[Max] General Discussion / Scene Lags on Upding Views at 82%

« on: 2025-01-27, 16:39:35 »

Hi,

Is this a max or Corona issue.

I have a blank file, opens in like 30 seconds from a cold start with max.

I then have a simple scene with a few thousand polys and some jpgs but then when I try and open said file it takes and extra minute to open. Theres nothing fancy in the scene. Why does it take so long? I thought it was because I was opening on the network but I put everything locally and its the same issue.

[Max] I need help! / 3DS MAx 2025 Colour Management

« on: 2024-10-07, 16:26:15 »

I need some help please.

So I am finding a few issues with 3DS MAx 2025 and Corona 12.

They are:

Renders look dark in preview rendering but look fine when saved out.

They can also look OK in windows picture viewer but when opening them into InDesign which we use for our presentations the renders are really dark.

How do I fix this?

Our 3DS Max 2025 is set up to Gamma 2.2. Is there a setting that needs to change or something in the frame buffer I need to add?

I used to be from max 2024 renders looked the same no matter what you used to view them.

[Max] I need help! / Using C4D Corona Material in 3DSMAX

« on: 2023-10-04, 09:28:55 »

Is it possible to use a pre made C4D corona material in 3DS Max?

I was on the roadmap was back in v6 there was a card for C4D to 3DSMax comaptibility?

I only ask as I am finding some really good Corona materials but they have all been made in C4D.

Many Thanks,

[Max] I need help! / Cant Access License Server

« on: 2023-04-17, 11:12:26 »

I know this is the correct place to post this but the Chaos help us dreadful, no one to call and waiting for a reply is costing my team money.

Its happened to two users now.

I've uninstall Corona deleted the license server files, reinstalled it all, it just keeps f**king saying it cant access license server log in, but I AM logged in, but when I say take me to the license server it takes me to a page which doesn't show that machine as logged it.

This is seriously stressing me out and I try and do it offline but I cant find the csr files anywhere.

I seriously need some help

[Max] General Discussion / Corona 8 License Server Issues - Please Help

« on: 2022-05-09, 16:20:07 »

So our team of 8 visualisers has upgraded to Corona 8. The problem we are having is that if I open a brand new max scene, switch the rendered to Corona, it lets me render but if I go into the Scene tab it says 'Chaos Corona license not found. Please go to System tab to activate it'.

Why is this happening?

If I open any file we have already worked on it renders fine and lets me get to all the setting but if I do it with a new blank Max file it wont.

I go to the Chaos log in it says we only have 3 active licenses but this cant be true. We have 8 users all of which user and render with Corona at the same time. Can I ask what the hell is going ion? Am I misunderstanding something? We should have 8 individual licenses not only 3 and if we have three how can all 8 users render at the same time? Surely that cant happen?

This has all gone pear shaped since it moved to the my.chaos.com and its frustrating as I cant make head nor tails of it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Under the Licensing Tab it says we have 3 Corona 3DS Max Interface licences and 10 Render not licenses.

Many Thanks,

Rich

[Max] General Discussion / how Does the FairSaaS License work?

« on: 2020-08-03, 12:18:52 »

Just so I understand this correctly.

Each subscription is for 1 user only, but the license is floating so can be used by anywho is loged into said account? Just not at the same time?

Many Thanks,

[Max] I need help! / Lacking Realism

« on: 2018-09-21, 18:31:16 »

Hi all,

I've been creating an interior scene in 3DSMax and Corona. I'm using a HDRI map to light the scene and a lot of the materials I am using are from the Corona Material library or modified materials from the libaray but my render just seems to lack that realism. My question is what am I missing?

Here is a high res test render, I didnt denoise it but just a quick render to show you where I am at.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Many Thanks,

Rich
