[Max] I need help! / Moonlight?

« on: 2015-05-29, 11:50:19 »

Can anyone give me a hint as to how to create realistic moonlight in Corona?
Its something ive never been able to figure out in other renderers and i cant seem to achieve the right effect with a corona sun.
Any ideas?

Thanks guys
Jack

I am using network textures yeah. I cant really change that though because if my scene is picked up by a colleague at any point they would have to manually remap them which would be a right pain. Im glad others are seeing this error too though and its not just my machine.

It has happend in multiple scenes of diferent sizes. Step 1 i render the image after some material changes or something else. step 2 i stop the render. step 3 i adjust the lighting step 4 i render the image again. step 5 the render stops at parsing scene.

Ive narrowed this down to a single set of actions.
I Render my scene, its too bright so i go and adjust my lights. When i re-render it sticks on parsing the scene. I just tried to dump out the process but it caused an unexpected reboot. This seems like a pretty big problem...

Yeah i used process explorer. I wasnt aware of the mini dump. Is that a seperate function or is it created at the same time as the process dump?

No theyre all standard or corona materials. Ive switched to the old school browser and it doesnt happen. Im pretty sure its something to do with the process of rendering the tiny previews you get in the new browser.

Hi 2014 with all service packs. ill soon be migrating to 2015. I Just tried to dump the process but it completely locked my computer and i had to hard reset.

Its max design if that makes any difference

Hi, ive noticed that since the Latest version was released (this didnt happen in A7) the material/map browser window where you select your map type crashes and takes up to ten minutes to load if you have a custom matlib loaded. the preview renders dont appear and any clicking will instantly crash max with a not responding white screen thing.

The max dump is over 2gb so i can send it if needed if there is an upload box?
Thanks

Yeah checking the cpu load and ram useage it has just frozen the ram and the cpu load is <1% so its a complete freeze. are there known issues with multiple lights in a scene? i have about 26 lights in the scene at the moment.

It doesnt bring up a max crash dialog unfortunately. it just stops responding completely. the only way to exit it is to end the process.

Rendering at 1920x1200, i have 32gb of memory in my machine so i doubt its running out.
The scene is very basic. its a counter layout for a shop and it has less than 100k polys. It sometimes renders fine, ive had many renders from the scene, other times it completely crashes. It says parsing the scene but the progress bar stays at 0.

Just a freeze, no errors or close i've left it for over an hour before and its definitely stuck and not just being slow.
