[Max] General Discussion / Re: is this UI sluggishness normal?

Thank you.
I edited my previous post.

I am pretty sure it's also Autodesk fault, some files created in 2024.1 "obsolete data found "pop up compatibility warning in 2024.2 for ever...

Edit: I am deeply moved by how corona 11 scatter has a huge  impact on the smoothness of the entire interface of 3dsmax....

In my personal opinion, Corona after 3dsmax update to 2024.2 is practically unusable.
In particular, Forest Pack scenes done before Corona 11 and 3dsmax 2024.2.

- Material Editor - non-stop stutters (2-5 seconds)
- 2D Pan Zoom does not work
Edit : Actually it wont work when you create new viewports tab when locked view for rendering
- Isolation freezes 3dsmax for 5+ seconds
Edit : Its much better in Dailybuild
- corona sun changes position after opening file
- overal ui  performance is very  bad.


Funny thing is i recently tested FStorm and Material Editior works like charm.

We do not have a particular manufacturer in mind , we are looking for the possibilities of export this wide tonal " faded" raw image in 16 bit ,to easily use film LUTs from the web.... 
Am I mixing something up :) ?

I know it's an archive topic, but my colleague and I have a problem that we're having.

Is it possible to get an image from Corona which will look like "log" material from a video camera in order to impose professional LUTs on it, e.g. in Resolve?

Yes this SUCK, also it is very hard to select JUST CAMERA not CAMERA+TARGET...

Workaround for you my friend, use SHIFT+G to temporarily hide geometries.

Of course, I am not saying that Corona is malware. However, every time 3dsmax is started, Windows defender flags a file created by Corona....

On top of that, there issues with displaying maps in viewport. These problems do not occur with the 3dsmax default materials...
The "Show Maps in viewport" button with CoronaBitmaps often do not work...

Hello, sorry for delayed reply,
I have so many instances of ucrtbase.dll :) one in C:/Windows/System32 ...

It looks like this is Corona issue because cosmos started from vray toolbar works perfect. (but changes renderer to vray)

[Max] I need help! / Corona Sky and Sun, by default

« on: 2022-09-29, 11:05:00 »

Corona Sun and Sky

Did something changed in version 8?

Now default sun and sky need exposure -2.5 + some hard highlight compression,
other than that sky is slightly pink and everything gets pink vibe...


Or is it me?

Hi,
In the color checker manual it is written to take a sample photo in such a way that there is no reflection on the template (only albedo).
So the reflection is completely irrelevant.
To calibrate colors based on a color chart, I can recommend the free program darktable.
Getting the white balance right is very important.
