[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: LUT error when opening Corona 8 scenes

« on: 2022-05-30, 08:31:49 »

With Corona 8, I get an error message every time I open my scenes. It says that Corona couldn't load my custom LUT. No matter how many times I reload the LUT and save the changes, the error will show up when I open the scene again.
This never happened in previous version.

Any news about this? Has it been addressed in the the new Corona 9 version?

Hi, there were two issues reported here, of which one was a bug with LUT load order, this issue has been addressed and fixed: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=36810.msg199437#msg199437

Fixed issues (Non-Standard Format error) when loading different types of LUTs

As for the initial error reported in this thread I am afraid this has to do with 3dsMax asset tracking/ENU and not Corona itself. If your error is persistent we can do some further troubleshooting and see what's causing it.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: C8 Bug - geometry is missing when rendering - sky also looks weird

Hi

It's within all views including perspective view & all scenes including new scene.

No I did not delete any files before going add/remove.

Is it possible to archive and send us the bathroom scene for further investigation? Something must be causing this inconsistency.

I opened an C7 scene in C8. And here is the render. No geometry visible when it should be a bathroom. Perspective view looks like this too.

Can you please clarify if this occurs from all views/cameras of your scene or with that specific view you've rendered. F.e. that free perspective view which I assume is being rendered from top down of the scene, I am asking because this looks like a bug that we already have logged where volume effect of Corona sky would cause this stripe/gradient effect. If possible please send us your scene archived to investigate this further.

Are you using any 3rd party camera scripts/mods in those scenes?

Here's what I get when I try and roll back to 7.

This is expected.

Via the Corona 7 installer & via add/remove programs to remove Corona 8. And if you hit ok it just goes in a loop and doesn't uninstall. Really hard to be objective here.

I am afraid I cannot reproduce this, did you manually delete some files before trying to uninstall?

Any news about this?

Hi, the Substance team is notified and I believe already addressing the issue.

I just noticed something that has to do with this issue. In Chaos Cosmos there are models that also have metal materials where there shouldn't be any.

For example, import 'Vase Flowers 63-21' you will see that almost all materials are metal! I would expect that these models would be checked before publishing?

I really like the addition of Chaos Cosmos but i think this needs to be checked and fixed, i noticed it before with 'Vase 006' too.

Thank you for reporting this.

Hi everyone, as discussed with DPS on this thread https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=36762.0, can you please verify if you are loading the CXR locally or not?

So it works locally.

Perfect, so there is the issue, this is a bug most likely I ll try and reproduce this and report it to the dev. team. Please stay posted, and thank you for the cooperation.

I'm using 2020 and the cxr saves to/and is loaded from a file server (NAS).

Interesting, can you try and load it locally please?

One more thing you can try, re-run Corona version 8 setup and select custom installation, make sure that Corona Image editor is selected. Can you please clarify which version of 3dsMax you currently have installed? Also, where is the CXR file being loaded from, locally?

Hi again, I am guessing these are the correct tone-mapping parameters right?



Can you please try and delete the "Corona" folder, located here \AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2023 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\corona and try to load the CXR again within CIE, if it fails at first please close CIE and try to re-load it.

My first render using C8 and this problem occurred. I rendered it using Backburner to one of my nodes. DBR was on using another node - all appeared normal.

I watched the progress using remote desktop & I made a few tweaks (as per usual) whilst rendering.

It finished up and saved as per usual but when I opened my cxr as it looked like a rainbow - with most tonemapping parameters set to 0.

Thoughts?

Hi, can you please kindly provide the CXR file?

« on: 2022-05-23, 08:35:29 »

Those are correct. It is strange that it is much harder to replicate for me today, only 1 out of 30 opened cxr files had the settings reset, opening it a second time gave me the correct settings. I don't know how the image editor works but it feels like it doesn't have time to load the settings saved in the file and therefor resets them. So maybe this issue is not connected to the resetting of tone mapping in 3dsmax files with xref's.

We've had luck with a similar issue that loads incorrect reset vales for operators, and there are some issues with the order of scenes being loaded, I believe it might also relate to the current issue here. If you ever manage to get a reliable reproduction please feel free to write us back, we can also schedule a video call to assess the issue directly, it usually helps.

I had to use the dropbox link, the uploader is not working, every time i press upload the captcha says it expired and i have to do the captcha again only to have it reset on me. You're sure not making it easy for me :(

Apologies for the troubles and thanks for the files, can you please specify what should the exact parameters of the saved config be? It loads the following for us:
