[s]Corona Frame buffer not showing up by pressing the corona vfb toolbar button

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Help Required
1

Hi,

Is anyone having trouble with showing recently done renders in Max 2017?
The Corona VFB always shows up during render, but if I close the window, it is a goner. I can’t even reopen it to save an image that has been previously calculated.
is anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
I’ve checked to see if it opens off screen with Alt+Space, but it is a no go.

As you can imagine it is tricky to always have to do a new render to be able to access the framebuffer…
Kind regards and thanks in advance!

Never had this problem. Are you saying that pressing the toolbar button simply does nothing? No errors of any kind?

What happens if you go to render setup > show vfb?
Also 3ds Max Rendering > Show rendered frame window (I am not sure about the exact name - 3ds max currently closed :smiley: ) - it should show the image in 3ds Max VFB.

Hi, thanks for the follow up :smiley:

Nothing appears, no error message in the listener.

I will try to illustrate with a couple of images :confused:

I have no error messages, just a result of “2” using a little script command to re-enable the VFB

It was working fine, and now it started giving me this highly disruptive problem :tongue:

Update: Somehow it fixed itself when I changed to the native VFB, and switched back to Corona.
Go figure… :smiley:
Thanks all!
