Title: [solved] Corona VFB won't show
Post by: JoachimArt on 2022-11-16, 14:51:08

Hi, I have opened a scene which is a standard scene and switched to corona after I did an initial render. But whenever I hit interactive rendering I see nothing and if I start render Corona will render the image through the standard 3ds render window but with Coronas render engine - but then I have none of the Corona options. The only way for me to get the corona render window back is to uninstall Corona and re-install - a restart of 3ds max won't help. But if I open the original scene again and then switch to corona, the same problem appear again and I need to re-install the plugin. Is there a way to tell Max to use the corona VFB again? This is a problem I have not had before Corona 9

Actually now I'm unable to get corona VFB back, even when I uninstall and reinstall Corona ! :(

See attachment of what I see. How can I fix this??

Did you check if VFB type is set to Corona in render setup>system>system settings>VFB settings?

Where do I find that? In render settings/system there's no options for that.

Hmm, that's strange, it looks that some rollouts are missing from your system tab. Maybe try to delete Corona config folder and restart the Max, see if that helps

Code: [Select]

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2023 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\corona

Nope that didn't change anything

I erased my entire ENU folder, that fixed it.

Hi Joachim, what you are observing means that your Corona license is missing for some reason.
As the first step, I would advise checking the data in your Chaos License Server. Do you have enough available interface and render node licenses of Corona?

If so, could you please contact us at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new - we would then look into our logs to find out what is going on.

Ok, that's strange. In any case, if some issues persist, please let us know.

Yes very strange, if my license would be missing I guess I wouldn't have been able to render at all ?
If it happens again I'll let you know, thanks!
