Hi, i try to install the 1.4 version and got this error on 3dsmax 2017:

>> MAXScript MacroScript Compile - C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\usermacros\Corona Renderer-Corona_tweaks.mcr, offset 0; Exception:
-- Unknown system exception <<

A little testing update for compability with new corona version (I don't have a paid license on working pc).

Changes are:
-Removed unused VFB spinners
-New nik684's Batch material Editor (version 1.7)

I have an idea in mind to create buttons for quickly assigning different material Editor custom objects (like C4D users already have) with different scale (50cm, 200cm and 10m in diameter), different substance (solid surface, liquid and cloth).
Too bad i'm not that experienced in creating nice shaderballs, so any help is very appriciated.

I did a small update to fix error message on 3dsmax start, when the default production renderer is not set to Corona.
In this case, you'll have your rendering settings automatically saved in PreviousRndrStngs.rps preset, then it will switch production renderer to Corona and load tweaker.

Also, updated Batch Material Editor to latest version.

How to install:
Extract zip to your 3dsmax scripts folder, drag&drop "register_Corona_Tweaks.ms" file to any 3dsmax  viewport, then Customize -> Customize user interface -> Toolbars -> Corona Renderer -> drag and drop "Corona Renderer tweaker" button to your toolbar.

Thank you very much for this tool!
Would it be possible to fix Show Diffuse Maps button so it will support maps which are connected to the diffuse slot via other maps (CoronaAO for example)

Thanks _)

I tried to implement your request, and not all things are working for now (triplanarX map doesn't show texture by maxscript command).
Anyway, this is what you asked for, just place it in scripts/CoronaRenderer folder.

[Alina Hramyka]

thank you )
I'm trying to make it separate macros to use as the toolbar button with indication (like in your tool) but not so strong in the maxscript
could you please help me there?

[vansan]

Yes.
