[Max] I need help! / Corona does not load on Max startup
« on: 2021-04-20, 20:21:48 »
I have a technical question about the new Corona not loading up in Max on startup. It doesn't throw errors during startup, but the renderer does not show in the available renderers in Max's render dialog.
Note: I recently upgraded from an ancient 1.7 version to the latest. I do still use 3ds Max 2014, but I also tried Max 2018 (the latest version I own), same result.
What I do is a custom deployment of Corona (or any plugin that is):
- include all the Corona DLLs in the system path on Max startup
- link my custom Corona .DLR and .DLT plugins in the startup.ini which I call on startup
- load the Corona init script on startup
When Max starts, I see it loading the .DLR and .DLT plugins, it doesn't throw any errors, but I simply cannot pick Corona from the available renderers.
I haven't troubleshoot much further as I don't work in the VFX anymore and only sparingly use Max and Corona for simple viz work for my primary business (hence the old Max version and a very overdue upgrade to the latest Corona), I just hope there is a TD here that knows what's up and would point me into right direction.
Thanks a lot in advance!
