[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Corona Renderer 6 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

Latest daily:
Failed to initialize the denoiser.
Unknown error (Details: Function "_rtBufferCreate" caught exception: Encountered a CUDA error: cudaDriver().CuDevicePrimaryCtxRetain( &context, dev.get() ) returned (999): Unknown) 

Ideas?

Hi,

I can only suggest re-installing Corona and the AI denoiser in this situation. What graphics card and driver do you have?

Sorry, my mistake then. Can i ask why it's not working in layered material? Is there some technical or other reasons?

Hi,

So yeah there is a technical reason for this, currently all of the materials are a form of the CoronaMtl with the exception of the HairMtl.
The LayeredMtl only supports the layering of CoronaMtls and their forms, which unfortunately the HairMtl is not so it cannot be used.

This is planned to be fixed at some point, but I don't have any timescale.

Cheers,

Rowan

It seams that in V6 hair material doesn't work if plugged into layered material. I was under impression that this setup worked previously, or am i wrong?

Hi Romullus,

We have looked into this. The hair material does not work with the layered material, this is intentional, and it didn't work with previous versions of Corona (I double checked with v4 and v5).

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Adaptive enviro sampler playground!

« on: 2020-03-02, 11:04:47 »

First test, with daylight, using the new Adaptive Sampler! There are definitely major improvements! Both images are rendered with Corona 6, I just changed the Environment Sampler, render time 10 mins.
With the new sampler, the noise level reaches a lower amount with fewer samples and it seems to bring more light inside. There are some fireflies, mainly in the shadows areas (under the coffee table and the sofa), that are not visible with the old sampler (NormalDep Compensated).

Hi,

Thanks for testing out the new sampler, would you be able to send over your scene? We want to look into the cause of the fireflies.

Cheers,

Rowan

doing some tests with latest build (20th) and its awesome the difference of speed in some cases but as soon i turn deep of field on with the vignetting value other than 0 it tales at least 5 times more to render a frame (doing some video tests in full HD) and im not sure if this is a normal behavior, i will tray so set back the corona version on my laptop and do some tests will them to see if this affects time also.

Hi,

Please can you send over your scene so we can investigate?

Hi,

Are you using the UHD cache? If so, do you have "Animation" ticked in the UHD cache settings?

Hi,

I believe you'll need to create and exception in the Windows firewall for the DR server/3ds Max applications.

I don't think network discovery should be an issue, it is disabled on my setup and DR works.

Thanks,

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: HELP PHOENIX FD

« on: 2020-02-27, 12:58:50 »

Hi,

Yeah, we don't have compatability with Pheonix 4 yet. But it is coming... ;)

For the time being we suggest to use Phoenix 3 and to keep an eye on the daily builds page.

Thanks,

« on: 2020-02-26, 16:36:38 »

Hi,

Please can you also provide us with the versions of Corona, 3ds Max and Windows that your are using?

This information is really important for us.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. We updated to the newest iToo APIs in the v6 daily builds, so it might be worth trying this version out and seeing if there are any improvements.

If you are able to send over your scene we can look and see if anything can be done on our side to improve the parsing times..

Thanks,

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: using the entire paging file until it crashes during IR

« on: 2020-02-26, 13:11:41 »

Hi,

Thanks for the information. Can I ask you to make sure that your version of 3ds Max is fully up to date?

Can I also ask if you had any previous version of Corona installed previously?

If so it could be worth completely uninstalling Corona and also removing the files in: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\CoronaRenderer then reinstalling Corona and seeing if that helps.

Thanks,

Rowan

Btw, I don't know if this has been documented or not: when using a CoronaColorCorrect map as a plug into environment slot for the CoronaBitmap(with an hdri) the viewport preview of the said hdri is rotated 90 degrees.

Hi,

Yep, we know about this one.
