[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: 3ds max closes without crash report when closing Interactive rendering

« on: 2018-07-06, 17:01:16 »

It doesn't really freeze. It just closes :-(
I just had it occur during an auto save while I was trying to close a script window, so I'm not sure if it's even linked to corona.
I'll try to see if there is a minidump but I don't think so because it doesn't seem like an error is registered, it just seems like it closes the program without saving or something.

I'm going on vacation right now, so it might be a while (maybe next month).

[Max] Bug Reporting / 3ds max closes without crash report when closing Interactive rendering

« on: 2018-07-05, 11:03:58 »

Sometimes when I close the Corona Interactive window it closes Max without a "do you want to save" nor any error dialog. I'm not sure why.
It seems that I need to check if my RAM is cleared after pressing stop before closing the Interactive window, otherwise I lose all my work.
I've had this during Max version 2018-2019, and Corona version 1.7-2.0.

What am I doing wrong?
Is it 3ds max?

Thanks everyone for the input, This is my first time posting something on the this forums and it's very friendly and helpful here.

I think I found the effect that I need (see attachment). I do need a beter model with probably less tubes to let it look realistic, but I'm not the one designing it. But still a better model is certainly the next step.

I included screenshots for the material setup to if anybody's interested.

In my last example the lights don't really look like lights, It looks more like white tubes. I tried a bit of bloom on the image but the white plane in the background gets way more of a light effect then the fluorescent tubes them self.

This I true, although this is not the desired effect.

Maybe it's easier just to show what I'm trying to accomplish.
I'm trying to get this effect.


The furthest I got (see attachment) is where I put a self illuminating material on the fluorescent lights to get a bit of light/shadow effect on the tubes them self, and put a big cylindrical corona light over the whole pillar to get a good lighting effect on the surrounding. But this doesn't look quit right. I think I'm doing something wrong here and that it's probably the way I'm trying to recreate this is wrong.

Does anyone have a better Idea?

I'm trying to fix this issue I'm having, where the lights in the scene are rendering out grey. Both the corona light as the corona light material.

Anybody has any ideas how to fix this, or what I should try next?

I'm using 3ds max 2018 and Corona 1.7
