Daily builds version 3

[Frood]

any previously reported issues with DR

I do not see those fixed (RC5 currently):

1. https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=20851.msg136599#msg136599
2. Render error after starting up drserver and loading a DR max scene for the first time, see log. Until 12:33:18 all went ok, drserver sitting idle. At 12:43:00 a DR job arrives and I get two errors. All subsequent DR jobs run fine.

These are new bugs and were not present in v2.


Good Luck

I wanna report a bug with corona latest daily builds. First time and the second time render give different color result.
The scene is already sent to Ondra using Dropbox with my email address.

Just found the problem : Corona needs to render first to load "Volume Light" in Environment and Effect > Environment > Atmosphere > Effects

Sometimes, it just totaly failed to load the "Volume Light" at all. The new test scene has been uploaded to private uploader:
1542454397_Failed-to-load.7z

[denisgo22]

Propose to include in Corona material Library section "Environment" with some kinds of free simple HDRI's, may be only with lights areas, something like in KeyShort, for fast testing
models and materials after converting them from Vray, for example:)

The same happened to us on Friday. Try updating the nvidia drivers, it helped in our case.

I found this bug in the Corona Light, made a video do explain it better:

Bad english, sorry. Hehe.

Ronald

PS: I didnt read all the reports of bugs, I´m sorry if this was already reported. I used the today RC6 version to do the video.

Hi,

Corona error message with last RC6 with 3dsmax 2019.2 :

"Failed to initialize NVIDIA AI denoiser: Runtime version is different from expected.
Found 5.1.0, expected 5.1.2  " 

ps : no issue with 3ds max 2016

"Failed to initialize NVIDIA AI denoiser: Runtime version is different from expected.

ps : no issue with 3ds max 2016

Hello, I find it weird, that Optix denoiser would run in 2016 Max but not in 2019 Max. Can you try reinstalling Corona? (by uninstalling it first and then installing it again)

[Alexandre Besson]

same issue in reinstall

I am running into the same issue as Alexandre with the Nvidia AI denoiser with RC6 on 2019.2
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Corona RC6, both with the online and offline nvidia library, no luck.

On an unrelated subject, does anybody also have issues with Distributed Rendering and OSL shaders?
Slaves/nodes will not render any scene containing an OSL shader plugged to a CoronaMTL. Rendering without DR works great on each machine separately.

Hi, I am using RC4 atm. After finished last render, I decided to resume previous render in another camera angle with a resume file (.cxr) to render a little bit more passes, but unfortunately during the resume rendering I've received strange behavior in VFB window - the last render became visible with opacity over the resume rendering. I've tried to turn off all Lightmix layers and discovered that a few layers when turned off also hides the last render in opacity. Then I decided to re-start 3dsmax and try again with a resume file one more time, after restart the last render in opacity was gone and everything was ok. So, it seems like Corona kept history of the last render and during the rendering of another camera angle with resume file that last render became visible. I think this is kind of the bug in accordance with a Resume File option. I've attached image.

Hi!
It would be more convenient in a light lister instance light to be displayed as one or grouped. The large number of lights in the scene is always Instance, why should we overload the lister with all this?

We had the same problem, reinstall and resolved...   -.-

Bonjour Dionysios,

Do you mean you reinstalled max and corona, or the whole system (windows reinstall) ? I tried reinstalling max, latest updates and Corona already, and I am still getting this issue unfortunately.
I might try uninstalling, cleaning the registry and do a clean install again. Support could not reproduce the issue so it's worth a try.
Merci :)
