No flipped vertexes! I think it is related to polygons density. I don't know.

Hi everyone,
I have tried them all!
The only way to fill this hole in the scattering is by removing a large amount of polygons from the surface.
It is not related to the slope option, I checked.
There are no exclude/include.
And Why right there though? It is always there. Even if I clone the surface and I make some editing on it.
I don't understand.
I attached two images, in the second one the render is on orto mode from top to show the entire "alopecia" spot.
Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / Re: Chaos Cosmos asset disappeared.
« on: 2023-08-30, 18:49:18 »
Dear Maru, thank you for your answer. It is totally impossible because even if I have vray (just to be able to convert to corona) I never use it and I don't have the toolbar on.
So, maybe, for some improbable reason max/corona opened the wrong library. That was useful to me because I discovered other textures. I think that Chaos team should include some assets even if not perfectly compatible.
One can convert after and it's ok. Maru, your suggestion drove me to solve this problem. Thank you.

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Chaos Cosmos asset disappeared
« on: 2023-08-29, 12:54:24 »
Dear Chaotics,
yesterday [all my troubles seemed so far away] I was browsing Cosmos and I found a perfect plywood materials that I was looking for (see attachments). I downloaded the asset but Max seemed to be frozen so I did a forced shutdown of Max.
When I opened Cosmos again three of five plywood assets were not there anymore. I checked on my folder and I actually downloaded the 50cm plywood texture but now I can not see it on Cosmos. I updated to Corona 10 to check if that was the problem but it is the same. What can I do?

Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / Smoother shadow with HDRI?
« on: 2023-07-18, 13:03:45 »
[Auto-solved]:

I actually did what I wrote and it worked ahah! So blurring one HDRI in filtering option and using it only as light source(environment) and overriding what you need with a not blurry copy of that HDRI.

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Smoother shadow with HDRI?
« on: 2023-07-18, 12:46:04 »
Dear Experts,
is it possible to make the shadows coming only from an HDRI image smoother? I mean as it was made increasing the sun dimension but without using any Corona Sun (the typical Sun-HDRI linking).
I think the idea could be something like making the HDRI more blurred just for the light source, maintaing the direct visibility, reflection and refraction not blurred.
Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / [solved] material library not installed

Dear Maru, I will try! Thanks.
Before I would like to exclude more easy ways. I can see MaterialLibrary folder in this path. "C:\Users\Giovanni\AppData\Local\CoronaRenderer"; Should I try to copy (or cut) and paste this folder in the following path: C:\Program Files\Corona? This is the path that is indicated in the support article.
Moreover I have to say that sokme days ago due to a Kernel Power error (41) of Windows I had to reconnect the path of Corona for 3Ds Max as descripted on solution 4 of this article: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4526221582993-Corona-is-not-showing-up-as-available-renderer-and-is-not-present-on-the-plugins-list-3ds-Max

Before I updated Windows but I did not followed all the previous solutions (because the n.4 seemed the best). Maybe I could try to use solution n.4 also for this problem with Material Library missing or I could try to re-do  starting from solution 1 in the article? Thanks!

Hi Aram! If I restart/refresh the render in that situation the problem remain. If you ,as support, need this info I can check again.

I have the same problem. I tried all the passages descripted before and here (the same):   https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528221621777-Corona-Material-Library-is-not-installed-correctly-3ds-Max.
I saw during installation material library at the end with a quite long downloading (5.something Gb) anyway I still not have it while before I had it. Any solution? Thanks!

26
Dear Aram, as I said that was not the point. To make it working I have to unplug and re-connect the material.

27
@maru I tried that multiple times and on multiple files. It wasn't working.


Is there any way to see tone mapping changes in real time using tone map control? Even just in the VFB window or other ways?

28
Dear TomG, I have solved it! I did some testing and the problem lies in a little "bug" in Corona. In order to get the tone control to work I have to remove and then put the bitmap back in otherwise Corona won't make it effective.
Thank you!

29
Thank you so much, Romullus!!!

I've tried all the combinations, but when I change the tone mapping, the environment keeps changing along with the rest. I have already tried restarting the interactive render.
This is just a test but I have a job to finish and I don't know how to do it! Thank you very much!
