Title: Phoenix FD - rendering ocean mesh with smoothing crashes max
Post by: Ink Visual on 2019-10-03, 23:53:20

Hi,
I'm not yet sure whether it's a problem with Corona or Phoenix FD itself but couldn't find anybody on Chaosgroup forum having this issue. I also cannot compare the behaviour in Vray as I don't have a license.
I created simple "moving ship in a water" simulation using liquid container which I then render in Ocean Mesh mode.
Everything is ok until I turn on Mesh Smoothing option with "Use Liquid Particles" enabled. It smoothes out water surface in the viewport but after pressing "render" MAX usually freezes or crashes.
I did try doing it on higher and lower resolution containers but this didn't seem to have any impact, both were crashing.

I'm using max 2020, latest Phoenix FD version, and Corona 4h1 (I tested most recent Corona daily too, with same issue).
I'd appreciate any help on this.

Can you send us the scene for testing? Can be just the problem PhoenixFD sim without the ship if needed :) https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000524006-how-to-report-issues-3ds-max

Hi,

This is a pretty old thread. Which versions of Corona, 3ds max and Phoenix are you using?

If possible please can you submit a scene. Instructions on how to do this can be found in my signature.

Cheers,

Rowan

Since this thread is pretty old, which versions of Corona and Phoenix are you using? If you are using some older versions, please try updating them to the newest ones as the first step.

I was able to locate 2 support tickets about this issue by two users.
In one case, the user stopped responding, so we could not fully understand what was happening or try to reproduce the issue.
In the second case, we were not able to reproduce the issue using the user-provided files and steps.

If you are able to reproduce this issue in the newest versions of Corona and Phoenix, please do let us know as we are interested in looking into this and making sure the Corona+Phoenix integration is as solid as possible.
