[Max] I need help! / Material library can't be installed / corona5, max 19, windows10

« on: 2019-11-13, 15:46:45 »

Hello,
I try to install the new corona. Everything is fine during the installation, no error message.

Back in 3dsmax, i try to open the material library browser and an error appears saying:
" material Library is not installed. You have to run Corona installer again to install it. Make sure that the library is selected for installation".

I did it, again and again... it didn't work. I work on C:, path has never change since the begining (corona2) so i don't understand.
Last thing, everything was fine with the material library and corona4.

Thx community for your answer,
Damien

[Max] I need help! / Composite layer material ?

« on: 2016-02-28, 11:43:13 »

Hello floks,
I was watching a really good tutorial for archviz (Digital Tutors - Rendering Realistic Interiors in 3ds Max and V-Ray) and the guy (Ryan Parker) always use composite material with vray. Is there a way to do the same with corona? I mean, put a map in overlay mode and another in multiply mode... in one material?
I saw corona layer material but there is no option with blending mode.
Thanks for answers.
