[Max] I need help! / Re: Render multiples camera matching

« Last post by Frood on Today at 17:19:28 »

CoronaCamera environment overrides are in progress and this should be easy to do in future :)

This alone will not. In almost every camera matching scene, you additionally need at least one shadow catcher material using the current background image for matte objects. This cannot be covered by a camera environment override. Additionally, think of camera matched/tracked animation.

In the meantime, there may be different workarounds with 3ds Max Scene and State sets.

Either I have/had crashes (yes, with CoronaCamera parameter block queries in the call stack of the crashing thread) or had them stop working midst project doing weird stuff. Additionally rendering out multiple shots in one go is not possible without making things complicated. So I humbly returned to the workflow described above after each try :)


Good Luck

I think, we are talking about rendering the scene with corona and the particles separately in Redshift

Gallery / Klein Office (Animation + Stills)

« Last post by viz.art on Today at 12:45:17 »

Hi guys!

I want to present you with a set of still images and an animation created for the project we took care of a while ago.
We were responsible for designing the coworking space and preparing a set of CGI and motion.
The main idea was to emphasize the existing ceilings and use their rhythm as a matrix for a couple of other finishings.
Our goal was to create a welcoming space with a dose of refreshing energy from greenery that would be helpful for creativity.

More images and info at my Behance Profile

Software used: 3ds Max, Chaos Corona, Chaos Phoenix, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve Studio

Hi, what version are you using? It's working here. Perhaps you can share your scene also?

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Bug with Physical Materials and the Asset Browser

« Last post by John_Do on Today at 12:19:25 »

Since there was a Hotfix to Corona 11 and also the new 2024.4 had some promising new feature, I've installed both and tried out our beloved little bugs. Seems like the bug somehow changed . Now, the color stays after re-loading it from the Asset Browser (most of the time), but the Bump value still is replaced with the full 100%, instead of the previously set value before loading it into the database. Just for a quick update on the topic from my side.

Ufff, I guess I will keep 2024.1 installed just to save assets 💀 Really a shitty era for software reliability

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Multi Pass Psd is not saved after render completion

« Last post by John_Do on Today at 12:14:01 »

Still here in 11H1, it's annoying as hell as the C4D PV is the only way to save layered EXR.

Could you guys fix it in the next release, or add layered exr support to the Corona VFB, whatever which one is faster to fix?

« Last post by frv on Today at 12:13:50 »

Version 12 is unworkable, stalls for ever opening files. Hopefully a fix is on the way.

Just went back to Coronarender release 11. 4Gb file opens in seconds now.

hey mate - im using max 24 with the last official corona release.

hi team - im still getting that issue when in IR mode, the IR keeps in this motion UNTIL i click off screen (ie another window program) and then IR resumes.  It seems to be with forest pack objects.

Hi, which version of 3ds Max are you using? I am asking this question because we had some similar reports in the past and it always happened with 3ds Max 2022. If you are using this version, one solution would be to update to a newer one.
Also, did it start happening only after you installed a daily build? It never happens with Corona 11 HF2?
Other than that, I can only recommend submitting a new support ticket and sharing the scene with us: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
