[Max] I need help! / Re: Scene parsing issues

« on: 2021-11-17, 09:32:59 »

Hi all, I'm also using Corona 7 Hotfix 1 and also encounter the scene parsing issue Andrew and John describe. To me it seems to have to do something with Forest Pack and/or Railclone, but I'm not sure.

In some other topics on this forum I read a similar issue is fixed in the latest Daily Build of Corona 8. Is it possible to 'back-port' the solution to Corona 7?

Thanks, this fixes my problem for now, hopefully it can be fixed in a future release of Corona Renderer.

I've rendered a new animation with Hotfix 1 installed, but the flickering still occurs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCmJG_JZXJw

I wil also file a bug report and mention this topic.

Hi Mike, I'm using the default Corona 6, not the hotfix. I will install it today and make a new test animation. I'll let you know if that fixes it.

[Scatter] 3ds Max - Bug Reporting / Animation flickering with corona scatter

« on: 2020-11-28, 10:13:37 »

Hi all, I'm making a simple animation of a building, and when I use corona scatter, it flickers because on some frames the plants are rendered in a different position. You can see what I mean in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TI25YzFNyU

What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known limitation of corona scatter?

I'm using Corona 6 on 3ds Max 2020. I've already tried to enable the 'temporal consistency' setting, but that didn't change anything.

Yes, it also happens with the 'Merge (max default)', but I discovered that in the settings of the Connecter plugin you can make another option visible which is called 'Merge Original (max default)' and that does import the corona scatter correctly. I will also report the bug to the Connecter team as you mentioned Romullus.

Hi Maru, after testing some more I discovered that the issue is created by the Connecter app from Design Connected which I'm using to manage my asset library. When merging a file using their interface it strips the links to the linked files. Thanks for the help anyway!

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Merge Corona Scatter into other file > source objects deleted

« on: 2020-11-23, 14:25:36 »

Hi all,

I'm using Corona for three years now and I'm very happy with it. In the latest version of Corona (6) I am no longer able to merge a Corona Scatter object correctly into another file. I thought this was possible in the previous versions, but I'm not entirely sure.

I have a library of scattered plants etc and when I import a Corona Scatter object, it is missing the linked source objects: the lines on which the plants are scattered and the plants themselves. When I merge, I make sure that I also import these source objects. I'm using 3ds Max 2020.

Is this a bug in the recent version of Corona renderer or am I doing something wrong?

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Re: Which V-Ray feature should we bring to Corona?

« on: 2017-08-28, 12:18:51 »

Don't know V-ray indepht neither, but any kind of "sketch/toon" shader (for ArchViz) would be extremely welcome :)

I second that, a toon shader would be really usefull for us ArchViz users.
