best great thks for corona team
1.4 is top of the line speed up with denoise and compartive FBX and multi render region ... just awsome ..
I bought 2 licenses , was better spent money ever....
:)

Thanks for the feedback!
So I am not the only one using bright Max ui. ;)

Bright ui collorscheme reminds me of days when i was modeling in solidworks and there were only one number after 3dsMAX.
-
old school :)

Old School- 3DS Studio: F1=2D module, F2 extrusion module, etc... No PS, T.I.P.S was the rage, we needed a $3K ATT&T Targa32 (full color). Any one remember R.I.O?
-
All my friends use black ui im the only one using gray still, i guess it has to do with brightness and eye feeling tired, im lucky i have never feel tired eyes looking at max ui i guess.

Too bad that in max 2017 the "light" interface looks almost unusable. Completely devoid of contrast and difficult to see. At least judging from the youtube videos.

It's not a great idea to work in a bright UI like this. Apart from potential eye fatigue, the reason is that if you do, you will most likely overcompensate for what your eyes are seeing in the peripheral vision and your image will be a little off in terms of exposure etc. This is why it's also not a good idea to work with a pure black UI either and why most decent software packages these days have a solid mid grey UI. Shake and other compositing packages lead the way with this back in the day.
Goodness only knows why the devs behind PDPlayer feel it necessary to have their application solid blue... it's truly hideous.

I wish I could set my whole Windows to Adobe-like Mid-grey UI. The Win10 Dark scheme (not the black one directly available in options !!) which you have to activate through registry just isn't complete and I haven't found any normal looking theme. (what's with the MacOS imitation obsession ? Looks stupid as hell).
I just want file explorer to look like mid-grey Bridge. And Chrome too.

Most of the programs I use I keep them in dark grey. Perhaps in other programs the gray is better balanced or something. And also perhaps it's better for color correction work.
But in 3ds max I mainly model either individual objects, or building environments. And many times the work is kind of technical and has less to do with composition and lighting.
And the max light ui is not really white. At least the old one. But more of a light gray.
It also depends a lot how do you keep your monitor. I keep it pretty dark because I constantly switch to white webpages, and text documents. With a dark interface I find I have to increase the monitor brightness a lot, making it more annoying when switching to white text documents.
But in the end I think how you got used to it has also a pretty big impact. After so many years getting comfortable to max ui, starting with 3ds max 1, the dark interface just feels unnatural somehow :)
Fortunately the max UI is very adjustable, so I guess I will try some colors balancing in the 2017 dark version.

Juraj, you may try this one. Not 100 perfect since it uses one of the contrast themes, but still nice. No 3rd party software and etc. needed :)

Thanks :- ) That actually looks good, but does it also modify that side panel thing ? I don't want that.. just the colors.

windows 10 not good

I actually find that max2017 runs a lot better on win10 than on win7. Generally speaking win10 runs great. whether people like it or not, win7 is getting old... very old.
-
true. Like it or not, Up-to-date Windows 10 is currently the safest platform to run Corona on.
-
Win 10? O my god! 3 PC.. a lot of problems... boot very slow, High CPU usage in Idle, System interrupt > 40% in Idle!
Win7 forever ^___^
-
Hmm, windows 7 very old ?
My main platform is win xp 32 bit :) With an older i7 and 12 gb ram. I know, only 3.5 usable. Kept with the more "minimalistic" classic gray UI.
I have lots of reasons, for one lack of time to spend a few days to migrate everything to win 10.
Every time I would change and write some code in cryengine, after saving the text the changes were instantly in the sandbox editor, while in win 7 I had to restart the editor.

actually some news for you guys, i was using also bright ui coming from sketchup and rhino and solidworks etc, after i started using max dark ui i developed eye problems and flashes and then i can't see and very very strong headaches and i have to not work for sometimes a day or two because i have to then be in the dark and resting. i noticed it after a few months and now am wearing glasses and go on a few checkups a year, the doctor says to go back to using bright ui like sketchups and old max ui since the eyes are more balanced with light and less contrast between the blacks and whites and especially in rendering with lights etc so i guess sticking with the bright old max ui is not such a bad thing. Also i must point out that that doctor did say it will cause fatique more often to use the bright ui but it simply means go take a rest and come back but longer working times with the dark ui is not recommended for me atleast. IDK if anyone else has had any similar experience but i have not had this headache in over a year now since i got this advice

like it or not? i don't believe this is the problem. Be forced to install win 10 to use Corona 1.4 do not think is correct. We work with 30 computers with Windows 7 and corona 1.3 and "everything works perfectly". We installed three machines with windows 10 and we only crash problems and low speed '. We would like to switch to an updated version of corona, but the thought of re-install 27 computers with all the risks that something then do not go well and blocks our workflow, I do not think we will upgrade until a few years when Windows 10 will ' fully functional. When we purchased the 6 updates of Corona was not that it was necessary Windows 10 to work best. We will continue our tests corona 1.4 on windows 7 and if it does not work we will change. Long life to win 7 !!!

I also want to encourage everyone to upgrade. I never liked M$ from the beginning and I´m basically against every upgrade/update not really needed. Not to mention the spyware aspects of Win10 (and late Win7, you can mute both - enough tools out there if you don´t want to do it manually, be carefull with them though) or the "software for identity" concept.
But: the best things happened here this year technically until now were a) upgrading all computers to W10 and b) migrating from 2014 to Max 2016, period.
It´s such a huge difference in responsiveness. Solely no more waiting up to 10 seconds until that f"(§&/! render setup window or material editor appears saves so much time. Memory management seems also a bit better (I had the opportunity to compare directly before and after upgrading some farm nodes with the same scene). It reminds me of the step XP->Win7. Still have to work out a minimal render node setup (services, startups etc.) to maximize resources on slaves though.
Just do a step by step upgrade of your computers, every box may be offline for 1-3h but that´s it. After that: logon and start to work with it again. You can even throw your Win 10 installation files from the mounted ISO into the network, copy them to any temp directory on your nodes and start setup (upgrade only of course) directly from disk. Unfortunately I found no option to upgrade slaves without attaching monitor, keyboard and mouse for at least a few minutes, that would have been perfect)
Installation/upgrade goes quickly and there was literally no, I mean NO problem with any of the computers afterwards (migrated 2-3 weeks ago step by step, everything runs smooth until now). Even domain integration (ok, not talking about roaming or mandatory profiles here, but that got a mess anyway since Win7) was migrated perfectly. So just do it and put the muzzle on Win10 when done.
Good Luck
