Chaos Corona 12 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

[maru]

Just noticed right now that vrscans materials don't render correctly, sometimes objects appear as transparent or semi transparent...

Can you share which exact Scans are rendering incorrectly?

[cgiout]

Hi, the vrscan called rca96517.vrscan which is a carbon, renders semi transparent. Carbon stripes render solid but the rest is completely transparent.
While another carbon called carbon.vrscan renders completely correctly.

The material rca96517 does not render transparent for me. In the attached scene, I placed a rectangular light behind the teapot and it appears fully opaque.
Please provide exact reproduction steps.

Hi Maru, here you can see what's happening. Sorry i reported the wrong vrscan. It was the ccx3300. I tested it in a clean scene and the problem doesn't happen. The scene that has the issue is very heavy and memory consuming so maybe a RAM saturation issue?

[maru]

I can't reproduce it. Which exact version of Corona are you using? Could you send us any scene where this happens? (it can be just one object with the problematic material)

I have no idea how Scan Mtl works but maybe they need correct face normal orientation due to the nature of the data (it comes with captured normal info)? In other words, could it be that normals are flipped on that geometry...?

I'm running Corona version: 12 (Daily Build Jan 29 2024)
Full-speed, Non-debug, MaxSDK 2024

I tried to isolate the object and it renders correctly but unhiding all the things the issue happens again.
I don't think it's a normal issue since with other mats it works.

@cgiout I have create a support ticket #216163 for you - you should receive an email notification

Creating or selecting a corona camera crashes 3dsmax 2024 with daily march 5

"Create Corona Camera from view" works, but I can confirm that using the "Create Corona Camera" from the toolbar does indeed cause a crash, even in my basic starter scene. BTW with crashes minidumps are always useful, info on how to find it is here https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4649117083409-How-to-report-issues-3ds-Max

the same!

[maru]

The camera crash is now reported.

(Report ID=CMAX-838)

With the recent Build (chaos-corona-12-3dsmax-daily-2024-03-05.exe) theres something strange with Scatter toolbar

[TomG]

Ah the new ultimate in minimalist interfaces! We figured everyone had it all memorized by now so that you could just use it like  touch typing.... just kidding, there is a bug here (for me the toolbar becomes text and not icons), ought to be a fix in the next daily.
