Nope, DR Server and Standalone are unrelated to this.

No idea what may be wrong, but have you tried reinstalling Corona and Vantage?

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Problems Rendering Animation!
« on: Today at 11:53:44 »
Some time ago we published an article explaining and showing what is going on and how to fix it: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/33844546706193-My-rendering-is-very-dark-or-black-I-am-having-issues-with-reflection-and-refraction
We do understand that this is an issue and most importantly it is hard to diagnose so hopefully we will at least add a notification when this situation occurs.

I had some good experience with ChatGPT o4-mini-high with the "deep research" mode enabled. If a script doesn't work at first, I just order it to fix it, and after a few attempts it usually works. I wasn't asking it to write anything very complex though.

This solution was recommended by AMD since that Windows Update contains a specific fix which they assumed would help in the issue we described. According to multiple users, it did solve the issue for them.

Is your texture using an ICC profile? If yes, then the issue is that 3ds Max / Corona is not ICC-aware.
Recently there was a discussion about this.

The change in Corona 12 Update 1 non-hotfix was accidental and in hotfix we reverted to the previous behavior. Currently we are not planning to change it.

Hi, perhaps the scene is so complex that it requires more RAM? If you would like us to look into this issue, please submit a support ticket at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

RGB primaries set to "auto" should give you the correct results.

If you mean like in the windows to the left, then I think a procedural noise map in bump channel with a very low bump value should do the trick.

I still don't get it why not model a sphere with thickness by modeling a sphere with thickness. :)

It was indeed Corona assuming that the camera is inside a volume due to an object with no thickness with refraction enabled. In such cases, I can recommend the following:
1) Adjust the problematic material - either by disabling refraction or by enabling the "Thin (no refraction)" option. This way the camera won't behave as being inside a volume anymore.
or
2) Go to Render Setup > Performance > Development/Experimental Stuff rollout and enable the "Use legacy medium resolving" option. This should fix the rendering, but it globally changes how volumetric effects such as refraction and absorption are computed in Corona.

« on: 2025-04-16, 14:48:15 »
There could be something like a "desaturate first" checkbox next to the tint option. Feel free to log this as an idea at https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/

Can you share your results from the other render engine? What engine was it?
