A Corona to Vantage or similar would be extremely powerful and useful !

[Max] Bug Reporting / Max Crash on opening LUT related ?

« on: 2023-03-18, 13:17:59 »

Hi everyone

I am trying to open a scene from a colleague but as Max is about to be ready, I get a Corona Error message popup :

"Error loading LUT file 'PATH....'
blah blah
Error occurred while reading the file. Learn more

At this stage I cannot click anything and then Max just bombs out.

I am on Corona 9 hotfix 1 and Max 2022

Let me know how to resolve this if possible.

Thanks

General CG Discussion / Re: CORONA VS ENSCAPE

Good news I guess? :)

https://www.chaos.com/blog/chaos-and-enscape-to-merge-backed-by-ta-associates-and-lea-partners

I was on my way here to open a discussion about this myself...

I work at an interior design firm and the drive for the past couple of years has been to get users onto Revit.
Last year I saw a big push from some of the technical team to use Enscape.
I have never been a fan of Enscape or Lumion because the quality just isnt there and the flexibility is just not anywhere close to Max , as far as I know anyways....

So this article popped up in my team chat this morning , and I wonder if we should feel threatened as 3d visualisers using just Max and Corona renderer...Does it take power away from us who are able to create high end photographic visuals with Corona , if now a Revit user can do the same with Enscape and a more advanced render engine backing it ?

I suppose we will have to see where it goes but I dont know whether to be worried or excited

oh wow

So manually means , create a legacy material and copy the attributes across one at a time ?

what about sending to a render farm and they still on corona 6 ?

To add to this , what about if I have models for sale on 3dsky or similar , but now using corona 7 , people will not be able to use my new models if they still on 6 ...

Hi there

Is it possible to convert all the materials in a scene ive been working on in Corona 7 to the Corona legacy material ?
Even if it compromises the look of the material , is there a way to do it ?
If so , how to ?

Thanks in advance!

@GeorgeK

Thanks man , this has fixed the error !
The materials in question which have the propogation set to "always'' are in fact the the problem. (I just put them to ''never'' and voila )
This is geometry that I have imported from the other guy...so I will have to see why his materials are set up like this , but at least we have found the source of the problem!

Thank you !!

[Max] I need help! / Crazy Wirecolors

« on: 2021-04-15, 19:02:17 »

Hi guys
As usual , I am in a major time crunch...
I have been collaborating with another Max user , he is on 3ds max 2022 , I am on 2021.
When I bring his geometry into my file I get an error which says the incoming chamfer modifier is version 405 , and im using 400 (something like that) This is a chamfer on a editpoly at sublevel.
Even if the geometry is collapsed totally before bringing it in I still get the error.
Further to this he uses railclone , which I dont , then he collapses to Edit poly before sending it to me.
So , now at the end of all of this , when I render my wirecolors are a total mess...I have tried adjusting individually and everything should be normal , but when I render I get this weird bleeding affect and I couldnt use them at all....see attached.

Any advice or way to fix the wire color problem will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

[Max] I need help! / Corona , internal render farm , remote rendering

« on: 2019-12-04, 12:49:58 »

Hi everybody

I am hoping I can gather some information so I can put together an efficient system for myself over time.
I am not particularly technical , but I think things are about to change.

I use Corona and 3ds max as my staple software. I am currently rendering locally.

I have colleagues abroad and I am trying to streamline and standardize our collective assets and believe the solution is with Design connected's Connector.

My actual question is with regards to building up a render farm which I will be able to use whilst at the office and off site.
I am considering making use of BOXX's rackmount system as an option because it seems as though its plug and play and easily added to.

Has anyone got experience with BOXX's systems and would one be able to send a render to the system remotely ?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: Corona 4 , installer fatal error

« on: 2019-10-02, 10:30:29 »

I managed to get it right just now...

I had to move the install folder to my user directory before it would allow me access , I believe its because of the IT infrastructure and permissions.

Thanks
