Title: Corona Sun Light doesn't work, but other lights work normally
Post by: tibg2012 on 2020-07-11, 18:58:25

I have a scene that is ready and being rendered, and I have two workstations. I made the scene in my main workstation that has 3Ds Max 2020 + Corona 5, and it works perfectly. I only had Max 2019 in my other workstation, and it had this problem that any sunlight wouldn't render, it just appeared as some disperse white specks throughout the scene, and I figured it was related to the different Max versions, so I just upgraded to Max 2020 and tried again; it didn't solve the issue, it still doesn't render the sunlights.
Any ideas what could be the problem? There really isn't anything different between softwares and the scene is the same, since it's syncronized with Google Drive.
The image with the specks  is the one with the problem, and the image that has the sunlight appearing normally is the other one.

I had the same with dropbox.
I had stroke around a house hidden behind trees and it was perfect in Photoshop.
Saved it to Dropbox and the stoke became broken up, extra dots  around the bottom of the image.
Could be a problem with storage, the way it saved and recompiled.
Think something like the transporter in star trek, saved  broken up, and reassembled ....badley.

Please try resetting the licensing files by removing them as instructed in pointa A.3 here:

Then re-activate Corona. This is known to fix similar issues.
