Chaos Corona 12 for 3ds Max (Hotfix 1)
This release brings the following improvements and bug fixes:
Improvements- Disabled history autosaving for sequences and for render nodes during distributed rendering. This is to avoid popping up a blocking confirmation dialog about history item deletion when the user is likely not around.
- Added bakeIthLightMix function to MAXScript to allow baking parameters of a specific light mix element.
VFB 2- Fixed issue where several of the new parameters (Bloom&Glare compute after rendering, IR resolution lock, VFB history settings) could not be accessed via maxscript.
- Fixed issue where interactive rendering would disable denoising blending in VFB2 for the following production rendering.
- Fixed errors when switching color management mode while IR is running.
- Fixed crash when using "scene-linear Rec.709-sRGB" space in OCIO mode, when the scene contains dispersion.
- Fixed pick and region mode turning off after IR is started.
- Improved rendering speed of the Corona Tile Map on high core count machines.
- Fixed crash in Corona Pattern occurring when using a pattern object with degenerate triangles.
- Fixed issue where changing aperture parameters did not refresh VFB2.
- Fixed rare crash while switching from zoomed-in production rendering to interactive rendering.
- Light select names in VFB2 now update after renaming and re-rendering, also when editing a specific CXR loaded into the VFB.
- Fixed issue where VFB2 could crash when deleting a history item without using VFB2 controls.
- Fixed issue where light mix was reset when docked IR was started.
- Fixed dialog resizing on render start to adjust its size to contain as much of the rendered image as possible.
- Fixed locked IR resolution second dimension value being wrong on entering (due to upscaling factor).
- Fixed issue where VFB2 was not updated when render stamp was changed from MaxScript.
- Fixed issue in Corona Image Editor where tone mapping in rare cases could look different than tone mapping in Corona VFB.
- Improved frames per second in docked VFB.
- Fixed issue where NVidia denoiser was not applied during production rendering. Added missing refresh of VFB when denoising is done.
- Fixed issue where IR was restarted while VFB dialog size was changed even though its resolution should have remained unchanged.
- Fixed copying of colors between different color swatches in Lightmix tab.
- Fixed issue where 3ds Max would freeze when history item deletion dialog is shown after rendering finishes.
- Fixed saving of CXRs for light mix elements.
- Fixed bad_optional_access error when opening Render setup dialog during rendering.
- Light mix layers can now be toggled by clicking on their names, not just the checkbox, same as in the old VFB.
- GammaCorrectionOperator present in .conf files is now handled correctly - the operator is removed from the pipeline and the rest is loaded correctly.
- Fixed issue where real-world mapping was not applied on some materials imported from Cosmos.
- "Show VFB" now also raises the VFB2 above other 3dsMax's dialogs (as VFB1 did).
- Fixed IR restarting/changing appearance after Render Setup dialog is open.
- Fixed issue where VFB would show when updating a scene with docked IR running.
- Fixed color management update when loading a Corona scene with another renderer being set as default.
- Fixed issue where old V-ray materials could not be rendered/converted.
- Fixed incorrect position/scale of VFB2 after restore from previous session on multi dpi monitor setups
- Fixed issue where scatter edge trimming would in some cases incorrectly trim instances.
- Fixed issue where minimized VFB stays hidden when rendering starts.
- Fix of not updating VFB2 when option "Lock 3ds Max during render" is enabled.
