[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Corona 12 Crash

« on: 2024-08-22, 12:52:24 »

Corona 12 h1 still broken for me had to downgrade again!!! I will wait now until I install windows 24h1.

Same here. I've given up and reverted to 11.2, what has windows 24H1 got to do with the installer crashing max?

Just a quick question for you  since our issue is typically the same ( Corona 12 crashes max on launch  after installing it), do you have Memory Integrity turned on or off under core isolation for windows 11? could it be possible that windows is somehow blocking the .dll file for corona, i once experienced this in some certain older versions of 3dsmax and had to turn that setting off.
I haven't tried reinstalling corona HF1 after disabling this windows setting. All the other suggestions from corona support did not work as well.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Corona 12 Major Memory Leak

Yeh it's none of that, these are models I've used plenty times in the past, i'm literally merging them in from older scenes using Copy/Paste script

I'd also ask you to check if you have any meshsmooth modifiers on any models in your scene and collapse it. I noticed this with previous version of corona, It happened randomly. in some scenes I had.

Waiting now for Hot Fix 1

Did you submit the crash report, I haven't gotten to doing this yet cos I've been busy, hopefully, hotfix 1 fixes everything.

Hi,

Sorry to hear that. Does 3ds Max load and then crash or it does not load at all?

In such cases, doing a ENU reset is a known possible solution:

Please try this and let us know if it gets solved.

Nope. Resetting max didn't solve the problem. I've done a bunch of troubleshooting, which included doing a clean install of Max and removing all related folders (including those in registry)
Updated system bios and graphics card drivers to the latest.
Installed corona 12 only without other plugins. And max just shows an application error window on launch and crashes.
The first crash report I got after all these steps points to CoronaUi_Release.dll
Subsequent crashes just pointed to 3dsmax.
Max version is 2024.2.1

Would be lovely if this plugin is capable of aligning Coronasun with the sun on the HDRI. I hope you can implement it in the next release. Thank you.

General CG Discussion / Re: Vantage and Corona

Hey Philip, don't worry, you're not alone :)
It would be really cool if we could get Vantage for Corona.
I asked about this in Corona 8 webinar, the answer was that it's not planned at this moment.
I hope this will change in the near future.

allow me to also add to this: Vray 6-beta, has got some amazing new stuff coming, clouds, geo-pattern tool, rule of thirds built into the VFB etc, do we expect these to be implemented in coming versions of corona?; seeing as both applications are now under the same roof. I've also looked at the roadmap for corona 9, kudos to the team, though the list of items to be covered feels more like a finishing touches to the current stable corona 8 release.

[Max] I need help! / Help! Running two instances of 3dsmax with trial license

« on: 2022-04-24, 11:53:20 »

Hello, I've been testing corona 8 for a few days now. I tried running another instance of 3dsmax while doing a render on another, (same versions of 3dsmax), but corona says all licenses are in use. Does that's mean I can on render on one at a time using the license? Also it doesn't seem to find any licenses at all for chaos scatter.

[Max] I need help! / Corona 7 plant/leave textures almost black after converting

« on: 2022-03-13, 14:42:23 »

I've been having a small issue with corona 7 and 3dsmax, each time I convert legacy materials to physical materials, leaves or texture or some trees/plants renders almost black like it's lost all its translucency. Its mostly happening with plant or leave textures. Other things seem fine. Anyone experiencing this? Is there a workaround to make them render as it should? I mostly experience this when using globeplants library.

[Max] I need help! / Corona Renderer and 3dsmax 2020

« on: 2019-07-06, 16:14:40 »

Hello, I just upgraded to max 2020, and i have a little issue with corona 3.0 installed in max 2020, it takes forever to open scenes done in corona 2.0 because version 3.0 is trying to convert displacement to the new improved displacement. The larger the scene, the longer it takes, sometimes it just doesn't load at all, the cursor keeps spinning and i have to force close max 2020 after waiting for about 30mins - 1hr, The size of the max files are usually between 200mb to 1gb.

Secondly, when the scene finally opens, selecting corona scatter which was created in version 2.0 in  max 2019 with wire-box mode display on; freezes the viewport, it recovers after about 30-40mins, but freezes again once i click anything so long as corona scatter is still selected until i successfully delete it or switch display mode for that scatter from wire-box mode to points. Has anyone experienced this?

I upgraded to max 2020 because i discovered that Using VrayHDRI map in the environment map slot no longer lags when you try rotating it when the environment map displayed in viewport; it has always been an issue in older versions of max(2016-2019).

Hello, I recently installed corona renderer 3.0 (hotfix 2) to try out. I've having an issue with scattering grass and other objects. corona scatter freezes 3dsmax once i select a distribution surface,  is any one else experiencing this issue.
