[Max] Bug Reporting / Re: Memory leak

« Last post by 394452216@qq.com on 2025-09-07, 08:15:45 »

I have already solved nearly a hundred similar issues, starting from the early days of Corona 1.7, including various NaN crashes and memory leaks. Many of these were caused by outdated parameters.

[Max] I need help! / different results with HDR

« Last post by 394452216@qq.com on 2025-09-07, 08:01:24 »

Corona renders produce different results at different resolutions. This issue occurs in both production and IR modes, because computer tests are usually done at low resolutions, but when rendering the final high-resolution image, the colors turn out drastically different. It’s very frustrating.

[Max] General Discussion / Re: Path Tracing always as Secondary GI Solver

« Last post by ONO on 2025-09-07, 05:59:16 »

If time is not a concern I'd stick to PT/PT. Even on exteriors, caching might result in a less detailed GI. If you don't know the difference you might not notice but from all side-by-side tests I've done PT/PT just looked better.

On interiors, I had a few cases where both secondary cache solvers would result in splotchy areas no mater what I did. While the 4K cache always produced better results, last time I looked there was still no documentation for it available so if you need to to tweak something you really don't know what the parameters do.

So for interiors we should use PT/4K?

[C4D] General Discussion / Workflow for using Chaos Materials

« Last post by caspian on 2025-09-07, 03:26:29 »

There must be a way for my Chaos materials to stick. I am constantly finding the materials I download from Cosmos browser to drop their linked assets when I open up a previous file, or copy objects from one file to another. Unlike native materials where I get a reminder, ”Hey, wanna copy these assets into the tex folder?" it doesn't happen with Cosmos materials. And I only notice that they are broken when I try and render and they are just black.
Is there a setting I should have changed so I don't have to keep bringing in the same assets again and again?

[Max] General Discussion / Re: Did Corona 13 just stop working/installing on E5-2697?

I attach the log files. I am not expert but it seems that the installation process stops on the unzip step.

Thanks!

There is a guide, part of the overall installation guide in our documentation at https://docs.chaos.com/display/CRMAX/Installation+Process - hope this helps!

Interesting...
Is there a guide of how to run the installer from the command line? I don't know how to run the installer through cmd, let alone to use that parameter. I would happily give it a try.
Also, is there a chance that v13 to be installed successfully through that cmd installation?

Thanks!

Hi Tom,
I tried to add the log to that chatbot thing but I don't know if it was added.

I don't neither know how to acces the ticket nor I received the mail.
Do you mind if I attach it here?
Here it is.

Thank you!
Manuel

So far all reports of this seem to happen on Win 10 (two users reporting this here on the forums, on a total of 4 machines). To take a look at what is going on, we'd really need the log from the failed installation. That log can be obtained by running the installer from the command line with the parameter -debug=3. If you could do that and add that log to the ticket, then that would be awesome and help us move forward faster. Thanks!
