[Max] Daily Builds / Re: CoronaPattern playground!
« on: 2025-03-10, 18:08:44 »The above is definitely a bug, thanks for bringing it up.
I reproduced it and it is reported now.
The solution is to select an object which does not have CoronaPatternMod applied, and then select object with pattern. The select and move will work fine afterwards.
(Report ID=CMAX-1430)
Hi, another issue with CoronaPattern applied objects; it seems to mess with both snaps (they don't work correctly when a pattern is on the object) and also with Undo function. 3dsmax 2025.2, latest daily

« on: 2025-03-10, 18:02:08 »Anyone else having the same licensing issues today with AnimaALL? Opened a ticket already but curious if coincidence or not. Anima's licensing is dreadful at the best of times but not being able to use it at all right now is a wonderful Morning surprise on top of Corona going down as well.
Alex, seems to be working for me - but as you correctly mentioned, the dreadful licence is so unpredictable and hard to manage that this doesn't mean much. So I can't say for sure that it is working 100%

This is exactly why users HATE web based licenses.
I hope you guys are able to figure something out. If you let your client down Chaos should be on the hook for some compensation. This is unacceptable.

Damn, love it!
Please tell me those rain drop splash/ripples are from scattered decals, right? (Always wanted to do this).
Great images. Any AI?
Kudos!

Off-Topic / Re: Pricing VR Tours
« on: 2025-03-05, 19:55:25 »
I use Pano2VR, but since last using that I've also been teaching myself javascript, so I'd probably use that to build my own portal these days.
I understand Chaos have their own system now? I think?
I know there are a few others out there though but never used any, so no comment from me on anything else.
P.S. I'd take my 150% ballpark with a grain of salt - I don't think it's 150% amount of work compared to a regular still image. It's likely a lot more, but sometimes you can get away with less detail (especially in composition).

I charge 360 panoramas at about 150% my usual rate.
Generally the client handles the actual tour/hosting, so no other costs/fees for this on my end, but from what I understand it's pretty simple these days.

Note: it is currently invisible since it's in "new" status and pendingTom'sthe Product Manager's review.
If you have any comments or would like me to change the description/title, please let me know. It was kind of hard for me to come up with a meaningful title.
Awesome, thanks

I don't drink Coke but I guess this is kinda a dream job. A bit like Don Draper in Mad Men final episodes.
Congrats on landing that job. Well done and good work! You nailed it.

No, it's a mesh/poly.
I should clarify; this isn't happening in just this instance, but in all scenes. It seems to select larger objects such as floors or ceilings, rather than the object the mouse is hovering over.
Again, I think this is new behaviour. Any help appreciated :)

General CG Discussion / max 2025 selection of objects goes wrong
« on: 2025-02-13, 21:40:28 »
This is 3dsmax related, not Corona. So off-topic, I know, but I'm certain this is a new 'bug'....I'm wondering if anyone knows why this is happening to me for the past few months?
I try to select an object and it selects the bigger, more simple object behind. Every damn time.
In the video below I'm demonstrating that I want to select the sofa (which has many more edges) but the BASE object (behind/underneath the sofa) is constantly selected - which is unintended, of course.
It's extremely frustrating. What have I done to cause this?
Any help MUCH appreciated! :)
