[Max] General Discussion / CShading_Lightmix Render Element Issue

« on: 2024-11-29, 19:44:57 »

Corona 12.1  - I have just noticed that CShading_Lightmix is not saved within CXR file. It's working correctly in VFB (I can see it in the list and edit it) but I cannot see it in the Lightmix list when CXR is loaded in Corona Image Editor. Am I doing something wrong?

[Max] Bug Reporting / Intel CPU/GPU AI Denoising Issues

« on: 2024-01-30, 15:29:12 »

Hello Corona Renderer Team,

Recently, I noticed strange behaviour of Intel CPU/ GPU AI denoiser. The level of denoising is dropping randomly, even when rendering the same scene twice in a row without any scene actions.

Here is a 20 minutes preview, all Corona settings are intact for both images. Image A has a desired denoise effect, image B is the exactly same settings but visibly lower quality. This randomly happens only with version 11, without and with hotfix installed. When I render image B again few minutes later without any scene changes, I get the same result as A.

FYI, Corona High Quality Denoiser works perfectly but at a time costs.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Corona Layered Material ignoring Show Shaded Material in Viewport

« on: 2023-12-08, 11:55:21 »

I have an issue with displaying textures in shaded viewports in both Corona 10 and 11. When I add Corona Layered Material to poly object, the texture is not displayed and is only blank, ignoring activated Show Shaded Material in Viewport.

Can you confirm?

[Max] General Discussion / Corona 10/11 - Corona Render Assets loading very slow

« on: 2023-08-08, 00:39:35 »

Hello,

When opening scenes with Corona Renderer 10 Hotfix 1 in 3ds max 2023/2024, the scene is loading extremely slow with the message "Loading Corona assets". It takes several minutes to load relatively simple scene with few Corona materials. And it basically freezes 3ds max window.

This did not happen with version 9.

Anybody having the same issue?

Update: the same issue is with Corona 11 HotFix 1 under 3ds max 2024.2

[Max] General Discussion / Corona Subscription Update by CHAOS

« on: 2022-10-17, 11:09:39 »

Hello,

Just got an email from Chaos Support with notification of Corona Subscription changes.
This is a bit confusing, stating that I will get one month of some Corona Premium for current price of 24,99 Eur (excl tax). After that, they say I will be charged 59,90 Eur (excluding tax).

I do not plan to pay double price, as we were told that price for long-term users will not change until we cancel current subscription.

Also, there is an offer of Corona Solo sub. plan (license fixed to one computer), but there is no info about pricing. I also cannot see anything about it in my account overview.

In general, a lot is happening with Corona but the process is CHAOS. Can somebody clarify the situation?

Thank you in advance.

[Max] I need help! / Large Carpet

« on: 2021-06-22, 16:29:35 »

Hello All,

I'm trying to re-create this large, wall-to-wall carpet:


I'm stuck on this task. Besides distant full room views, I need to render close-ups as on the picture above. I tried everything - Max Hair, Corona displacement, Corona Scatter. None of these give at least good results.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

[Max] Feature Requests / Lightmix - Display Config Name in Side Panel

« on: 2021-03-25, 10:54:33 »

Dear Corona Team,

When working with multiple Lightmix settings, I often switch between configs and often I forget which config is currently loaded. What about adding displaying loaded config name in side panel?

Something like this.

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Material Library - Organize and Download by Categories

« on: 2021-01-10, 11:57:18 »

Corona materials library is very useful, but it's quite huge and takes forever to load and render previews. Have you ever considered splitting materials into categories like Hair, Plastics or Wood into separated 3ds max libraries? I'm NOT talking about Corona Material Library but built-in 3ds max Slate Material Editor materials.

That way users would only load materials that they really need. For example, me as product designer, I hardly use roof tiles materials or wall materials or wood siding boards. This would also speed up loading Slate Material Editor and rendering materials previews.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Corona Material Library - Materials Doubled in Material/Map Browser

« on: 2020-03-13, 18:57:39 »

Hi,

Just noticed that all materials from installed Coronal 5 materials library are double loaded. It looks like the list of materials is loaded twice. When opening/creating scene, material/ map browser needs to load and render all materials which is pretty slow, but in this case it's twice as slow.

Removing materials from the list can only be done item by item, which will take me ages.

I have re-installed Corona 5, reset material/map browser, but it did not help.

Anyone with to how to solve this?

[Max] I need help! / Rebus Farm Distributed Rendering + Corona 4 + Keyframes

« on: 2019-06-20, 10:11:49 »

Hi,

When I want to render 3ds max scene with selected keyframe (one keyframe only), I got error message from Rebus Farm saying that Distributed rendering is not supported for keyframes. I'm using keyframes for rendering single/static images with certain modifications (camera positions, objects positions).

Is there any settings within Corona 4 for 3ds max, to be able to render static keyframes with Rebus Farm?
