Corona Renderer 7 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

[rowan_manns]

@Flavius

Hi, there’s another bug which I see in this daily build. The IR sometimes doesn’t work. It’s calculating something (see CPU usage) but the image doesn’t update. It seems to happen random. I have to restart the IR for it to work again. Anyone else encountered this? Thanks

Hi,

Do you have a scene where you can reproduce this which you would be able to send to us?

Thanks,

Rowan

I Installed now the new Daily Build and the Intel Denoiser crashes the Corona Image Editor as well…

Thanks,

Dionysios -

Hi,

Would you be able to send your scene + cxr over to us and I will take a look.

Thanks,

Rowan

As someone else posted, Intel denoiser now crashes 3dsmax. It hangs a couple of seconds then 3dsmax closes instantly, no errors, no warnings nothing.

Hi,

Would you be able to send this scene over to us?

Thanks,

Installed the latest build.
I opened a scene with a few V-ray bushes and grass (the scene was moved from a different HDD where texture paths were not set yet).

When an old corona converter is used, the converter keeps the bitmap nodes (even empty) and has the file name and last path.

When the same is converted with the latest converter - all empty bitmap nodes are replaced with a color map node.

This is the way converter handles maps, mixing with some color for consistency.
You must find the Bitmap node (even empty) way down below, the Bottom node for the Left Mix map.

Is Render to Texture broken with Corona?

[Scahek]

Good day! I sent a commercial commercial made on Corona Renderer 7 DB to Dropbox It was hard, short deadlines and most of the modeling, but something happened:) It is a pity that we did not wait for a full-fledged sky, but thank you so much for your efforts!!! I think the following will be several times better. We are thinking of making another English version:) Thank you again!

Hi,

Please can you provide some more info? For example; what exactly is broken, Corona Version, 3ds Max version and if possible a scene demonstrating the issue.

Hi,

Are you reporting a bug or some issue? I don’t understand your question.

@marti_d

Has anyone found out what the new “haze” in the sky model is or how it works?

Hi,

The haze isn’t quite ready so it has not been included yet. As of yet I don’t have a timescale for it.

Thanks,

Rowan

There has also been a note/question about the haze in the new sky model that has kinda been lost in the previous discussion.

This is something that is already implemented in the model, but unfortunately we have found some bugs in the implementation, just before we released the updated model in the daily builds. So for the time being we have hidden this feature from the UI, with plan to add it back in later builds when it’s fixed. This is also the reason why it was ticked as done on trello and then unticked again.

Ryuu, can you confirm that haze/areial perspective will behave similarly to the previously posted video from V-Ray, i.e. it will affect colours of the distance objects and not only just a sky itself?

[rozpustelnik]

As for aerial perspective - would it be possible to not affect the HDRI itself? Just the geometry in the scene.

Yes, haze affects everything in the scene, not just the background.

At this point there is no option to exclude the background and we’re not planning to add that in v7.

We confirm this not working and currently have it logged. Thank you.

[scionik]

Thank you. I hope to see this have been fixed very soon.
I cannot continue work with my project (with corona 7). Will try with Corona 6

Update.
Max 2021 corona 6 hf2 seems broken too

Hello, is CoronaVolumeMaterial in Corona Renderer 7 not work full?

Attached pics: 001.jpg - C6, 1.jpg - C7. And screenshot of preset.

The rays are visible only when the light source is directed at the camera, and then only half. The beam starts not from the light but a little further away. And those who are not looking at the camera are not visible at all.

Hello.
corona converter is not working properly.vray materials do not convert.

Hi,

Please could you provide the scene in question? Instructions on how to do this can be found in my signature.
