So all Chaos is going to do is justify it this way?
It's not even so much about the money itself. It's about the damn attitude.
I am feeling betrayed.
The responses are not worthy of someone who respects their clients and users.
I have always liked and been a fan of Corona Renderer precisely because this type of situation did not happen. There was a human connection when making a purchase and not a simple attitude of ACCEPT IT, IT'S IN THE CONTRACT, YOU IDIOT. That's how I feel today.

I know that, TomG.
I have an annual discount; I recently paid 454.80 EUR. A year ago, I paid 418.80 EUR.
However, I canceled the auto-renewal and changed my credit card to a new one, believing it would be a good move. Now I realize it would have been better to cancel the card and make a new purchase.
This stance by Chaos is shameful.

General CG Discussion / Feeling Cheated by Corona Renderer: The Impact of Auto-Renew During Black Friday
« on: 2024-12-03, 14:51:23 »
I have been a user of Corona Renderer since 2013.
Since it became paid, I subscribed to the SaaS service and have always liked the model.
However, it is with great frustration that this year I am feeling cheated and deceived by the company.
Last year I subscribed to Corona Premium Annual for 418.80 EUR. This year I was charged 454.80 EUR on Auto-Renew on November 29, 2024, right during Black Friday. In other words, if I didn’t have Auto-Renew, I would have purchased the year for a considerably lower price.
I asked support to refund the difference, and they gave me a generic response about high inflation and increased costs. But that was not my point. I was PUNISHED for having Auto-Renew enabled.
Apparently, Corona under Chaos’s management is following the poor management practices of Autodesk.
What a disappointment. What greed. What a lack of consideration for someone who promoted and cheered so much for this software.
Is anyone else feeling this way?
The original developers, who welcomed so many people who had difficulties buying the software in the past, what do they feel about this?
I hope the company thinks carefully about how to deal with people day to day, not just seeing the money.
Meanwhile, it seems that the Autodesk/Chaos duo wants to strengthen Blender/Cycles.
Let’s see where this goes.
Becoming a big corporation is truly a shame. They will fill their pockets with money and the hearts of their users with disappointment.

I hope that the Vray, Gaussian Splatting, and Firefly remover updates arrive soon in Corona.
BTW, where do I find an updated Corona Renderer Road Map?

[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Corona 11, 3ds max 2024 crash
« on: 2024-08-15, 10:15:02 »Hi, by any chance you have a intel i9 13900k or 14900k CPU?
Can you please clarify that if you are using Corona 11 or Corona 11 HF 2?
Hello, I have a 14900KS processor as well, and whenever I start a render or activate a scene, Corona crashes (sometimes 3ds Max closes, sometimes the computer gives a blue screen). what should i do?
I have a 13900K
It seems to be a Intel CPU problem.
I tweaked the maximum temperature of the CPU to 85º Celsius and Corona stopped crashing
Maybe with 90º would be sufficient, have to try.

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Minimum passes on Render Settings
« on: 2024-02-01, 13:09:53 »
Hello, good morning everyone!
I wasn't very clear in my request because I wrote in a hurry.
My suggestion is that there should be an option for a minimum number of passes. For example:
I want to be able to set an image to render for 10 minutes or at least 5 passes (even if it takes 15 minutes), if the 5 passes are completed within 10 minutes, the rendering would stop at 10 minutes.
I hope I've been clearer now.
This type of setting could also apply to time and noise level, as lollolo suggested.
Thank you,

[Max] Feature Requests / Minimum passes on Render Settings

I would like a implementation of the minimum rendering passes in Render Settigns (overriding other parameters, or something like that)
Thanks
Thanks

[Max] Feature Requests / Triplanar for all maps.
« on: 2023-12-13, 19:49:38 »
I think it would be interesting if the renderer had a selection button that applied the same triplanar mapping to all the maps used in the material.

[Scatter] 3ds Max - Bug Reporting / Re: Missing Chaos Scatter when installing Corona 9
« on: 2022-12-19, 15:00:09 »
Hi!
I'm having this issue.
Chaos Scatter doesnt install..
Already tried do uinstall all Chaos and Corona software from windows and reinstall.
But still doesnt installic Chaos Scatter.
I've noticed in other posts that some people made a "manually installation" of the Chaos Scatter.
Where could I get the files to try that?
