Hi. I would like to know how to make Corona Proxies with the option of turning on/off the different meshes as some of the Proxies found in ChaosCosmos.
Attached is the screen of what I mean.

[Max] I need help! / Corona 10 RC1 Not using 100% CPU but DR Server do OK

« on: 2023-06-06, 20:02:32 »

Im rendering with my WS + 3 DRServers.
My WS is a 3960X and is the most powerful in my network but now with Corona 10 RC1 I'm seeing that my WS reaches a max. of 80% during rendering and minimums of 65% moving up and down within these values, but the slaves are working at 100% stable.

WS:

One of the DR Servers:

That 20-30% of loss in my WS represents a lot of power and time.

I tried to stop the Servers and only test with the WS and it stays at 80% max.

Can you help me?

[Max] Feature Requests / Light Lister // Suggestions

« on: 2022-12-14, 18:08:57 »

Hi. I'm Mario.

I would like to suggest these things to the Corona Light Lister:

1) Integrate CORONA SUN to the Light Lister
2) Groups of INSTANCED LIGHTS (inside a dropdown list), so we can see only 1 group per line (like Vray's).
3) The main list could be ordered by name, not by creation date (it would be also great to do this in the Chaos Scatter, but that's for another thread).
4) The Icon is still the Pinetree you used for the former "corona scatter". I think a Light bulb or something related will be better for the UI/UX

If I don't make myself clear somehow, please text me, I'll be glad to answer.
Thanks.

Best regards.

[Scatter] I need help! / [solved] Scattered Objects missing in render Node

« on: 2020-06-02, 01:42:19 »

Hi there.

My problem is that my render node doesn't render objects scattered with Corona Scatter. Neither with DR or through Backburner.

Here's my problem through my different tests. Consider that only the Crystal Torus Knots are the scattered objects of this test:

-Animation with Backburner: I launched the animation and the node doesn't render the scattered objects, only the WS renders OK as you can see here (Left buffer shows my Workstation and Right shows the Node):

-Still Image with Backburner: I sent a single still image from my Workstation to the render node and again, the scattered objects didn't appear:

-Distributed Rendering: When I launch a render with DR from my workstation, I get some areas where the Scattered objects don't show correctly as you can see here:

**Important Notes:
- I tried with Corona 5.2 and now a Corona version: 6 DailyBuild May 28 2020 and with both I have the same problem.
- I tried with Multiscatter and the scattered objects render OK.
- I tried with Vray (without scattering objects) and my DR or Backburner works render Perfectly.

// Additional Comment // I sent the scene to a friend who tried to help me and he tried with his WS + 2 nodes and everything renders OK. So it's likely that the problem is in my network or something.

About my PCs:
-Both have Windows 10 with latest updates. (Including the net framework suggested in the Corona help site).
-3ds Max 2017 with the same plugins and SP3 Installed.
-Same render engine in both WS and Node.
-WS is a Dual Xeon and Node is a TR 3960x. But that shouldn't be a problem because with previous versions of Corona I hadn't that problem.
-Both PCs don't have antivirus, they only run Windows Defender.

Scene file: You can download the scene I'm using here:

I hope you can help me. If you need to ask me something please feel free.
Thanks.
