Thats strange Tom, I didnt have any issues, at all
Have you tried, delete it from User macros and drag again to viewport to intall it again?

Sorry, that's up to some vray user to fix. Looks like (some?) vray render elements have no "name" property. I have no license any more and cannot solve this right now. Possible solution would be a fallback to the class name as it is done in the collect section above and to test for the name property every time.
Good Luck

Thanks a lot, Ill try by myself, if not Ill try in the forum.
Thanks again i really use this more from Corona because of all the Lightmix render elements that needs to be included.

@tom
Sure, I also edit it to be macro you can find it as "Render Elements Organizer"
Im trying to add a button to rename elements too but I cannot find a way to do it, the only script that I have found is too old and its not really what I expected

I used one of the paid models (o4-mini-high) with its deep research feature turned on.

Ohhhh, I have heard something for that, well thanks for the Script, its pretty useful, the only thing that needs is an scroll bar to adjust the size, I have done it manually.
This is something I had request in 3d Max forums but no luck with Autodesk to improve Render Elements, it needs a redesign, its pretty old.

Here is a script ChatGPT wrote for me. I didn't thank him to save energy, so let's thank him here.
It can be used to move render elements up and down. You need to re-render to see the effect in the VFB though.

I always find incredible how people manage to receive something useful with ChatGPT, I have used it in many situations with no success

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Select by Material 3ds Max 2026

« on: 2025-05-03, 16:55:49 »

Confirmed from Autodesk, its an issue caused by an update to Vault that its affecting not only Select by material but another tools too:

"Unfortunately, an update to a Vault/ DevExpress component broke this functionality in the Scene Explorer code. This also affects a couple of other functionalities such as Select By Name in XRef Objects and Unhide By Name. 😢 It will need to be addressed in an update."

[Max] Bug Reporting / Select by Material 3ds Max 2026

« on: 2025-04-28, 17:24:19 »

Hi
I cant use Select by Material in 3ds max 2026, it select a random object on any scene, has anyone encounter with this issue too?
Its also happening in Vray, maybe its a 3ds max bug, but I have found some issues only while installing plugins, I have reported this in both forums too.

[Max] I need help! / Re: Corona 12 Update 2 Vantage Live Link

« on: 2025-04-25, 19:24:18 »

Also let us know what is in Vantage Live Link Address, in System Settings in the Render Settings dialog (you can probably compare that to some equivalent setting from V-Ray, I haven't looked for it yet :) )

Corona Vantage LiveLink - Address: localhost: 20701
Vray LiveLink server on port - 20701
Vray LiveLink v2 server on port 20703

I have tried with both and still anything :(

Hi
I have installed update 2 for Corona 12 and  the Live Link to Chaos Vantage isnt working, I have tested on different simple scenes and it always fail, from the toolbar and the System Button, I dont have any  issues with Vray.

Have you checked if the materials have a CoronaTriplanar map?

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Chaos Corona 13 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

« on: 2025-03-03, 20:05:40 »

Hi
Im testing the newest Daily Build (chaos-corona-13-3dsmax-daily-2025-02-28.exe)
CoronaMix map has changed its behaivior, heres an example of the same material, in Corona 12 update 1 hotfix 1 and with the new one.
This is messing with all the materials that are using CoronaMix, could it be related to "Added mix alpha option to CoronaMix map"
I have tried recreating the material and its giving me the same new ressults, could we have a "legacy behavior" option like other maps or what can I do to restore the old behaivior?
The only "solution" is to turn off "perform mixing in sRGB space" but it seems thatt the color is not the same
