Sure.
But still this is beyond my comprehension - how external program, which Chaos Browser obviously is, cannot at least download some decals textures. It can download other textures, floors, walls, whatever, but not decals... I'm dissapointed with this situation, as well as with the changes to the licence. Not to mention the price increase.
I'm with Corona since non-commercial version but seems like this year will be the last. Too much "chaos" for me.

I'm using last version available for 3ds max 2015, which means version 8, where decals were introduced. It is hard to believe that a bunch of simple bitmaps cannot be accessed via Cosmos Browser - which also was introduced in version 8, along with decals... This is a total nonsense. Where can I apply for the partial refund due to limited functionality of Cosmos?

Thanks Maru. It is extremely frustrating...

Just curious, Maru. How many assets do you have in your Cosmos Browser accessed via 3ds max / Corona?

So I opened a ticket and after re-installing, deleting Cosmos folders and whatnot, running diagnostics etc., I still cannot see the half of the library (decals are just the tip of an iceberg). I just couldn't be happier - to pay for the whole year and get something that is just not working...

What about decals? Still not showing up in Corona Cosmos Browser. I expected at least simple diffuse + opacity to work out-of-the-box since Corona version 8. So, the licence price went up to get those things fixed, RIGHT?

Yes. It did continue without changes, until now. Suddenly Chaos informs me the licence type has changed and I'm on a Premium one now. All this happening without any action from my side.

What about Corona's declaration that no changes will be done to existing licences unless the user wants to? From Corona's blog:

All existing subscriptions (monthly and yearly) continue without any changes
If you have an active Corona subscription (or start one before the release of Corona 8) then we will not unilaterally change it — so nothing will change for you, unless you explicitly ask us to make a change. Your subscription will continue with the same conditions for as long as you keep it active, and will even include the new additions such as Chaos Scatter, Chaos Cosmos, etc.

How it is possible that there was an automatic change of my licence type from standard (licence dated from 2016 and unchanged since) to Corona Premium (next billing amount 73.68 euros)? I don't get it.

1) Try activating the trial license - https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/6872885108241
2) Buy another subscription under a different email address and request a refund once the original issue is resolved. We have a 14-day refund policy - https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402140621457

Wouldn't this put me in non favourable position of paying more as a new customer instead of having it the "old way = no change in the pricing plan"?

I don't have a licence and cannot render. My request for Chaos helpdesk was issued (#48186) 36 hours ago. 36 hours passed and not a single word from the helpdesk (no other that there IS a licence on my account), nothing has changed in regard of licence showing up in my chaos licence server. Without any reason it just stopped working - the payment went off, money is deducted from my account, as it does since the first commercial release of Corona. There was no update of any software, I didn't even changed the settings in renderer and yet - no licence. It happened right on the day of payment. It definitely stands up to the company name - chaos...

Thank You! I'm on v2015 so I'll patiently wait for the official hotfix.

Hi

I'm sending the scene.

Run rendering - Time Output is set to RANGE (or Active Time Segment or Frames) from 0 to 10, observe corona VFB in alpha mode.
The goal: distance map should update from frame to frame accordingly to changing positions of Target1 and Target2.
The result: distance map is calculated for the first frame only and isn't re-calculating the changed position of node inputs in following frames.

Affected material name: "shadow"

Thanks,
TT
