3dsmax - Distance Map often doesn't update object list when map is duplicated

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Issues
1

I have no scene for this as it sometimes works correctly, sometimes fails. Please follow these steps to reproduce:

  1. create a few objects
  2. Use some of these objects in a Corona Distance Map in a Material
  3. Copy/Paste (not instance!) this Distance Map to another Material
  4. Try to change the object assignment in the copied Distance Map (not the original)

For me, the objects in the list will often ‘stick’, or objects will only be removed/added when I exit the Distance Map and display again. Sometimes, objects in a copied Distance Map cannot be removed at all and require you to create a new Distance Map from scratch instead of just copying it.

Hi,

So far I have not been able to reproduce this.

Can you provide me with the version of Corona and Max that you are using?

Thanks,

Rowan

I had this happen with Max 2016 and v2, and it’s also happening with 2018/v3.

Hi,

Thanks for the information, I’m still unable to reproduce this though, even with v2, v3 and the latest daily.

Are you able to send me a scene and if possible a short video demonstrating this issue please?

Thanks,

Rowan
