OH MY GOD!!!

I checked everything changed the render engines and all, but never thought to check the material editor source... GOD, I feel stupid!

Thanks

[Max] I need help! / Material previews are black

« on: 2022-04-11, 12:44:48 »

Hi,
So recently, this happened entirely out of the blue.
I managed to get the materials preview back last time, but I have had no luck so far.

• I reinstalled corona
• re-initiatedthe licence
• restarted max/pc
• sacrificed a chicken during full moon

Any ideas on what can I do?

I'm on MAX 2020, with Corona 7 from 11 Aug 2021

Yeah, I know it's big.
It's a wedding, and lots of table proxy and plants are scattered around. Plus, it's a glass marque, so you need to see the park area around.

My 5950x ran at 30% because the virtualised RAM couldn't feed it data fast enough.

I've got 64GB of 3200 RAM, and Corona said it needs to virtualise another 120GB.

I don't think it's a matter of RAM though, as I managed to push through the problems in the end.
The renders seemed to work for the live preview some of the time, and some of the time, I had to switch to the production render.

I can't say I noticed a pattern to it. I rendered two views and then it would freak out. Another day I couldn't get one going.

The two attached visuals were really troublesome, despite using Corona scatter's "limit to viable area" option.

I dragged a selection box around everything and saved it to a new file.

Still no luck

Is it possible to upload an archive of the scene for us to investigate it?
PrivateUploader: https://corona-renderer.com/upload

Any idea what might be wrong?

Just some basic stuff like "in your proxy there were some flip normals and we fixed it automatically."

Sometimes the scene renders fine and then all of a sudden just all the geometry becomes invisible and I can only see the corona sky in the background. Sometimes switching to perspective helps, or creating a new camera deas the trick.

Yesterday it took me half a day and fury starts just to have the same render same file no changes is just works or doesn't at random

I've reset the settings to no avail.

@Philip Kelly
If it were the doggy pints the scene wouldn't render fine so far.

They are off.

This just started happening at one point. I didn't change any camera settings.

Hi, I don't know what happened, but my renders just went to hell at one point.

The scene was rendering fine until I opened the project one day, and this happened. Sometimes I could get around it with interactive rendering, but recently even that failed.
All my geometry seems to be gone in all but one camera. The render takes a bit to compile geometry, but then the render takes 5sec.
Normal rendering mode shows me the HDR background and nothing more.

Any ideas?

Thanks
