[Max] I need help! / GI Flickering in animation

« on: 2025-01-14, 15:50:05 »

I wanted to see what everyone thought before I decide if this is something I should send to Chaos as a bug of some sorts. I use primarily 4k for secondary like I did a long time ago, but now I get Flickering in GI on a lot of scenes. Back in the day I switched from UHD to 4K because I was getting much faster calculations and better quality. I never got flickering from 4K before. I tried same scenes with UHD, and am getting much less flickering but still on some scenes still getting really bad flickering. Working on really big scenes now and in the past I can confidently say this was really never an issue before. Seems like with the newest Corona I'm having a lot of GI flickering issues, am I the only one?

Corona 12 Update 1
Max 2025.3
Tried 4k & UHD
Set to Animation (flicker-free)

Thank you Avi, I got a response and it is indeed a Bug.  I think I found a couple of more bugs for other settings so I will report those also.

Well I also found if I add even the Render Element "CGeometry_Velocity" so I can do motion blur in post even that will crash out of max.  There is some bug with anything motion blur with Corona 12 Update 1.

I think I figured it out, It seems to be the Corona Camera Motion blur. When activated for Camera and Geometry it crashes during rendering animation out of max. The minute I turned it off it works fine.

Okay so I tried on max 2025 and 2024 crashes out of max on both. Even tried 2 different computers. I think I narrowed it down to animated Corona cameras. It seems to most definitely be the Corona cameras when they are animated. Not sure which setting in Camera are crashing the scene. When I use anything else or just perspective it renders just fine. Minute I go back to camera CRASH. Just like the other scene file. I think it might have to do with animated DOF Value in the camera. Or possibly Environment & Clipping or animated Environment & Clipping.

I noticed that when I try to use IPR and use the Point selector for DOF Focus Value so I can animate it with Auto Key, it doesn't work right. Doesn't keep the measurements or save a key. So maybe there is a bug in the Corona Camera and that is also crashing the app.

Well unfortunately with work I didn't have a chance to rerender that animation. But now I'm finally rendering a new addition and the same issue, crashes right out of max. I'm thinking this is Max issue, I already have some wired problems with Max 2025.3 like selection issues. I'm going to go back to 2024 and see if the new Max is the problem. 2024 Max I never had any issues.

[Max] General Discussion / Path guiding?

How come Corona never got Path guiding? Vray has it, I've tried it and it makes quite a difference.

Hi sorry, was gone for the holiday. There was a couple of updates for Forest pro and railclone. I did the updates and will render the animation again to see if they were the culprits.

I'll report back my findings.

Well I rolled back to Corona 12 Hotfix 1, same thing. When you render animation it crashes out of max. Not sure if this is a Corona or Max thing. Will have to try Corona 11 next I guess.

I am using Max 2025.3 with Corona 12 Update 1. Works good till you render animation.  Crashes right out of Max. I'm going to downgrade to Corona 12 Hotfix 1 and see if it's to do with the latest Corona.  Anyone else having crashing with latest Corona?

Is it only corona? Does V-Ray work with dual CPU systems well? I heard that Microsoft is rolling out update (24H2) with new scheduler, wonder if that will help.

So far tried Parsec in the office, it works pretty damn good. Only thing is I cannot find a way from transferring files from client to host. I looked to ask this at Parsec but they don't seem to have an support email. Anyone know the answers to this?

Wanted to report on my two 7980x workstations, because of the AMD "Sinkclose" vulnerability I updated my systems from Bios 701 to Bios 702 on the Asus Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI. I also updated the latest chipset driver.  I noticed on a 3min render scene, doing these two updates now makes rendering take up to 10 seconds longer than before on both machines. Anyone else find slowdowns patching for latest threat?
