Title: 3ds Max Lens Flare Effect in Corona
Post by: GuusJ on 2018-05-17, 15:09:07

Hello,

As 3D Designer this is my first topic on this forum site. I use 3ds Max 2017 in combination with Corona 1.7. (Demo)
Now I have a question about the Max lens flare effect. Under < Environments and Effects> tab <Effects> Add I select
<Lens Effects>. Under <Lens Effects Parameters> I select Ray. (So far so good ...)
Under <Lens Effect Globals> then <load) And select < Rays.lzv> The I pick the Corona Light I have created before.
And then I close the dialog box. When I render I get a error: see attached Image.

How can I repair this message ? I know how to repair it in Max, but not in Corona

Best regards,

Guus

I would restrain from using the 3ds Max lens effects at all. Those tools were developed millennia ago.
The error message seems to hint that the lens effects cannot be used with 32-bit formats. The solution might be switching to some standard 8-bit format like JPG, however I cannot guarantee that it will work.
