1.2 Corona Sun crashes Max

[mathos]

Hi, I'm having some trouble with the new target based sun - when I'm moving it with the gizmo and with interactive render ON it crashes my Max after few moves - sometimes I want to add a bit of extra highlights by combining and HDRI with a sun - and thats when I need to match the sun to the HDRI's sun position as close as possible. With the previous sun system it was much easier, at least when it came to setting the rotation, then the angle/height was not such a problem since it was numerically adjusted. I really appreaciate the new free target sun, but was it really neccessary to remove the previous angle/rotation system altogether? Couldnt there be a switch between these two?

Thanks

Matej

have you tried 1.2.1? There were a lot of improvements in it

Oh that is great tip thanks! And my bad - we are currently using 1.2.1 so the unstability is still there. Anyways thanks and looking forward to 1.3!

So you are getting crashes with 1.2.1? If so, can you share a scene, record a video of the crash, and/or send us a minidump when it crashes? We need that to fix this

Any progress? Any minidumps?

Are you still having this issue? Have you tried latest Corona 1.3 release candidate? Can you provide us with minidump?
