corona 12.1. and Lightmix
« on: November 22, 2024, 03:50:28 PM »
Recently i installed Corona 12. update 1 and it doesnt render specific light objects (various Polygonobjects with corona light material) in each of their own Light-Select Renderelement - just the main ForrestPack_Object containing all light objects when added to a light-select element.

Before corona 12.update 1 it was behaving that way

FP-object containing multiple Lightobject A and Lightobject B

Lightobject_A --> Lightselect_element A = light only A
Lightobject_B --> Lightselect_element B = light only B
FP-object --> Lightselect_element_FP = dark no light

Now those individual light-objects get ignored and it only renderes the FP_object
Lightobject_A --> Lightselect_element A = dark no light
Lightobject_B --> Lightselect_element B = dark no light
FP-object --> Lightselect_element_FP = shows light of A and B combined

This is actually something that makes postproduction very complicated if i cant separate light-sources in Light-Selct / Lightmix anymore... and need for each light-object an individual FP-Object to be created.


Not sure if thats something the new corona verison messed up - or if its on behalf of updated Forrest.Pack

max 2025 / corona 12 update 1 / ForrestPro 9.1.5

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you're facing these troubles. I've done a quick test with the Corona 12 for 3ds Max, update 1, and as you've pointed out, it's now being treated differently (it seems to work just fine in the previous Corona 12 for 3ds Max, hotfix 1). Since the implementation is done by the Chaos Group team, please report it directly to them. Thanks for your collaboration.

Best regards,

I actually did.
Though I hope you will get in contact with Chaos figuring out - what this new update caused for issues with Forrest Pack.
