[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: Crash with OSL wParallax

« on: 2022-11-18, 08:44:00 »

ive also been having some issues with this i suspect, but seemingly only on my computer in the office. opening many scenes with wParallax the first render renders fine, then if i stop and start a render it crashes 90% of the times if it contains wParallax planes. If i hide the wParallax in the scene it seems to work fine.
Not sure but i think its happening if i have the wParallax material in my material editor visible.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Viewport extremely stuttery when IES is missing for light sources

finally figured out a bug thats been a plague in some scene. if the corona light is missing ies file the viewport becomes extremely stuttering if the corona lights that are missing the IES file is visible in viewport. as soon as the light is not visible in the viewport its fine or the IES is removed the viewport is fine. Very weird bug.

[Max] General Discussion / Converted V-ray material self-illumination

« on: 2022-05-27, 11:40:13 »

Don't know if this is a bug or what but very often when converting vray materials self illumination is "ON" with value 1. its not visible but you end up with thousands of light sources depending on geometry.

Recently had an issue where the scene kept crashing with memory leak a few minutes into rendering, after many hours of troubleshooting boiled it down to a whole bed scene from 3dsky converted from vray had self illumination turned on. problem solved after turning self illumination to 0 in all the materials manually. both in corona 7 and 8

If anything is could it be possible to add force self illumination to 0 checkbox in the corona scene converter?

windows display language: English (united states), region and regional format: Norway, Norwegian.

thanks

Hey,

When I change my region format to Norwegian I get the same issue as you.

So can you change your region to English and see if this helps?

Search -> Control Panel -> Clock and Region -> Region -> Change to English

Thanks,

Rowan

thank you!

changing this fixed the issue, however this changes the formatting from our native way in windows, max and other software. i assume this is a bug and can/will be fixed?

Can you try these things one by one?

1) Install NET Framework 4.8 - https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net48
2) Install Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 - https://www.microsoft.com/pl-pl/download/details.aspx?id=48145
3) Fully update your Windows and then restart your computer (use the regular Windows Update option; if you are using Windows 7 or 8, the best solution is upgrading to Windows 10)
4) Fully update your 3ds Max. The easiest method is using the Autodesk Desktop App, which will do it for you automatically.

Let me know if that helped, and if not, I will send you more steps.

Unfortunately at this point we can only troubleshoot like that, because we are not familiar with the error. ​

Max still stuck on launching coronamaxutils2019.dlt on splash screen even after corona 6 official release... anything else i can do? or am i doomed to use corona 5..?

edit: this is on a few months old pc running threadripper 3970x. only has max 2019 installed with all updates, latest windows pro updates, a few normal plugins, Sini, forestpack, railclone, floor generator etc.

Now tried on other machines at the office and so far it has only worked on 2 out of 6 pc's, and thats the only pcs running an old intel cpu rest is threadrippers. no idea if that is relevant

Hi,

Can you please generate a minidump from 3ds Max when it is frozen in this state and send it to us?

Instructions on how to do this can be found: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000524006#crashes2
