Since updating to Corona 5 on my workstation I have encountered this problem in I would say 75% of my max scenes when I hit render.
In the rendering dialogue, when the current task gets to Computing sec. GI the progress bar will get to around 90% and then just hold. the time elapsed keeps increasing but essentially max has crashed. Hitting stop or cancel doesn’t do anything and I have to stop Max in the Task Manager. This is happening on the simplest and lightest scenes. I have tested it with just one piece of small geometry and it still happens. Only since i updated to Corona 5 has this problem occurred.
I am having to rebuild scenes from scratch to get them working which is taking up a lot my time during the day and isn’t ideal.
Has anyone else had this issue? I am using Max 2019.
Yep, as Romullus said, it would be great to investigate those scenes.
Just one idea - what is your RAM usage when UHD Cache calculation freezes? Is it possible that it’s because of running out of RAM?
I also thought about the RAM but it levelled out at 9gb. I have 64gb installed.
I just uninstalled Corona 5 and went back to the last version of 4 and the scenes rendered perfectly straight away. So it does seem to be something related to Corona 5 and my setup.
Any solutions on this subject? Because I’ve same problems with sec gi calculations. 3dmax|64gbram|corona5
Pretty heavy exterior scene, but on the previous render version no problems were noted
