Something's wrong with colour picker in December 13 build, the swatches are not keeping their colour and overall are acting weird. Also there's that annoying half-checkered thing, but that issue started to happen few weeks earlier, not sure if it's Corona's fault or bug in 3ds Max 2024.2 update.

Thanks for the report! We are aware of both things and investigating.

Fun fact: the "transparency" part of the color swatch is expected in some cases. For example, if you create an Autodesk Physical Material and change its diffuse color - you will see that the Corona Color Picker allows setting alpha there. But it should not appear in all color swatches. The fix for this is usually collapsing and expanding the material editor rollout again. So it looks like a UI glitch.

There is also picker always sampling black when using multiple monitors - (Internal ID=886677936)

Does anybody else experience crashes when using VFB history in Corona 11 and 12? Crashes happens without 3ds max error message and does not generate minidump. Could be scene specific, since it happened to me several times when working with certain scene.

[maru]

I am not aware of this. What exactly do those crashes look like? Is it 3ds Max disappearing completely so that you don't even have time to capture a minidump?

[romullus]

It happens when i want to do VFB history AB comparison - try to grab and move divider, but Max freezes for a few seconds and then disappears without a trace. Doesn't happen always, or even too often, but i had few such occasions in V11 which i don't recall to be happening in older versions at all. I don't do any rendering lately, but if it happens next time, i'll try to figure out if it's reproducible and if i can provide you with the scene to investigate.

[maru]

I did not manage to crash it, even in a non-teapot scene ;) , when rendering in various resolutions, IR and production render. If you figure out reproduction steps, please let us know.

[Frood]

even in a non-teapot scene ;)

Don't use such scenes, you may encounter bugs ;]


Good Luck

Found another colour picker related bug in Dec 13 build - IR is constantly refreshing when one is adjusting tint colour in Corona colour correct texmap.

Hi,

Every time I open a scene (on both PC's) I get the out of core error pop.

Disabling it, or resetting it seems to do nothing.

See attached for details. Max 2024.2, Windows 10. Daily build C12 Dec 13.

[romullus]

I don't get that error, but i noticed that even disabling out of core, does not completely prevents Corona from temporarily writing to the disk some OOC related stuff, which is quite upsetting TBH.

[aaouviz]

TBH, This out of core has been nothing but a headache since day one of its arrival.

I don't use it. I don't want to use it. But it still causes crashes, often, and now this annoyingness too.

[arqrenderz]

We do use it, Corona is NOT good managing the ram, we have 128gb in all systems and we Need to use it on various scenes in order to render, but the pulze plugin can interfere with the paths.

Hey,

I bet this is really frustrating. I have tried numerous times to reproduce this here, and I have failed every time. Can you provide a list of every plugin you are using and if you are using any render managers?

Cheers,
