1. Read the licenses for each of your plugins. For example on the license page for Itoo it mentions: "free unlimited render nodes."
2. Yes, as long as each node can access that directory. Again read the documentation for your network render plugins etc.
3. Cant remember - I dont have nodes anymore. Maybe someone else can help with this one.
4. ?
5. You can read more here or here. Again read the documentation. These things took me 30 seconds to search for on google.

Thank you James Vella!

4. - by this question I meant is it enough to have regular connection through the router, or something faster (some straight connection) would give noticeably better result?

Hi,
I found a solution.

Hi!

Thanks a lot! Almost lost hope to find the solution for this, but you found it. Your life hack works nicely and solves the problem. Thanks for sharing!

The link to the old benchmark and its results is at the bottom of this page: https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark
Here it is: https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark/results

Thank you!

Hi. I need help with DR setup.

I have some questions about it and will be very grateful if you can help me to get the answers. Don't have the second computer yet, but I'll get it soon, so need some information beforehand.

1. If I get it right I can have not activated version of 3DS Max on the slave computer, but what about the plugins? Almost in all project I use Forest Pack, should I have it activated on the slave or demo version is enough? The same question about other plugins and scripts.

2. If I share the folder from the master computer which contains all textures and proxies I use for my projects, will it be used by render node without packing and sending the assets from master computer to the slave?

3. Is it possible to use DR with IR?

4. What kind of connection between master and slave is better to have?

5. If you can share some good tutorial about Corona DR setup and also about network setup would be also very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.
Can I see somewhere the results of Corona 1.3 benchmark? I'd like to compare some old processors which are not in the Corona 10 benchmark results list.

I believe this is related to the 3ds Max "use center" option - https://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-57814FDB-4D6B-469D-9D46-84380E12C8C3

Thank you Maru. Yes, switching to Use Pivot Point Center helps to avoid this gizmo behavior, and it could be ok in most of the cases when it is about moving, but for rotation and scaling the difference between Use Pivot Point Center and Use Selection Center is critical, so for most of the cases for rotation and scaling switching to Use Pivot Point Center is not the suitable solution.

Jamesdowling, I have 4K monitor too, who knows, maybe it connected with this. I published the same kind of post on Autodesk forum (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-forum/strange-transform-gizmo-s-behavior-while-mouse-pointer-is-near/td-p/11885733), but still didn't get any replies there.

Hello!

I have some problem with the transform gizmo - it changes orientation while I have my mouse pointer on it. Please, check the attached video, you can clearly see it there. It happens when multiple objects/subobjects or closed group is selected. Disorientation of the gizmo is not connected with orientation of the objects and it looks the same as on video no matter how the selected objects oriented. It happens if the reference coordinate system set to View. It happens not always, but I didn't notice anything what can cause this problem.
It's pretty annoying when I can't "catch" the axis along which I'd like to transform my objects. The same happens with rotate and scale gizmos.

I didn't find anything like this in net, would be interesting to know what it could be connected with.

Max 2023.3, Win 10

I understand, and it seems there is no straightforward way to use this map directly in Corona, as it is not currently supported. A potential workaround for you could be to use the "Render Map" option in SME and relink those bitmaps in the places where the VRaySoftBox map is used.

Thank you Avi! I followed your suggestion for this project and it is good enough for now.

And thank you for the feature request!

Hi,

Can you please tell us more about what you are trying to do with the VraySoftbox map? If you are trying to apply it to the Light to make them softer, you can also try to use a gradient with box mapping.

Hi
I've got the Vray scene with studio lighting where SoftBox map used in many lights. I want to convert it to Corona, but this map doesn't work here.

Hello!
Is there any way to make VraySoftbox map to work with Corona?
Tried to use it with CoronaBumpConverter, but it didn't help.

When I start it again it doesn't recognize the macroScript

Looks like a Max bug, it seems to dislike the continuation characters ("\") in the definition. If you remove them, it works.


Good Luck

Thank you Frood! Now it works fine.

Hi guys.
Can somebody help me with the script RenderHiddenGeometry posted here by Rotem (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=4908.msg76005#msg76005)?
I used it with different versions of Max and it worked fine, but it is a bit different with the Max 2023. This script installs normally, after that I'm able to create the button on the toolbar and assign hot key, it works well, but only until I close Max. When I start it again it doesn't recognize the macroScript, button/hot key doesn't work and Max can't see this action in the Customize User Interface dialog although the macroScript is still located in C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2023 - 64bit\ENU\usermacros folder

Would be very grateful for the solution because this macro's function is useful for me.

Hi
Unfortunately can't use two latest DBs (2022-09-13 and 2022-09-20) because of error I'm getting using IR.
I get a message that some bitmap was changed during the rendering and render had to be aborted (example attached). After that render stops. The thing is that I didn't change any bitmaps during the rendering.
This error repeats quite frequently with different "maps that were changed" and makes work with IR not efficient because IR has to be restarted again and again. So I reverted to the DB 2022-09-06 - it works without this error.

Max 2022.3. Win 10

I'm getting this error also with DB 09.06 Max 2021 WIN 10

Yep, I'm also getting this error since updating to latest daily. Max 2023.1
Hey guys,

I have a couple of questions, are your textures stored locally or on some network drive/gdrive or something similar?

Are you able to send any of these scenes over to us? If so I can PM you a link to upload it to me.

Thanks,

Rowan

In my case all bitmaps are stored on local drives. After this post of yours I installed DB 2022-09-20 and working with it for some hours, but didn't get this error yet :) If I'll get it again I'll send you some example scene
