Bumping this topic.

We on 3ds Max 2024 / Corona 12 Update 1 (Hotfix 1) and booting up a blank scene is super slow. The 2 main causes.

CoronaMax2024.dlr and ChaosScatterMax2024.dlt

Is there anyway to speed the process on these files?

Hi,

During v12 daily builds we have significantly improved the loading of Corona plugins. If they are significantly slower to load that other plugins during start up, then you probably need to check internet connection and/or license server, update it preferably. The slow loading of plugins may happen when e.g. Max is started sooner than license server is initiated, say after PC reboot.

Thanks Aram, we will look into it.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona Color Picker - Temp. [K]

« on: 2025-02-27, 11:22:48 »

Hi, 

I've noticed a small issue with the Corona Color Picker. The Temperature (K) value always defaults to 1700K when I reopen the window. If I change the temperature to a different value, close the Color Picker, and then reopen it, it resets back to 1700K instead of retaining my previous setting. Note, this doesnt effect my render. Its more a visual bug.

Is there a way to get the Corona Color Picker to remember the last set temperature value? 

Thanks, 
Neil

[Scatter] Feature Requests / Re: ChaosScatter previz and edit instances

« on: 2024-11-13, 17:37:10 »

Hi guys

One thing i noticed when editing instances in ChaosScatter is the viewport previz type switches to box.

I generally work with point cloud. Is it possible to keep the previz mode as point cloud whilst editing instances?

Cheers
Neil

This is by design. Box provides the smoothings editing/painting experience, that is why it is used. Also color of painted/editied instances is better previewed with Box.

yes agreed but from a visual perspective boxes dont really help. If I want to fine tune a trees position I need to keep toggling back to point cloud or run interactive to see its actual position. Moving instances in forest pack has minimal impact using point cloud so surely it can be done with ChaosScatter?

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Denoise in VFB not enabling

« on: 2024-09-25, 15:32:08 »

Has anyone noticed denoise not turning on in VFB?

Iv enabled denoise in render settings but in VFB its always turned off? With older corona versions denoise in VFB would automatically enable when turning it on in render settings.

You can enable denoise after render or during render time if you rendering locally but its an issue if you sending it to the render farm. Denoise wont kick in unless the box is check in VFB even if denoise is enabled in render settings.
