Have you checked if the materials have a CoronaTriplanar map?

Hi
Im testing the newest Daily Build (chaos-corona-13-3dsmax-daily-2025-02-28.exe)
CoronaMix map has changed its behaivior, heres an example of the same material, in Corona 12 update 1 hotfix 1 and with the new one.
This is messing with all the materials that are using CoronaMix, could it be related to "Added mix alpha option to CoronaMix map"
I have tried recreating the material and its giving me the same new ressults, could we have a "legacy behavior" option like other maps or what can I do to restore the old behaivior?
The only "solution" is to turn off "perform mixing in sRGB space" but it seems thatt the color is not the same

You can, (unless there’s something changed in 13) under the performance tab. Denoising for IR is a separate setting from production rendering.

Ohh I forgot to mention that its needed in VFB

I was wondering when could we have a way to turn off/on denoiser IR directly from VFB, right now it doesnt work, it only works with Production rendering.

My bad, sorry for the confusion.
Whats happening is that I have activated "automatic saving images into history" (another thing I miss to mention)
so when denoise reach 73-75 its saving the image, but this process takes a very little time in another PC that has low specs, after turning off automatic save, denoise its fast as the other, so I noticed that the HDD destination its very old and its struggling writing, and the other PC has a SSD so its pretty fast. Again sorry for the confusion.

70 - 75 Means Denoising amount, Im using Intel Denoiser
Images from any resolution, right now im rendering in 2000 px, 1-70 denoiser amount takes less than 10 seconds,. but 70-75 takes minutes
I have 128 gb of Ram
CPU AMD Ryzen 5950x
GPU RTX 4060

Hi, I was wondering why my PC takes too much time to finish Denoising, it always denoise 1-70 very fast but in 71-75 takes a lot of time, the same scene doesnt take this much time to denoise in another machines. Could it be my HDD? My hardware is better in my PC than the others.

[Max] I need help! / Re: How to get Vray to Corona Converter?

« on: 2025-02-04, 15:46:46 »

To run Corona converter you dont need Vray license, you only need to install the plugin and thats it.
Its the same workaround for Vray converter, you dont need Corona license, just install the plugin so 3ds Max can recognize Material/Maps DLLs and both converter will run.

Im not an expert either, but something that have helped to "write" scripts is Max Listener, it will show you most of the commands that youre using, only activate MacroRecorder and start doing what you want to the script to do, hopely you can see what codes are the ones that u need, I recommend to ask in Stack facebook group, hopely "Frood" can help you here too.

Thanks to Right-Click option I found 2 Lightmaterials in the scene, but theres still another one that I cant select, could it be an environment one?
Ohh nevermind it was coming from an Xref and I didnt turned off lights from there
