[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: CoronaVolumeMlt in Volume Global Material cause strange effect on opacity maps

« on: 2015-08-05, 16:27:53 »

This is known. Go to F10 > Performance > Devel/Experimental and change "enviro distance" to a much higher value. You will probably need to tweak your volume material after that.

Xref models might be the cause. Can you try removing them just for test, or merging into scene? We've already had some reports where xrefs would do ugly things.

It looks like different gamma is applied. Do you have gamma settings configured exactly like this? https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000515647

Are you sure there are no other kinds of materials in the scene? You can check that by going to material editor > get material > scene materials. Or you can also use Corona Converter script.

I will check this later and if it is reproduced, it will be reported as a bug.

Can you show how you are using batch render? Are you rendering from different cameras? Are all of them the same? CameraMod involved?

Any chance you could send the scene (or another one with this problem) over to our helpdesk?

Dude, no problem! None of us is all-knowing! This forum taught me A LOT of things. For example, that sun doesn't get bigger as it sets down (which is kind of sad and kills some magic).

Is there displacement on any material in that scene? (if you are not sure, you can untick displacement in F10 > common > options and then see if there is any difference in rendering )

Just random questions until any official solution is found:
-are you sure you are NOT running DrServer on the master PC?
-have you tried with 1.2?

Ok, after running the rendering please gather the files submitted by node PCs and inspect them (if they all rendered fine, maybe some of them are completely black or white, maybe some of them are missing textures, lights, etc). You can also pack them and send here, or better to our support portal, or convert to jpg and send if they are very big.

Can you do this?

1. On master PC: go to Render Setup > System > Distributed Rendering and check "[DEBUG] Retain EXRs" checkbox

2. On master PC: start distributed rendering

3. On master PC: stop it after at least 1 pass

4. On master PC: hover your mouse cursor over "[DEBUG] Retain EXRs" to see path to the folder where the recieved images will be stored

5. On master PC: go to that location and inspect the EXR files recieved from each render node

...and post the results here? (preferably in jpg)

I haven't recovered from watching the intro yet. It's delightfully wtfish. Now compare it with the Autodesk Stingray one.

NEVER disable gamma when working with Corona. See:

[Max] I need help! / Re: DR Server rendering on machine with newer version of max?

« on: 2015-08-04, 11:26:07 »

It is best to use the same versions of:
-Max
-Corona
-DrServer
-BACKBURNER
on all of the PCs taking part in DR. Otherwise bad things may happen.
