Hi,
it's been mentioned phoenix foam and splashes will be supported on the next daily build.....I was wondering, when are you planning to release it?

I apologize if this has been already requested.

Kindest regards,

F

As soon as possible. :)

I can see the Render Setup dialogue window is "rendering" to long. Redrawing takes a lot of time.
Is this happening only with Corona, or with other renderers too?
Maybe this will help? See "possible solutions", especially point 5: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000011479

The next daily build candidate is in QA testing right now. If we managed to fix all the bugs introduced by new features without replacing them by a different set of bugs, it should be released today. If not today, then almost certainly by the end of the week.

Regarding the new bloom and glare: will we also be getting the lens scratches, lens dust, obstacle image and filter image like v-ray? Aperture shape currently is a somewhat simplified version, will it be overhauled with the same settings as v-ray?

AFAIK the internal prototype has the same settings as V-Ray does. Since there's a shitload of them, I would personally prefer to try and simplify the settings somehow, but we didn't look into that yet.

Completely agree!

HI!
I’m an old fart at 3ds max and used to use compact material editor, it doesn’t display OSL when choosing textures. Is it possible to fix this?

3ds max 2020

Thank you very much!

Hi,

This works fine for me. AFAIK this could be something to do with your local Max version.

Since this is not related to the daily builds, please can you create a topic on the "I need help" section of the forums.

Cheers,

Rowan

This is a Max problem as far as I know, not sure if really a Corona problem. OSL for some reason doesn't display in the browser when you want to assign a map through a click on a map slot, you have to use the 'Get Material' button to see OSL. Yes, it's very cumbersome to nest map that way... I have reported this but never got a response - if you report this to Autodesk chances are this gets a higher priority.

It is only possible not in our universe.

Now I have discovered another problem with the camera. The geometry disappears when I control the geometry through the camera, for example: selection, movement, and so on.
I selected the geometry, everything in the camera disappeared, I need to move the camera so that everything appears again and so all the time, I have to turn on the perspective.
This problem arises on the second project in a row.

Second problem
There is an old project that sent you a long time ago, it was created in Max 2016. Opened in Max 2020, now every time you cancel the render, it crashes 3ds Max. Corona 5 version, this is not observed.

Do you suspect it's Corona related? What camera you're using? Native? Corona? Vray? Is it happening only with the daily builds? In any case, you should start new topic in bug reporting, or i need help board. This isn't the right place for this.

If there's a crash, there's a minidump. Please attach it to your report, or upload it to Corona private uploader. It is not enough to say "it crashes" - devs needs clues.

Well, this looks nice!

No PhoenixFD here unfortunately... did we get anything on the max fluids side in regards to motion blur? I'd certainly love to see this.

Hi guys - i think something is majorly wrong with the wirecolor/mask elements - take a look - very weird behavior?
