RTT baked maps don't get saved anywhere

[Frood]

I tried Max2016+Corona 1.6.1 and a fresh Max2018+1.6.1, tried every option (local/UNC/other-than-C-drive). It just does not save out a single map. Rendering is ok even for multiple objects but obviously no save happens.

I´ve found a few old Mantis entries (and Romullus having the same issue once) but they do not really help. What do I miss? When switching to MR with the same setup everything works fine.

Thanks and
Good Luck

do you get error message? there should be now one. usually it is a problem with path prefix for saving which is different from regular rendering and is somewhere in the bake dialog

[Frood]

No error/error message except assets from the shell material having the old map in the diffuse slot. And even when I point everything (regular render output and that prefix you mentioned in RTT "General Settings") to a simple "C:\temp\" nothing at all is saved.) I get a happy cVFB rendering the map but no file.

I figured it out. After inspecting older scenes which surprisingly worked, I found out that it's somehow connected to the render settings.

And Corona seems to need something that does not has to be activated when using other renderers for baking: It´s the "Element Active" checkbox of "Render Elements". Holy teapot - what a nasty trap... Couldn't this be activated silently/internal somehow? At least some error message would be handy here. Baking just fails silently to save files if that checkbox is off.

Looks like a bug to me. Moving to bug reports.

Isn't it bug by Autodesk? Maybe we should move this to their forum? :]

Still there are no files saved using Backburner:

And DR does not work either:
