[Max] General Discussion / Thank you and goodbye!

« on: 2024-01-29, 16:41:02 »

Hi Everyone,

After 5 years with Render Legion/Chaos Czech it is time for me to move on to a new challenge.

It has really been a pleasure being a part of the team here in Prague (and beyond) and working with you, our faithful Corona Renderer users, to develop a really cool piece of software.

I just wanted to say thanks for all of your feedback, help, and definitely patience over the last 5 years!

Take care,

Rowan

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Chaos Corona 12 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

Hi,

Every time I open a scene (on both PC's) I get the out of core error pop.

Disabling it, or resetting it seems to do nothing.

See attached for details. Max 2024.2, Windows 10. Daily build C12 Dec 13.

Hey,

I bet this is really frustrating. I have tried numerous times to reproduce this here, and I have failed every time. Can you provide a list of every plugin you are using and if you are using any render managers?

Cheers,

Rowan

Hardware / Re: Intel i7 14700K CPU Speed Drop during Corona Render

« on: 2023-12-12, 14:14:19 »

Hi,

Yeah, it does sound like thermal throttling.

I think that cooler, even configured like that, should do a better job of cooling that CPU than it's currently doing. Maybe it's worth re-pasting and re-mounting the cooler.

Cheers!

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Memory leak (Phoenix + Corona)

« on: 2023-12-11, 10:50:33 »

Hey,

I will render the scene a few times here and see if I can reproduce the NaN error, but that is definitely to dow ith Corona and not Phoenix. So I'm glad that at least one issue is solved here :)

I'll let you know when I have some more info with regards to the NaN issue.

Cheers,

Hi,

This sounds like it could be thermal related, what kind of temperatures are you reaching when rendering?

Cheers,
