Noticed that the Tone Mapping in the framebuffer seems to reset in my scene. Has happened a couple of times now when I open the scene, start the interactive render and wonder why it just renders white - then notice Tone mapping settings has reset to the default ones and all values to default too - any one else?
RC2 build, max 2023.

Hi,

To everyone experiencing the issue with corrupted textures, could you send me the following to https://upload.chaos.com/u/manns@corona-renderer.com

  • The name of the map which has the problem
  • The texture stats file which is located here: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\CoronaRenderer\textureStats.csv"
  • If possible the texture cache itself: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\CoronaRenderer\ImageTextureCache"
  • And lastly the scene if possible.

Thanks for your patience and help with diagnosing this issue :)

Rowan

Will do this next time the bug happens :)

Hi,

Do you know which version of Corona the scenes were created in?

Secondly, are you able to send over any of these scenes?

Cheers,

Rowan

Testing CR9 RC 2 with max 2021 currently, and it seems that using 'Show with original postprocessing' in the VFB history switches tone mapping off completely.. or even darkens output, not sure, but it's definitely not using the tone mapping nodes used when image was saved to history.
This is an older v7 scene and tone mapping was not reset, maybe that's the problem. But in any case, it should work with whatever the tone mapping config was when the image was saved to history.

Can confirm, it's like wrong gamma or something. I had this yesterday on clean new scene, so nothing to do with legacy or reset.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the "textureStats.csv" file you mentioned in your post.

I'm also attaching a video here where you can see two problems:

1) The image render out dull or darker in the VFB at some resolutions.
2) The image renders out completely dark in the VFB at full resolution.

This is not gonna be easy to to hunt because once you close the scene and open it again, the problem gets solved temporally. After that you have to wait for it to randomly appear again. Really hope you can figure it out. If you need something else from me just let me know.

Thanks for reporting this. Reproduced here (Internal ID=977754104)

@Basshunter
Thank you for the extra information and the scene itself! It is a really frustrating issue, I still can't reproduce it here and I'm trying to think of some other bits of information that we might be missing.

Which version and build # of windows are you using?

Cheers,

Rowan

Guys, why the Pattern: Grid option in ChaosScatter is now missing? It's kinda useful, especially fur rugs, etc.

edit: it's visible now. Don't know what happened..

Hey!

Clouds weren't in that daily build, they were introduced later.

You should install RC3 :)

You can find it here:

Installed RC4 and instantly got a weird bug. After every save of any file Max would crash. I'd get the error which asks to attempt to save a backup.

Reverted back to RC3 and the problem does not persist.

Max 2023.1, Windows 10. Corona RC4

Didn't know a R4 had been released. I guess the Corona Bitmap issue could not be fixed, right? :C
