[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,

Rich

[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?

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
