[C4D] I need help! / Re: TEAM RENDERING ISSUE - PLEASE HELP!

One license consists of two things: a GUI license, which is used for displaying and using the software UI, and a render node license, which is used for rendering.
If you have 2 computers and you are rendering on both of them, then you need 2 render node licenses.

Hi, the Maxon App only affects your Cinema 4D license, not Corona or other Chaos products.
The error message says that Corona is not activated. Corona licenses can be checked by going to the Chaos License Server - http://localhost:30304/
Do you have enough Corona licenses to render on your 2 machines?

I guess real world examples / photo reference would help here.

I'm afraid that's not possible with Scans.

Hi,

Is it not allowed anymore to have multiple instances of Max opened and accessing the GUI-license with one machine, is it now restricted to the instance of max?

No, this should be working fine.

For any licensing or payment-related issues, please contact our support team at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Can you check if the same happens when you install Corona 13 on both machines?
We will try setting a Mac and a Windows machine and see if we can reproduce the problem.

The only idea I have is that perhaps you have automatic exposure enabled in the VFB? Please let me know if that's the case.
It shouldn't be behaving like this anyway, so if we confirm that, I will report it as a bug.

Thanks for the details. I was able to reproduce the problem when batch loading into Corona Multimap and when using the Corona Converter. I don't think this is expected. This is now reported to our devs as (Report ID=CMAX-1759).

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Chaos Corona 13 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

RC means "release candidate". It is a version released before the official release.
Corona 13 here is newer than Corona 13 RCs.
Moving from Corona 13 RC to Corona 13 release is not downgrading, it is updating.

Please do not use RCs for bugreporting. Are you getting the same issue in Corona 13? (final release, not a daily build or RC)

Hi, thanks for reporting this. Could you please:
1. Let me know what kind of license you are using? I am not accusing you of using un-licensed Corona or anything like that. Just making sure that everything is fine on our side with the ability to render Chaos Scans.
2. Check if the issue appears only with Chaos Scans or both Scans and regular materials? Scans have a purple icon in the corner of their thumbnails - see screenshot.
3. Send us any scene where this can be reproduced? You can attach it here if it's small enough, upload to some 3rd party service, or contact us here and attach it to your ticket - https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Thanks in advance!

« on: 2025-07-11, 14:26:16 »

I did some quick checks and it looks like the list is up to date, yes. Vantage doesn't support SSS from Corona at this point. We can't say that Corona and V-Ray support is the same in Vantage.
