A7 - Crash when applying Camera Map Per Pixel Map

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Issues
1

I’m getting a reproducible crash whenever I try to use Camera Map Per Pixel as a map in a CoronaMtl (or anywhere in general).

I remember it was working in earlier versions, but I’m not sure.

I has tried and it working normal in the A7 and in the later builds.
If it crashes with empty scene?

It crashed both in an empty fresh max scene and in a project. FYI, this was in max 2012/Win7. I’ll check now with max 2014, maybe there’s something in 2012 that makes it crash.

Tested:

2012 - crash (confirmed for A7 and Daily / build timestamp Jul 16 2014 21:45:34
2014 - no crash (tested with 7.1 RC3 only)

Didn’t test 2013 and 2015. So whatever it is, it’s only crashing in 2012.

I cannot reproduce the problem. Do you have the 3dsmax updated? Could you send me a scene that crashes for you?

Strange. I have the latest product updates. Max 2012, PU 12.

Sending a scene makes no sense since it happens also in a fresh scene without any content.
Reproducible here with:

  • choose Corona as render engine (and matedit)
  • assign CoronaMtl to a slot
  • assign Camera Map Per Pixel to a map slot

crash

What’s strange, it does NOT happen when I do this with a Standard Material, even when it’s previewed in the classic matedit with Corona as the matedit renderer.

Bump

Is anyone else seeing this on max 2012?
I am not sure what is causing this (other than Corona) so I’d be grateful if anyone could test this on max 2012.

Works here - tested last daily and A7.2, both with max 2012. Can you send me minidump it produces?

9

Tested.

Latest DB for max 2012 (timestamp: Dec 6 2014 16:53:28, newer builds are not being compiled for max 2012 it seems) works fine.

Alpha 7.2 (Corona as matedit renderer):

  • works fine when ‘Camera Map Per Pixel’ is applied to a standard material, both rendering and matedit
  • crash when ‘Camera Map Per Pixel’ is applied to a CoronaMtl

Minidump attached.
