Corona Material/Lights Converter (legacy)

[chombor]

Every time when i launch 3ds max, corona converter autostart, before scene load, how to fix that? very annoying

Make sure the script isn't inside your Scripts/Startup folder.

Did you maybe put the converter script into the startup folder?
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 201x\scripts\Startup
If not, can you make a screenshot of the files listed there?

[chombor]

at now launched a global search script_name for the disk "C" and remove it, but it still autostart

CoronaRenderer_InitScripts remove too - not affected

I know! when i drag'n'drop code conv. from listener to toolbar it cashed or etc (i am not coder) and startup as unsaved project. What you think? 

[racoonart]

When you do things like that, new files are created here:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\201x - 64bit\ENU\usermacros
It's quite possible that it does weird stuff there because it's not meant to be used like that (the code drag and drop thiung). There should be one or more files named "DragAndDrop-...".mcr there and I guess one of them is causing the problem you have. Try to find and delete it.

It was SO close, but fail again, now i think maybe something remained in UI settings

it's not meant to be used like that

lol, but it use anyway, whole point of 3ds max ;)

[racoonart]

Well, DragAndDrop-Macro1 has the right size, I'm pretty sure it's the converter code. Try to remove it and see if it starts up normally.

Apart from that I do not know what could be causing it. There is no way it could happen "naturally" so I would guess you have changed something somewhere =/

I told you, i'll  remove all folder, but without results =(

i will try to reinstall corona first, then max. May i expect any problems with the license?

The SaaS-based licenses are designed exactly for this purpose. You may simply close 3ds Max or remove the active license on one PC, and enable it on the other one by logging in, like to any other web-based service.

Another BIG problem, how to make CoronaMtl to Default material at startup?

or maybe just make startup script from a part of C.Conv

[romullus]

Saving maxstart file should do it.

it's not work for me =)

viewport and other stuff i saves(!) to C:\Users\%username%\Documents\3dsMax\scenes but not matlib, another path i will try is C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\defaults\ +/- MAX - not working

Hi,

Just have one issue. Could you include conversion from Mental Ray Pro Materials? They are still used by some of us with older scenes/materials (these were there before Autodesk Materials)

Thanks for reporting :). This is due to the new changes in the daily builds and is already fixed in my not-yet-released converter version. I'll release a new version in the next couple of days.
