[Max] I need help! / Re: 3ds Max 2023 slow startup

« on: 2024-01-11, 13:58:39 »

Just had the same issue with 2024 and Corona 11 on two workstations. 3ds max took ages to load up from a PCI4 SSD. It also caused crashes after loading up. Deleting ENU folder didn't help, not even reinstalling max, corona, vray. I spent hours on this issue before I found this post. The lic server at the office was down which caused the problem.

I have had similar problems with the license before but it never slowed 3ds max down!

Anyone who has a similar problem give a try to this.

Not sure which version it has at the moment but it gives an insane result! I render my animation in 8K with it. The average render time per frame is 6 mins with 3900x machines! It is a complex aircraft interior scene, basically a plastic tube inside with a low light level. It definitely needs some love (fixing) in post and I had to tweak the materials but it worth it. Usually with have 30mins or over per frame render time with these scenes.

[Max] General Discussion / Intel Denoiser prefiltering

« on: 2023-05-29, 21:51:12 »

Hi there,

I wonder what version of Intel denoiser is used in Corona 9. I am on Corona 9 hotfix1 now.

Does the current version use pre-filtering? Is there a way to turn prefiltering on if it is not on?

I get a similar splotchy effect like it is on the example images of 1.3 or 1.4 without prefiltering on the link below. Any idea how to fix this?
