Hey,
Just got 8.0.33 and saw there is a new option under the Add-on settings called "Use Material Preview" and it asks to open a specific folder. What folder should I put in there?
Thanks again for your hard work :D
-
That should point to an older 1.6 corona renderer to use for material previews until a later version works with textures.
There are compatibility issues with the older one so it won't work with all materials but at least you can see materials with textures.

Hi,
Oh breautiful! thanks! I'll give it a try now!
-
Where I can download 1.6 ? Is it still free. I download some demo/trail v1.6 for 3DS Max, and it works but only for 45 days.
-
No version of Corona Renderer for Max has been free since Alpha 6 (which you can still get at the bottom of the page here: https://corona-renderer.com/download/old). Every version from 1.0 onward is 45 day free trial only - but there is a "demo reset" whenever major new features are introduced, adding 14 days for those whose 45 day trial has expired, so you can try out Corona Renderer 4 for 2 weeks if you like :)

If you have bought corona 4 for 3ds max can you point to it for material previews rather than 1.6? There is a materials download for 1.7. Does that work in 1.6? Do the LUT's from corona 4 work in version 3 and is it okay to use that path.

Hi! Sorry, I don't understand your questions....
If you have Corona 4, then the materials and LUTs that it installs will be the ones to use. The LUTs and materials didn't change between 3 and 4, they are the same ones. Can you explain step by step what you are trying to do? Thanks!
