[Max] General Discussion / Corona on a laptop

« on: 2023-04-07, 00:34:28 »

Is corona designed to run as efficient on a laptop as it it on a desktop? I use a MSI with a 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900H @ 2.50GHz   2.50 GHz and render times are slow. Even when I DR to a old dual quad Xeon desktop, 4k render times are about 4 hours on a heavy model.

[Max] General Discussion / Sending sampling mask to slaves timed out. Try to increase synchronization time

« on: 2022-07-19, 23:38:34 »

First time I've seen this error message when using DRserver. I'm using 3ds MAX 2023 and Corona 8. Does increasing the time fix the issue?

« on: 2022-07-01, 01:22:56 »

So I'm working on a small model adding trees using FP. I'm in 3ds MAX and I'm using Corona 8.  When I got the material section of FP, making adjustments freezes MAX while in IR mode. Anyone else running into this issue? 3ds MAX 2023, latest forest pack, Corona 8. Win 10, on a MSI gs66 laptop.

[Max] General Discussion / Corona 8 License issue

« on: 2022-04-19, 01:33:51 »

Just updated to Corona 8.  When I access 3ds MAX 2022 and switch to Corona, It shows that there is no license. Before I would get a license popup window that allowed me to activate my license. Now I select Activate License and when I try it crashes 3ds MAX. Thoughts?

Will this be included in the next release of Corona.  I've been using it in Vray and it's a great way to speed up entourage workflow.

[Max] General Discussion / 4k exteriors

« on: 2020-02-25, 01:25:29 »

What do you guys tend to do for clean exteriors...run 40 plus passes or 4-3 noise level. I've been rendering my 4096 image with 40 passes and initially they were looking pretty good, but the closer I looked the more noise I noticed.  Primary and Secondary set to Path tracing.

[Max] General Discussion / [solved] Corona 5 DR failing

« on: 2020-02-21, 05:46:09 »

Running a render using DR and even though it seems to be rendering the image with the rendernodes, when I click on the DR tab is show the slaves in red and says it failed to connect.  It was green before but now red.  I checked my slaves and the drserver says rendering. Anyone run into this issue?  3ds MAX 2019.

Is Corona 5 slower? Or is it just me?  I thought it was supposed to be faster than previous version.

[Max] I need help! / Tips for creating fly through with moving objects

« on: 2020-01-28, 00:01:24 »

Can someone direct me to a good tut showing how to efficiently ti calculate gi for moving objects in a Corona animation?  In vray, I just unchecked reuse irradiance map on my moving objects and GI would calculate on the fly for those objects only without a hit on render times.

Thanks,

[Max] I need help! / Picking Point of focus VFB

« on: 2020-01-16, 20:43:01 »

So when I'm in the Corona VFB and right click, I don't get the option to select point of focus.  It only works in the Viewport Real-time viewer?  Is that by design?  I looked at the feature video and it shows that it should work for both.  3ds MAX 2019 and Corona 4 Hotfix 1.

[Max] General Discussion / Corona 4 and autosave

« on: 2019-12-13, 23:21:08 »

I've been running into some file lock ups when running the interative mode and 3ds MAX autosaving. I always have to kill my session when it happens, which means if I forget to save or a autoback file is not saved, I loose work.

Anyone else running into this?
