[Max] I need help! / Problem; 3ds max Crashing on opening the compact material editor

« on: 2024-08-27, 11:15:15 »

Hi,

I'm on 3ds max 2023. Since a while i'v been dealing with 3ds max crashes on opening the compact material editor. First it was with Corona 11. And now with a fresh install of corona 12 hotfix 1. Not a 100% sure it is corona related.

Below is the error message.

I also have the error logs.
Please help. It is driving me crazy. I have to reastart max every 20 minutes. It works a bit longer if I refresh the compact material editor.

Thans kfor your help and time.

[Max] I need help! / Corona Sun & Sky in combination backplate

« on: 2024-07-02, 11:00:13 »

Hi,

I was wondering if there has been a workaround develloped for this problem (black sun / weird reflections). I refer to below post and the problems:
Is there perhaps a special "corona backplate material" available? I know how to work around this problem, but (as far as I can see) it just isn't really a nice solution.

[Max] I need help! / Strange shadow problem in reed

« on: 2024-03-15, 15:43:15 »

Hi,

I got some reed plants. They have flower tops (plums) that use a lot of single sided surfaces with opacity mask for the seeds in the plums.
When I get close to the plums they display (kind of) correct. But when moving back with the camera the plums get black. In the attached image you can see the same set up close and in the back of the image.
I replaced the material with a standard grey and that also kind of has the problem (not as visible though)

Is this solvable? Or should I simply replace the plum topts with real geometry? Could it be because there are too much intersecting single sided surfaces?

[Max] Feature Requests / Lights of Xref Scens in separate Lightmix layer

« on: 2023-02-06, 09:45:56 »

Hi,

Thanks for the great software. Love it.

We always use a lot of xref scenes (houses) in our final exterior scenes. This keeps our main exterior scene small.
In those house scenes we have lights (exterior wall lights etc.). When we build our exterior scene, we xref/scene those "small" houses.
But...all our xref-lights come in the "Rest" layer of Lightmix in the main exterior scene. Is it possible to have those xref lights in separate layers (preferably the layers they use in the source xref scene)?
Or is this a Max problem?

Thanks and best regards

Hi, I have the exact stupid problem. Did your problem get resolved?
With me, it is just 1 scene.
Anyone from corona knows how to fix this?
