 RIP -
 I've grown my studio 3 people in this last year having been an avid supporter for 5.

You've not only lost my business but the business of my other team members.

I live in South Africa and this price increase is extornate. !

I've supported and used this software since early 2018.
Never failed or paused my payment once in that entire time.

This removal of value and insane price hike.
Has priced this software out of my means as a single freelancer. (especially when one needs to remember all the other plugins and monthly subs one needs to maintain as a business.)

Chaos scans is anaemic and near useless in a production workflow.

I am afraid as a 5 year customer you've lost me.
Greed and short sightedness have no doubt value lower user count in favour of higher subs.
As opposed to the smarter route of volume of users.

This will be my last month.

Hi Rowman.

Yeah its bizzare.
I've tried uninstalling Corona and reinstalling on both machines.
my licensed workstation seems to render things fine.
But via backburner or now having tried Pulze.
The same thing happens.

Renders will start and randomly finalize.
ignoring all limits.
I've tested with multiple scenes and all randomly stop.
None of it seems repeatable. but will always end early.

I've also tried reseting settings
clearing the fields and re-entering limits.
Still the same thing.

It's pretty frustrating since I am unable to use my render box to feed jobs too.
I was on a daily build for Cor6 with no issue.
Then when installing RC6 release version this issue began.

Thanks again.

Regards.

Hi I am having this same issue!

Scenes sometimes just renders 2 passes then denoises and completes.
Tried a bunch of things to try stop this.
Aside from constantly having to "resume" from last render.
But its random. I've had the same render render 2 passes then shot down. then render againl and reach 8 then shut down.
* With 4.5% noise and 80 Passes set.

This is madening since I have deadlines with multiple renders in Que.

Light often is about experimentation :- ). There is method to the madness (having a vision and reference, knowledge of certain setups,etc..) but ultimately, it might come by accident or try out method.

Have you read my article ? I do touch upon some of this. I will have more practical workshop into this in Mexico city next week and perhaps I will try to find time and distill that into something later.

Thanks very much for the reply and link.

It's much appreciated.
Will keenly look forward to the distilled info :)

Regards.

@Juraj
and to anyone else here.

 What is your preferred method / workflow to develop lighting / look setup?
I've bounced between using photographic principal and Global exposure.
( Having used Vray for years and switching to Corona this year. )

even though I am generally happy with the results I've achieved in my images.
I've never felt like there is a workflow I can commit to dependably.
Feeling a lot more like collective / experiential luck creatively as apposed to something more grounded in realism.
