[Max] Bug Reporting / Forest Pack ghosting when using Corona DR

« on: 2023-11-03, 20:03:48 »

Hello. We are using 3ds max 2023 + Corona 10 HF2 in our studio. We started encountering a strange bug when using DR. There is a weird ghosting effect with Forest objects (screenshots attached). When rendering the scene on each machine individually, forests look the same, no shifting. It happens in all scenes with almost every forest. There's no such issue when rendering animations with Deadline.

Fixes we tried so far:
-Updating Corona and FP to the latest versions
-Double checking asset files not being lost on all machines
-Switching forest objects into custom edit mode
-Trying to find out which machine sends wrong passes. Turned out it happens on any combination of master and slave nodes.

Nothing helped.

Thank you very much!

Just out of pure curiosity, if you don't mind sharing, why do you need it? :)

I wanted to use it in my nickname in the Telegram messenger. Ended up making one by myself in AE :)

Hello everyone. Is there a way to extract the animated smiley face icon (the indicator of interactive rendering)? I tried searching the web, tried searching corona and max resources, found nothing.

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: CMasking_ID behavior when rendering animation

If you are using Forest Pack with "limit to camera" option or some other feature that changes the number of objects in the scene (hides some objects outside of the camera view, etc), then this may be expected.

That makes sense, I've never thought of that. Thanks for your reply

[Max] Feature Requests / CMasking_ID behavior when rendering animation

Is there a way to preserve masks colors (besides material ID) for each frame when rendering animation? If not, then it would be great to see this feature in future releases. We're using Corona 7 hotfix 1.

Guys, if you use camera lock, try to disable it in render settings. That's exactly what helped me after months of frustration

I'm sorry if this issue has been discussed already, but searching the forum didn't give any results. The problem is that Corona renders non-baked RailClone objects as boxes. V-ray works fine. I tried to uncheck "use instancing engine" and still no positive results.
