[Max] I need help! / Corona Volume problem

« on: 2022-12-03, 01:49:48 »

Hi all,

I don't know if this is a problem with the latest version or if I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to put fog in scene but I want to control height, I'm using Corona Volume mtl with Corona distance map I applied volume on box (camera is out of box), for "distance from" I put road, problem is that fog appears only above road not in box, I tried to put other stuff for distance and fog appear only on the area of that selected object.
Everything about Fog/Volume mtl work, but I want fog inside box that I created over my scene where I applied Volume mtl. It would be great for next version to get some height,fade options inside Corona Volume mtl

Apparently no one cares neither here or on Chaos support/forum.
I needed to deliver renders 4h ago, I'm trying to explain to my client the situation, but he also doesn't care anymore, and now he wants the deposit money back.

Thank you friend, do you know if they have support 24/7? It's urgent for me as never before.  I already submited a request on Chaos.
Yea, a lot of things have changed with corona, some changes are better some worst.

Hello
My license has stopped working, I have been a long-time user, and never had this problem before.
Ussualy when my license expired I would need to go in settings, copy the ref number, take the activation code from corona website and activate.
My license is auto-renewed every month, currently on the My Chaos under my products, my license is renewed and valid until 14.Sep.
In the settings I don't have anymore option to manually activate the license, when I click 'Activate license' I got Chaos Licensing windows that says : Failed to get license for product corona....
I had WIN10 update before I notice this problem.
Win10 Pro 21H2
OS build 19044.1889
I'm in the middle of the project, need help fast! Thank you.

Since we are moving towards Chaos this and that... can we also get ChaosFur into Corona? Will that work? When will it be implemented if ever?

Obviously, Corona has a lot to offer and it surely gained a lot of steam by joining Chaos, yet from my subjective point of view - of someone that abandoned Vray years ago - it looks like Vray is slowly copying coronas features yet Corona is not doing the same vice versa.

Best regards,
Mike

Sadly, I'm thinking opposite. I think Corona lost a lot of steam when joining Chaos, i'm following Corona from the beginning, and i know there is super talented devs in Corona, but man, with more money, more resources, more devs joining corona, help from chaos devs, i see only problems, version after version comes out not fully finished, bugs, missing release dates they set in Trello, before we had 2 versions per year, now 1 (anyway, i'm cool with this).
Cards listed on Corona Trello been first implemented in Vray then Corona, don't know if this was just timing, or Corona devs needs also to help with some stuff in Vray.
And on top of everything, I can't imagine Corona devs being able to release any version without this great community on this forum. They reporting all bugs, problems, and testing not-released software for free.
If anything, by now they should have caught up with Vray and have features that we missing from Vray and other engines.

I just hope that my post will not offend anyone, it's just my view on things. I'm still rocking Corona v7, and for what I use it I don't have any problems, except ram optimizations.

[Max] General Discussion / Re: Corona Render 6 Development Update Pace slowing?

« on: 2020-07-13, 02:26:35 »

Is not just you.
Following Trello roadmap, they already postponed release date 2 times, first release date was "end of May", the second one was needed to be last week, and that is just i believe for RC version, stable one can take again from 1 week to month.  So with the current "estimated" release date in August, i think we will not see the Stable version before the end of that month.
I love Corona, but there is not much noise like before. It's sad that now when Vray & Corona are under the same roof, i was thinking that Corona team will have additional resources and help to move development on another level, but no, i as a customer think that they slowed down, maybe is Covid19, maybe is something else, i also wouldn't be surprised to know that Corona team worked on some Vray stuff, i saw that they have now exactly same sun/sky model. Remove public roadmap if you guys can't fulfill what you put there.
