[Max] Bug Reporting / corona converter with new license server not working consistently

« on: 2025-03-08, 10:20:31 »

Hi with the new server change I updated to the latest corona version and noticed corona converter was working randomly- i.e sometimes converts from vray to corona, sometimes doesn't. Re-installed corona, reinstalled vray and still the same thing. Sometimes it works, and others it doesn't. The thing is that when I'm working with corona materials across my scene there's no problem, but if there's a vray material somewhere, maybe from an old block or something, and that I haven't been able to convert, max crashes when rendering while parsing. No errors of any sort show up. Just a blank frame buffer. I've found that the only way to avoid this, after finding the culprit material, is to restart max and try corona converter until it works again. Such a shame as the converter worked so nicely previously...
using max 2022, and 64gb of RAM with latest corona
thanks

[Max] I need help! / CORONA LIGHT MATERIAL INVISIBLE WITH OPACITY MAP WITH VR CAMERA MODE

« on: 2019-11-22, 17:43:22 »

Hi
I'm having an issue rendering a corona light material with an opacity map with a corona camera in VR mode.
I'm using corona 4 with 3dsmax 2016.
The material renders fine with the same camera without the VR, and also renders fine with the VR mode if I untick the opacity map, but it won't render with the opacity map on with the VR camera mode.
I was initially rendering with a vray camera with a corona camera modifier, and had the same issue. Switched to a corona camera thinking this might be the problem, and I'm getting the same thing.
The material is applied to some flames in a fireplace. If I render in VR mode the flames are invisible as long as the opacity map is on (though they do emit light, as they are also in the lightmix).
Would like to know if anybody else has encountered this.
Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Re: batch render with interactive light elements

« on: 2019-03-13, 10:10:00 »

Hi
I upgraded to corona 3.0 yesterday because all the lights in my render elements were being erased in the dialog and tried to batch render a scene- I removed all the routes from each render element and I'm still getting everything erased. Also created a new render preset with corona 3.0 before trying to batch render. I'm using 3dsmax 2016
Am I missing something else?
thanks
