Moved this post again - the "I Need Help" is definitely where this should go :) Gallery is for final images, and About This Forum is for describing how the forum works, neither are the place to ask for help :) Thank you for the two images, but you don't describe what each one is. Was one made in a different version of Corona, and the same scene is now rendering differently? Is one an inspirational image you are trying to copy, and you would like help with material and light set ups to make the two look more similar? Thanks for any extra information you can give to describe the question so that we or the community can give a helpful answer!

I made the first rendering in 2024 3D Max, Corona renderer10. Then during the render , program shut down and wrote to me about application error tried again rendering , but the quality was bad . After that i installed new 3d max 2025 and new corona renderer12 , thought this would solve my problem but nothing came out . the quality is still bad .

What exactly bad is in your opinion? I can see poor lighting, basic materials, awful texturing, lack of details, boring camera angles and super low resolution - none of those things are renderer's fault. If you want to get help, you need to clearly tell us what's the issue.

Hi,

If the render used to be like shown in the second image, and then suddenly it got bad, first I would recommend resetting render settings (Render Settings > Scene > Reset settings), and re-rendering - sometimes abrupt closing of 3ds Max can lead to such things.

If resetting doesn't help, then it should be mostly about lighting (maybe you are using lightmix and the settings have been reset too?) and tone mapping - the alleged "used-to-be" render looks more polished in this regard.

Hope this helps.
