3ds Max Batch Rendering Stuck in the parsing of the scene

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hello!

I noticed some days ago some strange behavior with Corona 7 Hotfix1

In some files when i put a list o images to render in 3ds Max Batch Render eventually one of this renderings get stuck in the beginning of the rendering.
More strange is that when I do a click in the VFB it starts to render normally.

But if you don’t click the rendering stay stuck for hours (made me lose hours of night rendering).

Me and my partner perceive this behavior only in the 3ds Max 2022 (but we didnt tested for real in other versions), it looks like is as 2022 problem.
We use the 3ds Max 2022.3 Update.

Hope you can help us.

Thanks

Ronald

I have just posted a ticket for a very similar problem I’m having using Max 2022 and Corona 7.

My error is not with batch rendering, just standard animation. Every few frames it gets stuck on “cleaning up” the scene, but clicking on the VFB UI seems to reactivate and it starts rendering again. This works for a while, but after 10-15 frames max crashes out.

I’ll reply here if I am able to get it fixed.

Something similar occurs with Pulze Render manager.
No issues with 3ds max 2020, but as soon as moved to 2022.3. the machine which submit the renders to is stuck on parsing.
The issue occurred not only with Pulze Render manager, but when batch render with Pulze scene manager.

Have the same issue with Pulze scene manager and batch render. It gets stuck on parsing scene. Has there been any update on this?

Hi everyone can you please try using Corona version 8 RC1 and see if the issue persists? (Build can be found here: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/ Corona Renderer 8 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Changelog #msg196056)
Please also make sure you have your windows updated with the latest updates.

Hi!

I have had the same problem with stuck of the 3ds Max Batch Render on parsing scene (with Corona Renderer 7 Hotfix 1 and 3ds max 2022.3).

I have downloaded Corona Renderer 8 Release candidate 1 and I have found a walkaround via disabling ‘Rendered Frame Window’ in Render Setup/Common/Render Output section. The batch rendering seemed to be stuck at the moment of generating/parsing new frame buffer window.
I hope that this will help you till a proper adjusment will be done.

Greetings,
Szymon

Hi Guys,

We are having some problems reproducing this one here in the office.

Could you

  1. send over a scene where this is happening (Instructions on how to do so are in my signature).
  2. capture a minidump of when the parsing is frozen and send this to us? Instructions on how to capture a minidump with process explorer can be found here: https://support.corona-renderer.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402983255313-How-to-report-issues-3ds-Max-#h_01FDY55JCQMR188S36A1F0SS1T

Thanks,
