Title: Chaos Scans licence required
Post by: nejakymarko on 2025-09-02, 09:19:22

I have a Corona 13 license. I installed the trial version of V-Ray (only so I could use the Corona Converter), but I didn’t extend the license after the 30-day trial (I don’t use V-Ray).

Now, however, I can’t edit CoronaScannedMtl, because it requires a “Chaos Scans licence”. As far as I understand, Chaos Scans should be included with Corona 9 and newer for 3ds Max. I suspect that Scans are now tied to the expired V-Ray license.

How can I resolve this issue, please?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot for your reply, the issue is solved now. I understand that a separate license is needed to edit Chaos Scans materials.

Yes, the ability to render Chaos Scans is included with all versions of Corona, including Solo; the ability to edit them is only included in Corona Premium and above (so, the Corona ArchViz Collection), and the same is true for V-Ray. Trial versions are always of Premium, so when you had the V-Ray trial, you had V-Ray Premium which would have included Scans editing capability.
