Final build, released as Corona 10 for 3ds Max:

Bugfixes
  • Fixed issue where having different Roughness mode or IOR mode in decal material and base object material resulted in wrong roughness/IOR when using just some decal channels.
  • Fixed issue where having displaced base object with at least two different decals would lead to having no displacement for a decal which does not replace displacement.
  • Fixed issue where Corona Tonemapcontrol was not working on Dr Slave.
  • Fixed issue where CoronaColorCorrect could crash when editing curves.
  • Fixed issue where using "Make unique" on light instances would lead to crash.
  • Happy rendering!
