[Max] I need help! / Re: DR Problem

After your post I realised that i had a problem with Backburner 2014 that couldn't be uninstalled. Deleted the backb files manually and used a tool from  microsoft to remove it from list (programs/features). After that everything worked perfectly! Thank you for you help!

If i render from slave and use the main pc as slave, it seems to be working. One strange thing is that the drData folter somethimes gets created in C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona\DrServer and sometimes in System32.

Hi!
The received_scene renders perfectly on slave, two days ago it gave me error that it was created with newer version of massfx, but the error disappeared. Backburner is inatalled on both pc's but I never used it.

The slave pc is built as a render node, only has max, corona and teamviewer. Service pack 1 for 3ds is installed on both pc's.
Regards!

Hi, I'm trying to render the corona test scene on two pc's, both are 4770k, Win 8.1, Corona v7.1, Max 2015.

I keep geting errors on the slave machine:

I have checked the gamma/lut setup on both pc's and it's identical. What could it be?

The button isn't working for me, Chrome/Win8.1. A workaround: Go to the link that Juraj posted, right click on the page - view page source, then using ctrl-f find https: and you will find the link to the model. Thanks for the great models btw!

[Max] General Discussion / Displacement edge tearing

« on: 2014-02-26, 13:12:29 »

My first post on the forum,

First off all, hi everybody and congrats to the developer for a wonderful rendering engine!

I am trying to improve my final exam renders and decided to use corona.
These are the original renders I made, modeled in autocad with my partner Rizzo Nicola and rendered using Vray.
The time was tight so I wasn't able to do everything I wanted, but now that my leg is broken I have all the time in the world :)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4n86bnlc3aorc1/2.tif
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1r1st5n72m3valk/4.tif

I started setting up the scene in corona, illuminating was a breeze, only need to sort the dark part on the entrance, maybe using a plane with CoronaPortalMtl?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/za74uofzrvmawkx/iii.jpg

I'm having some problems with the brick displacement.If I apply the displacement directly to the object, i get open edges (sorry for the not finished render)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/df2sh2nn8jcyrxe/displ%20problem.jpg

I tried a trick that user maru posted and applied a smooth modifier to the mesh with threshold value of 180 and I get this :(

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqecvp684v966k5/displ%20problem2.jpg

displacement settings are projected size 0,4 and max subdivision per poly 200, I tried with lower/higher values but I get WTF error bad allocation...

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post
