Hi, I have tested Corona 12 and I have some comments to share but I dont know where to put them.
Should I put here or as General topic?
Should I put all the Ideas in one Post or every single one in a different topic?
I ask to find out what works best for you

Dear Corona Support Team,
SAME PROBLEM HERE We have been satisfied users of Corona versions 9 and 10. However, after updating to Corona 12, we have encountered numerous issues. Specifically, we are experiencing frequent fatal errors in 3ds Max, causing the program to close automatically. This problem persists when we attempt to open our previously working 3ds Max files in the new version of Corona 12, significantly affecting our production and deadlines.

Hi Maru, Im also having a lot of crashes working with Corona 12, this have never happened before, first I tought it was from forestpack and railclone beta but all minidumps says that the problem its from CoronaMax_release-2025.dll and it happens with everything, loading an image in the VFB, editing a material, working with IPR, editing objects, etc.

Im attaching a file of one of those crashes, Ill try to upload my scene to the link provided for further analysis. Hope you can catch something.

mmmm could it be something related to max ray depth? Could you check the value, a couple of versions ago someone ask me why his glass material changed from one version to other and that was it, it might help to check it

+1 bring please the smile back, or give an option to activate it in system settings.

Ill give a +1 to restore the progress icon, but for the love of god, dont use the smiley face, it looks really cheap, the first thing that came in my mind when I started using Corona was "is this a beta? Am I using a pirate version?" Instead you could use the Corona logo, it looks really cool and it could show a more professional image rather than the face.

Sorry, I didn't get it. Are you using V-Ray or Corona in your problematic scene?

Im using V-Ray

Umm... The above message contradicts itself at least twice.

Like I said, the objects that came from Corona have been converted to Vray, I use 2 maps (Corona Color correct and Corona Select) in a couple of Vray materials, I normaly use this maps and havent had this issue before.

In a prior comment you said "Loading Corona Assets" is not necessarily related to Corona, Perhaps what im missing is the definition of Corona assets, like I said when using Prune Scene, it deleted the Corona assets messages, according to this it removes garbage from older versions of Corona, HDCache, missing Luts.

Yes, sure, but please do not use the forum for this. Do it here and please do attach the answers to my above questions/uncertainties: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Ok I have already sent this file to research and development a couple of weeks, the ticket is 252693, hope this helps.

Hi Maru
Im having this issue in a vray scene, im not using any kind of Corona assets, only a couple of maps (corona color correct and corona select)
I didnt have this kind of behavior before when using Corona Maps.
However I use assets that use Corona materials (they have been converted)
I always clean my files with Prune Scene and SiNi Forensic to clean some garbage, the first run it detected corona assets that was deleted and never showed again, but still i get that "loading corona assets" message when opening the scene
Could I send the file to you to go further investigations?
I have sent it Vray in the forum but I havent received any kind of answer

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Interactive Rendering limit

« on: 2024-06-11, 19:31:33 »

Hi Aram
Believe me, I have tried to get familiar with Corona over the years, and simply I dont like it too much
Im just asking if you can add some features that i think it will improve Corona so Vray users could get more atracted to it, but ok, i have already discussed this kind of suggestions before and developers doesnt seem to like some ideas, ok i tried, cheers.

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Image upscaling factor below 1.0

« on: 2024-06-11, 19:22:16 »

Hi Maru, maibe the word "upscale" its confused
The upscaling its just zooming the window, what I meant is to increment the resolution of the image like the VFB of Vray does, in there you can render at 10% of  the render size or 150% max

Hi Maru
Im enjoying the newest VFB, could we have an upscaling above 1.0?
Sometimes its very handy to upscale resolution, using a "real zoom" like in Vray from the VFB would be very nice too, im not very used to use the 2d Pan Zoom Mode especially if I want to analize the materials in detail.

Hi Aram
Like I said, I dont know how it would be the behaivior of the passes, it always will deppend of the scene, sometimes 10 passes will be more than enough or it would require more, having an specific time or noise level I could know when its gonna stop so render history can be saved automatically, instead of waiting for i dont know how much time would take to finish the rest of the passes.

And for the interactive tab, well if many users are use to it, it doesnt mean that they would apreciate the change, I know alot of Corona users that doesnt even know where are some of the settings, especially because they dont use it, they doesnt even know that we can assign an automatic saving for the render history or that you can change the tooltips langauge or many other of the settings that are "hidden" in the system tab. For what I have seen many users are very happy of what u give them specially when you dont need to click on anything, in my case I like having everything in order.

Im more a Vray user but with the newest daily I wanted to give it a try and I loved what u have done for this version, I would like Corona to improve so we can have a better experience using it, because I ussually havent.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Quad Scripts reappear

« on: 2024-06-11, 01:06:21 »

Hi
something that keeps bothering me is that no matter what, some of the Corona quad scripts always reappear, even in 3ds Max 2025 where menu editor has been remade and now every other plugin script can be deleted but not Corona, in previous versions, even Chaos Phoenix and some Vray scripts couldnt be deleted, I always create a custom menu and I have Corona in another quad, but "open corona Converter" and "open corona proxy exporter" always reappear

What could I do to remove them?
