Daily builds version 2

That's odd, here's how Corona toolbar is looking on my PC. 3ds max 2016 sp3

Please, can you take a look to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\UI_ln\Icons and IconsDark folders whether you have installed toolbar resource files there? Namely: CoronaToolbar_16a.bmp, CoronaToolbar_16i.bmp, CoronaToolbar_24a.bmp, and CoronaToolbar_24i.bmp files. Do they contain proper orange icons (or their alpha channels) as in the attachment?

Do you use the toolbar from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXTPlodahrA, by any chance? There could be conflict in some names.

if the icon toolbar looks okay in another higher dpi monitor, then i think just let it be as it is. i'm fine with it, or ill use my own.
My monitor is 17" with low DPI 1366 x 768 px (i know it's not cgi maker standard, but this is all i have)
system text size is 100%.

I will take a look into it. It has not been tested it on such low resolution so far. Thanks.

I am not able to reproduce it. Do you use some special non-standard Max or Windows/Aero settings? Some custom UI scheme perhaps?

Hi Mike, i'm sure i never change any windows UI default setting.
Or, just tell me which settings i need to check to make sure if there is some things set in wrong way.

I've checked and both folders contains your mentioned bitmaps with correct icons.

I don't use that toolbar, but i did "borrow" some its elements for my own toolbar, including icons. That icons set has exactly the same name, but are located in C:\Users\*username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\usericons However it doesn't explain why your toolbar took one icon from debris maker script :]

I don't think that Corona Toolbar icons are bad, but i like the last 3 icons (grey with yellow accents) from example in this post more: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=17973.msg120461#msg120461

That's the point I think, the orange ones are bad for my point of view and old stylish while the other ones are great but as far as I know, the yellow / green ones, which are from the toolbar I use right now, are not icons of the official one.

Thanks,

I am talking about the orange ones attached here...

thank4s for the reply and the information..
Which of these versions should I install?
(the foam support is scheduled in the upcoming version of the daily or is not scheduled at all in the version 2 ? )

It should not matter whether you install PhoenixFD for Vray 3.0 and 4.0, both version should work with Corona.
As for the Foam, we are not yet sure if we will be able to support it in 2.0. Unfortunately, it will require a lot of work for both Corona and PhoenixFD developers.

[mike288]

If your Corona Toolbar has more than 10 buttons, there is probably a conflict - the new toolbar from latest daily build has mixed into your/3rd party toolbar having the same name. Icons could be wrong etc. We will try to solve the issue.

corona 1.7.3 its the same as yesterday build? also notice some delay on material editor around 3 builds till today.

[TomG]

No, Corona 1.7.3 is 1.7.2 with the Corona Camera changes. The daily build is Corona 2, so it has had the camera changes for a while (people asked for them to be back-ported to 1.7), plus all the other new stuff like Bokeh, toolbar, and everything else from the Corona Renderer 2 changelog :)

[VASLAVO]

thanks, will do some tests

@mike288, i renamed my icon set bitmap and now everything works just fine. However, now i can understand why others don't like the icons :] For me it's mostly due to colour intensity, it draws too much attention. Also it would be nice if the toolbar could be customizable, i don't need all the buttons it provides and would like to remove some.

It is customizable, using the same 3dsmax interface as all other toolbars. Or is that not working for you? There is bug in max 2018 that prevents toolbars to be customized, solution is to use more stable 3dsmax version
