Corona 8 Support

Hello!

I can’t say which release Corona 8 support will be added in, this is just patching in extra paths for Corona 8 executables. So beware this doesn’t support any new features if Corona 8 has upended how Deadline currently talks to it.

To use it backup these files and directories in case you need to revert these changes:

  1. DeadlineRepository10\plugins\Corona\
  2. DeadlineRepository10\plugins\CoronaDR\
  3. DeadlineRepository10\scripts\Submission\CoronaDRSubmission.py
  4. DeadlineRepository10\scripts\Submission\CoronaSubmission.py

Then copy the DeadlineRepository10 folder from the attached Corona8.zip over your own repository folder to update the files.

Thanks Justin, I added in entries for Corona 8 on the previous scripts (and the 3ds max DR) and it worked ok, not sure if anything else has been added here. Grateful for all the plugin updates on the forum.

There’s nothing but updates for the Corona and CoronaDR plugins in there, just the .param updates you’re familiar with and adding 8 to the list of versions in the submitters.

Hello,

Is there any update for Corona 8?

PS: Thank you for the patch!

9 is out now, I imaging the same changes will allow usage

I’ve reports of Corona 9 not working with Deadline.

I’ve run a quick test with 3ds Max 2022.3 with very basic scene and this doesn’t work for me. Will modify the plugin to see if the standalone will work around this.

Hi,

I’m reviving this old post to report that Deadline 10.2.1.1 with Corona 9 hotfix 3 works and Max 2022.3.11.
Taking instructions from Justin, I’ve added the same lines to the .param files and the .py submission files.
After a few attempts, I’ve noticed that Corona couldn’t start, and indeed, I was getting the following errors as Corona wasn’t installed correctly:

2023/11/20 20:22:43 WRN: [07280] [00292] Missing dll: coronamax2022.dlr - Corona

I’ve created a custom “plugin.ini” file that I placed in the 3dsmax submission folder. Inside the file, I’ve added the following:

[Directories]
Corona=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2022\Plugins

Now Corona 9.3 is working correctly.

Hope this could help
