« on: 2020-12-10, 11:17:52 »

3dsmax 2020, corona 6

the SSS is not transfered from one object to another object. I have several boxes with boxes on top. But when the topbox is a different material as the lower box, the SSS stops working.
See attached image. the top three boxes have a thin box on top, the lower one has not.
Attached is a screenshot and the max file

[Max] Bug Reporting / CoronaMultiMap not showing in CmaskingID render element

« on: 2017-10-27, 09:50:03 »

The CoronaMultimap does not show in the CmaskingID render element when set on MaterialID. I would expect the different ID's to show in the same manner as if I would have put a "proper" MultiSub Material on the object.
right?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Parsing the scene

« on: 2016-03-17, 15:23:44 »

I have multiple scenes where the render hangs on Parsing the scene. I can wait forever and it wont stop parsing. I need to end 3dsmax, and open the autosave every time. This is pretty anoying. Is there anyone else having this?  And is this on the top of the bug resolve list?
I am a fond user of corona but this is a big GRRRRRRRPPUMPPPFFF and ARRGGGHHHGGHGHH for me...

btw, its totally random

[Max] General Discussion / renderfarm anyone?

« on: 2013-07-17, 21:41:07 »

Anyone know of a render farm that has alpha 5 running (max2013) or is able/willing to install A5. I might need a farm solution soonish. I have budget so unlike Corona it does not have to be free... ;-)
