[Max] I need help! / Re: Forest pack edge mode not working well with IR

« on: 2025-06-06, 21:34:39 »

We were unable to reproduce this with Corona 12 Update 2 HF1 and Forest Pack 9.2.3. Everything appears to be working fine with IR nad production render.
If you are able to reproduce this using the above versions, please send us a sample scene at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Hi.
This actually looks like an example of it NOT working. If you render (production) that same scene, do you get a perfect circle or same result as IR?

[Max] I need help! / Re: Difference in brightness between VFB and CIE

I'm not using lightmix.
But now I can't reproduce it.
It was probably my mistake.
If I come up with the same issue again I'll post a video.

Thank you Maru. That works.
Except that "occlude other lights" needs to be checked.
(In this thread you mentioned it needs to be off https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=32357.msg181607#msg181607)

Look what happens if I uncheck occlude other lights.

Hi,

Please take a look at this video.

It seems the sun going through an opacity map on a Light material is causing a shading issue.

I'm attaching the files.

Is there a way to edit a proxy object that is instanced throughout the scene many times without having to update the path on each instance?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Re: CoronaBitmap doesn't display textures in high resolution on viewport

« on: 2023-01-24, 14:57:03 »

Hi,

CoronaBitmap uses the "Baked Procedural Map" value, not "Texture Maps" of the viewport configuration.


Good Luck

Oh ok!. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Please, see the video below.
It seems that CoronaBitmap won't show the texture on the viewport in high resolution.

We'll make a separate video covering the various mappings, in part that makes a nice split and keeps videos short, but also YouTube doesn't allow editing of videos and you have delete something and start again. But we'll be sure to cover it in video format, always the most useful! Meantime, I hope the info here helps you get the result you were after.

Sure. A separate video works too. My suggestion was mostly for others.
Thank you again.

Perfect! Thank you both for the prompt responses.
Thanks TomG for the detailed explanation.

I suggest Chaos adding this info to the end of this video.

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm trying to have one texture for the whole object that has corona Pattern on it. However, the texture is rendered for the node, but not as a general texture. Am I missing something?
Please, see video below:

There are two files that start with windows that belong to the Corona installation. "chaos license server supervisor" and "chaos unified login supervisor".
Those were disabled, probably by the IT guy, and was making Max startup much slower. Enabling them solves the issue.

I figured out why.
The license files in  windows startup was set to disabled. Enabling them solved the problem.

Please check if the same happens with Corona 9 Hotfix 1 - https://corona-renderer.com/download

Sorry, I do have Corona 9 hotfix 1 installed.

Hello,

I have a new computer with windows 11, Max 2023.2 and Corona 9.
When starting Max, it stops while loading plugins for several seconds at ChaosScatterMax2023.dlt and CoronaMax2023.dlr.
Is this normal?
It's very annoying.
Thanks.
P.S.: I don't have administrative rights for this computer.
