« on: 2023-10-23, 20:08:37 »

Good morning guys, im having this issue on several models now, im i doing something wrong? here is the screenshot for the issue

Try increasing the maxscript heap allocation size as instructed here: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528127520017-I-am-getting-MAXScript-Auto-load-Script-Error
Generally, searching for error messages in our help center is a good idea. :)

Already try that, here the screenshot.

Hy guys, I've been experiencing some issues with caustics on animations, tried different approaches suggested here on the forums with no luck, here I upload two animation samples with the issue, one made wit path tracing on both solutions with noise level of 4 ant the second one with path tracing as primary and UHD on secondary, here I've even increased the photons at 15k as suggested, no luck.

And also, just to clarify, the drop on one machine (3970x) is less than 50% the other two are below 35%

Happy to answer, all ram slots are used, all same brand, same model installed correctly and purchased in the same 4 package, this issue ist presented before, i have this 4 machines for more than a year, just presented this drop of performance and also been working for this project for almost 3 months and that's how i notice the render time increased by almost 5 times in some cases so that why i pay attention to this performance and saw the cpu usage drop.

Hi, im uploading 2 scenes, both same issues, caustics not existent on some shots and CPU performance below 50%

1. the problem occur on distribute, on backburnner and also local.
2. I don't see it happen on previous versions, I've noticed after some daily builds for the 10 version and now this final version this occurs a lot, almost in all scenes.
3. benchmark ok, cpu 100%

1. yes, all workstations with water cooling at 72 degrees top temp.
2.yes, all workstations at windows 11 with recent updates
3.Yes, using tightVNC but this behavior occurs without been connected, actually for this images I only connected to take the screenshot.
4. No, I don't have other render engines installed, only corona, this is to avoid strange behavior or errors with other render engines materials that could be imported on some models, I only have vray on a laptop with 3ssmax 2022 to convert some models from vray to corona, this machine its never used to render.
5.yes, this issue is presented on several scenes, simple and heavy, with and without caustics, displacement, animated or still.
6. No, none of my workstations are set to Powe saving mode.

ill try to upload some samples, also I've notice the caustics on the preview and the final render are different and even not existent on the final render, they appear very subtle on the caustics render channel but not on the final image, here some examples.

Good afternoon guys, here are two screenshots showing the ridiculous time to render some simple scenes and not using more than 50% of the CPU, the machines are: threadripper 3990x with the 25% workload and the threadripper 3970x with the 50% workload, additional im using a threadripper 3979x with the same issues (no screenshot), they are rendering slower than a Intel  i9 9900K, I've texted on DR and backburner, same issues.

Good day guys, I think corona RC3 is having issues reding licenses for nodes in backburner and DR, have made test with 4 scenes, 3 simple and one complex, same result, also AMD threadripper performance has drop considerably, in some cases my 3090x is giving me bigger times than my 3970x and even more crazy, an i9 9900k gave me similar results as the 3090x, also test in RC2 and got same results, Also constant drops and DR but in backburner the RC2 was reading the licenses fine,  ill try to upload more info but Im in a deadline right now
