Corona Scatter Crashed 3DS Max

[zavikus]

Hello! I have a problem with Corona (1.6) Scatter in 1D-mode: any changes can crash 3DS Max (2014).

Hi, can you provide us with exact step by step instructions of what you are doing and what happens?
When it crashes, please create a minidump file and send it to us: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000524006-how-to-report-issues-

I just create Corona Scatter, change 2D to 1D. Select a spline to distribute on it, and then select some objects (in some cases these were autos in other tree models). And then absolutly randomly Max crashed on any other changes, e.g. changing name of Scatter or Rotation, or any other manipulation.

Corona 1.6.1 - problem still exists

Looks like the crash is in Corona Scatter indeed, however the developers will need to take a closer look at this.
I was not able to reproduce this issue.

I had the exact same problem on 2014 with this one for example: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,16243.0.html .. but also every simple thing crashed with max 2014 - corona 1.6.1. Maybe a service pack update/downgrade would solve it.. haven't tried it yet

On 2016 scattering works fine.

Same here, corona scatter, max 2014 crashes continuously.

@zavikus, @bulyfabi, @urbion, and possibly others with this problem - could you please update your 3ds Max to the newest version available (all updates and hotfixes possible), and generate new minidumps for us? So far we were not able to read any usable data from the provided minidumps.

I updated everything it still crashes, did you find anything? I've already sent minidump. Corona 1.5.2 works just fine, tested all scatter features..

[maru]

We have received some minidumps, so stay tuned...

It seems that this happens only in Max 2014, so upgrading Max would be one solution for now.

[maru]

Solution to this Max 2014 + scatter crashing is already in our internal builds, and it will be included in the 1.7 release.

fixed

Thanx! I can't test daily builds on work, so waiting for 1.7 release  :)
