[Max] I need help! / Corona 11 / Max 22 DR Parsing Restarting Loop

« on: 2024-03-17, 17:14:30 »

Hi -

I've searched the forums for previous issues, whcih seemed to plague early Corona versions more than newer ones. At this point none of the fixes from those posts seem to have worked, but I may be overlooking something. I have the 3 logs attached here (Corona, DR, Max).

Backstory: I use my main computer and two slaves for DR. I haven't used the slaves since upgrading my main computer for Corona 11. I believe they were last used during some build of Corona 9? I updated both slaves to the same builds of both Max and Corona as my main computer. Since I've been needing to use DR the last few days, both slaves get stuck in a parsing and restarting loop. I've tried large files (1.5gb) to small files (a few MB). All paths to all drives are shared and connected. The slaves use the same plugins as the main computer. I'm at a loss at the moment.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks--

[Max] Bug Reporting / Black and White Masking Issue - Stroked/Halo Edges

« on: 2018-04-10, 20:17:35 »

Hoping the more technical-minded here can help me out with a really strange issue I'm having. If this isn't corona related then maybe I'll take it straight to Autodesk, haha. I haven't cross-tested in V-Ray.

ANYHOW

While doing product render tests, I've noticed that using an image for the mask of a layered or mix material gives an incorrect stroke appearance or halo of sorts around the text. I've tested this every way I know how - Using a white/black jpg, tiff, png, inverting the white/black jpg, tiff, png, testing all the different filtering methods, blur settings, as well as gamma changes, corona bitmap, max standard bitmap, corona layered material and standard mix material. Each time, same result.

HERE'S THE KICKER!

When its a white background (bottle) and black text, the sharpness reads perfectly, just as in the real photo. Both of those examples are attached here...

Anyone have any thoughts as to what this could be, or has anyone run into a similar issue in the past??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
