again after reinstalling 3DS Max, Windows or moving to a new PC?

No, EPC is purchased for the user once and for all. After reinstalling 3DS Max, Windows, or moving to a new PC, you just need to reinstall EPC in your account.

Do I need to buy an EPC for each render-node?

If you use other PCs only as render-nodes and will not use them to work with a scene with an EPC, then you do not need to buy an EPC for each PC. Use EPC Converter on your original EPC scene to render that scene on another PC without installing EPC.

If I need EPC on a second PC, will I need to buy another Personal edition?

No, if you have already purchased one Personal EPC edition - you will just need to pay the difference for a Double EPC edition. Discounts and promotional codes that were valid at the time of purchasing a personal edition will also be valid if you pay extra for a Double edition.

How to send a scene with an EPC to a render-farm or colleagues?

To send a scene from EPC to render-farms or colleagues who do not have EPC installed, use EPC Converter. The converted scene will contain all EPC settings. In order not to load all the settings for each camera manually, the rendering of the converted scene without EPC will need to be launched only through Batch Render, even for one frame.

At the moment, there is no support for LightMix when converting a scene (due to the features of 3DS Max, this topic is currently being discussed on the official Corona Render forum). You will need to apply the LightMix settings to the scene (the Scene button in the LightMix panel of the framebuffer) and remove the LightMix and LightSelect render elements before converting the scene. At the same time, scenes without LightMix are converted flawlessly.

What is the difference between the new «global» and the new «regular» versions of the EPC?

Regular new version
Contains improvements to existing functionality. The price for upgrading to the regular new version of EPC for owners of previous versions is free.

Global new version
Contains completely new functionality. The price of upgrading to the global new version of EPC for owners of previous versions (see version history) is $10 one-time or free when purchasing EPC by your friends based on your recommendation.

All new users receive the latest EPC version upon purchase.

Who will own a copy of the EPC when purchasing it for a studio employee?

The copy of the EPC will belong to the buyer, i.e. the person who actually purchased the plugin. However, further technical support, answers to questions, etc. will be provided specifically to the EPC end user, i.e. to your employee.

Who will own a copy of the EPC when purchasing it as a gift to another person?

When purchasing a copy of the EPC for further gifting to another person, the copy of the EPC will belong to the end user. Further technical support, answers to questions, etc. will be provided specifically to the «gift recipient».

Do you provide support after purchasing an EPC?

Of course, you can always ask any questions about the EPC. Also, all plugin owners are added to a secret chat, in which we answer any questions about the operation of EPC, and also discuss the functionality of the next versions.

Will there be additional discounts for group purchases, for example from 10 EPC installations?
