Hi everyone, hope some of you can help me.

I`m experimenting with Corona for sometime now. By the way, it's amazing, congratulations.

But, let's go for my problem. I'm trying to setup corona on a new PC, so I can experiment with distributed render.
The problem is it's rendering a complete black screen and numbers of passes goes really fast.

The max scene has only a box and a light.
All the setup is in default.
I have experimented with light intensity - Nothing happens
If I change the color of Environment Corona does change the color in the VFB but no object appear.
Adding more objects also desnt work
Materials also does not show preview also.

I`m using Max 2016. The same in my other PC (where everything works just fine).
This PC has a Intel i7 2.93GHz
GPU Radeon HD 4350
8GB ddr3


Any clue on what is going on here?

There was a similar case recently where the user was using Vray camera and didn't have Vray installed on the other PC. Maybe it's the case here, or some other plugin is missing?
Are you getting any error messages/warnings?

I reinstalled Corona
Activated a Demo License

But now it crashes Max when I open material editor and pick a Corona Material
Also, when trying to render it just freezes.

That's very strange. Maybe your Max installation is corrupted? You could try reinstalling Max.

I tried it.
Now I`m trying it again but erasing every trace of max in my pc. I remember having some trouble to uninstall max 2013 ( I had to force the uninstall).

Maybe it's a related issue.
