I would suggest uninstalling Scatter (it is listed in the Windows "Programs and Features") and then running the newest Corona installer again.

Ok, this worked. Thanks.

So my first, earlier, query was relevant and this was the answer I was looking for.

Thanks again.

Glad to hear that.
Nevertheless, if you have simply downloaded the dailies and installed them, the newer version should have been installed, it is strange that the scatter version was left at 07-30 DB.

Did you do some custom installation or so (multiloaders e.g., with just Corona version, without specifying scatter version)?
Did you have or installed VRay in between the daily builds of Corona?

No custom install. And no vray installed.

This same issue has plagued me (and I know others) for at least a year... so it's on-going.

If by "around the place" you mean VRay 7, then again it may not be the case, as builds vary for Corona and VRay too.
But if you have access to VRay 7, it should come with a newer version of scatter and it should be installed with VRay, and you can give it a try.

Oh! I must've misunderstood that the new distribution scattering maps were available for Corona already. Apologies!

Ok, I'll continue to wait :)

To be honest, I'm getting kinda sick of having this problem and asking this question, but here we go again:

How do I ensure the latest scatter is installed when I use the latest daily? It doesn't seem to install + update as expected.

From memory there is a manual install, but I cannot find the steps I must follow...

I can't even find information on which is the latest scatter release (to check if I have the latest installed or not, I only know do to lack of released features)

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi,

A new (daily) build of Corona does not necessarily mean a new build of Scatter.
In any case, the installer automatically "sees" if the Scatter version needs updating (if it comes with the installer) and does so. If not, the previous version is kept.
It used to be like this for quite long.

Please tell which version of Corona you are using and what is the reported version of scatter in 3ds Max > Scatter object > info menu, so we can check.

Hi, I'm using latest daily of Corona; Oct 23 - Scatter installed is: 6.0.27947+daily-2024-07-30, build timestamp: Jul 30 2024 08:30:15

Is this correct? I only ask as I'd like to use the new scattering options I've seen promoted around the place.

Yeah, I'm experiencing this lag with IR too. I thought it was just from heavy scatters, but now I think not...

Can anyone please explain what the 'quality' setting does in 4k cache (animation, flicker-free)?

Ie; how will it affect my animation, render times, etc.

I can't find any info anywhere...

Thanks :)

@aaouviz - do you have the quiet mode / popup suppression enabled? If so, that wouldn't be a Corona daily build problem.

Ah! My bad. Yep, I did, temporarily until I was advised to not use this. I didn't connect the dots and understand this was the cause.

Apologies.

Just lovely! Well done.

And yes, that sofa is amazing. If you'd be willing to share more info (or even sell the model/technique) I'd be extremely appreciative.

Ok fair call. I will stop using this then.

Anyone know if I can edit this script so it disables only the warning I want to suppress?

So Frood, your script only works when I manually choose to open in that quiet mode, right? (And must have max already open?)

That kinda defeats the purpose for me, unfortunately.

Just updated to 2025.1 - I vaguely remember reading somewhere something about coronabitmap not working with this version? Am I correct?

I can't open the file load dialogue from corona bitmap node settings in SME.

I guess this is a known bug?

I honestly cannot think of an important warning that I might miss. Any pro tips?

Can you explain about the script in the link (sorry, I'm not quite understanding that thread very well).

Does it only disable the MISSING EXTERNAL FILES pop up? Is it automatic or must I open a file with that menu dropdown option?

Cheers,

Well, for future reference, I found the answer. It work's perfectly, just put it in the 3ds Max <version?\scripts\Startup folder:

Does this warning on the file load bother anyone else?

I really don't care about these missing files, and they're usual false positives anyway seeing as it doesn't like loading Corona pre-set materials for some reason.

Does anyone know of a friendly + easy way to globally disable this warning on the load?\

Thanks!
