Hello,

I've been using Backburner to do an animation with Corona 1.5.2 and what I noticed is that you can't change any corona setting in a job that's being rendered in Backburner. For example the sequence I'm rendering now takes 20 min per frame but when I look at the frames they are much sooner without noise, so I want to change the noise level to a high percentage. Unfortunately it's only possible to change native Max settings.

Could this be added in future builds?

Thanks.

All the best,
Joep

That doesnt sound possible a BB is running in limited UI-less mode - this is basically autodesk's decision: we will give you free render nodes, but do not allow you to run UI on them

That's too bad. But I'm happy it works flawlessly for everything else :D

I thought this request was about integrating some Corona specific stuff in the BB job settings (Ctrl-J or RMB -> "Edit settings...", see screenshot) which get saved into a xml on the manager alongside the scene. Would be nice indeed (e.g. changing stop conditions). But I think that´s not even possible or supported from Adesk side.


Good Luck
