« on: 2025-04-28, 17:24:19 »

Hi
I cant use Select by Material in 3ds max 2026, it select a random object on any scene, has anyone encounter with this issue too?
Its also happening in Vray, maybe its a 3ds max bug, but I have found some issues only while installing plugins, I have reported this in both forums too.

[Max] I need help! / Denoising takes too long in my PC

« on: 2025-02-06, 23:30:14 »

Hi, I was wondering why my PC takes too much time to finish Denoising, it always denoise 1-70 very fast but in 71-75 takes a lot of time, the same scene doesnt take this much time to denoise in another machines. Could it be my HDD? My hardware is better in my PC than the others.

Hi
I love the new additions in Corona 12 update 1, unfortunately it crash a lot when you start using IR.

[Max] General Discussion / Saving images into history from Pulze with Batch render

« on: 2024-11-29, 19:30:44 »

Hi, Im using Pulze Scene Manager to use it in Batch render, I only want to save the main CXR (that includes all channels) per camera
The thing is that if I activate the Automatic saving from History, its not saving any image, while batch render with Statesets works as espectged, is this something from Pulze or Corona?

[Max] General Discussion / Corona 12 update 1 - elapsed render time

« on: 2024-11-22, 16:40:31 »

Hi, has anyone noticed something strange while rendering with Corona 12 update 1?
Yesterday I was rendering a 4k image at 4% noise level limit, and the render time was changing from 4hrs to 330 hrs, to 4hrs again and never decreaced remaining time
Noise Level was progressing fine, I stopped at 5.5% in 2 hrs, but the message of remaining time was acting a little strange.
Im not an expert in Corona behaivior, as a Progressive render engine I havent seen something like this, could it be related to something odd in the scene?

[Max] General Discussion / Activate mode for editing Render region

« on: 2024-11-01, 01:36:28 »

Hi, I simply dont understand why we need this button for this purpose.
What it only does is activate the edition for the regions.
I think that this button should enable/disable all render regions. For me its not logicall that this only enables the edition.
Regions are still active, in order to disabling regions (which is more important rather than activate the edition) we need to click on the arrow and then click "disable all".
For me its confusing, editing render regions should always be active, maybe lock them with an option in the arrow.

Another thing is that when loading an image into History, regions cannot be draw, a lot of times I just want to render a region and I cant.

I have already submit this to Ideas but I was wondering if someone else have this issue.

[Max] General Discussion / V-Ray Edges Tex not converting to Corona Round Edges

« on: 2024-10-24, 00:42:09 »

Hi
I had a VrayMaterial with EdgesTex into Bump, this generate the Chamfer effect.
When running the CoronaConverter it becomes a CoronaWire (in vray this is the same map but connected to bump gives the Chamfer), it will need a CoronaRoundEdges instead
Hope you can change this behaivior.
