[Max] Resolved Bugs / win 7 vs win 10 ?

« on: 2020-02-01, 20:29:41 »

Not really a bug, but...

With the end of win7 support, i'm thinking about upgrading my renderfarm from win7 to win10.

I've done so on one node for testing :
Upgrade, not fresh install : as those servers are oldies and scecifics, i don't dare a fresh install, i may not find drivezrs, so upgrading is safer.

As you can see, DR render seams faster on win7 than on win10... though win10 uses less ram...
Coincidence ?
did somebody made some tests ?

[Max] Feature Requests / using only DR nodes.

« on: 2020-01-23, 14:33:20 »

Hello,
Quite often i need to render large images for a customer, so i switch on my little rfarm and use the DR render.
But while it renders i'm a bit stuck waiting.
I'd like to tell Corona to render only on DR slaves, not on the host PC, so i can switch to another project / scene to go on modeling / shading / rendering locally.
What if you could put a checkbox : "Use local rendering" - ON by default, but when OFF only DR nodes are busy and your main PC fully available.

It was asked once, and one of you guys told me that it would be possible - nor easy - to implement.

Bests.

[Max] Feature Requests / Import picture in History VFB

« on: 2020-01-09, 11:06:35 »

Hello,

It would be usefull to be able to open a picture in the VFB/History, so we could use the very usefull A/B comparison wipe with an old picture, not just rendered.

Possible ?

[Max] Bug Reporting / Very long to give back access after render.

« on: 2019-12-13, 10:04:29 »

Hello,

Don't know if it is a bug, but i have a very annoying behaviour here.
The scene is very fast to use, and to render, but after each render, 3dsmax 2020 hangs up for 1-2 minutes (yes, minutes) before it gives me back access.

I can provide the scene, but not on the forum (customers's top secret scene ;-) ), so please tell me how i can send it to you.

Regards.

[Max] Feature Requests / material preset

« on: 2019-12-08, 14:22:38 »

Hello,

Material library is great, but it could be fast&simple to get some material preset.
Ok, i have to confess, i've given a fast look at RedShift render : fast (GPU power), but not as good as Corona ;-)
But i've found that the small preset starter for materials is a great idea for beginers. (i'm 3D teacher in highschool, and sometimes it would help).
Pease have a look at the screenshot.

[Max] Feature Requests / a better CoronaSelectMtl

« on: 2019-11-05, 16:37:17 »

Hello there,

The CoronaSelectMtl is very usefull for me, as i often create products configurators for my customers.
To semi-automatize the output of all colors (for ex), i usually use a multi/sub materials, then i animate the MaterialID with the material modifyer.
It works, but on simple objects / materials.
When i need some multi/sub materials for complex objects, then i can't really animate this way, at least hardly.

So i wish as a request a better CoronaSelectMtl on 2 ways :
- The possibility to have an aditional parameter for the selected material : a spinner so we could animate it and so output all possible materials on a raw;
- a CoronaSelectedMaterial modifyer, so i could animate the SelectedMtl ID, object by object, so i can output more complex raws of pictures with several combinations of materials...

Can you do that ?

Best regards.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Material Editor Slow with UVrandomizer

« on: 2019-08-23, 11:50:34 »

Hello,

When i put CoronaUVrandomizer with multiSub material on losts of objects (here 650, with instances), the MaterialEditor becomes very laggy : each change of a param takes several seconds (10-15) to give hand back.

Also, the initial map is shown in viewport.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / spots light with multimap

« on: 2019-08-12, 11:53:31 »

Hello there,
Not really a bug, more an annoying limitation :

I have several spots lights to place (standarts, to use nice volume Fx and directionality), in random flashy colors.
But putting a CoronaMultimap in the Map Prjector slot of the spot does not do the tric, whatever the mode i choose (logically "instance" mode)..

Any idea ?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / 3dsmax Crash when merging scenes

« on: 2019-07-29, 14:30:32 »

Hi there,
Not really a bug, but an annoying behavior.

I'm used to have a Corona IR as my 4th viewport view.
And i DO have to think about to stop it before i drag&drop a max file to merge.
I understand that Corona does not espect for such changes in the polygons list, but if i don't stop IR first, 3dsmax hangs, then crash.
If it is normal that Corona can't handle new polys list when we merge a scene, maybe you could force the IR stop when you know that we are trying to open or merge a new scene ?

Best regards.
