CoronaLight POV crash

Build timestamp: Jul 16 2014 21:51:07

Setting viewport to CoronaLight POV through Point-Of-View (POV) Viewport Label Menu sends max to crash. If one choose to save recovery file when that happens, it gets corrupted.

do you mean something like this?

Yes, exactly. What version of 3ds max is this? I’m trying it with 2014 sp5 and it crashes immediately.

same as you try - 2014 sp5
check other causes

will fix

fixed. The FOV of the view is hardcoded to light directionality. I cannot change it to a sensible value while keeping non-directional illumination in the viewport. When you increase directionality of the light the FOV improves.
