Error Loading Plug-in DLL

Anonymous — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 12:00:09 GMT

Hi,

I have been using Corona in 3ds Max Design 2015 on my work and everything works fine. However, something went wrong on my personal pc because I keep getting the following error messages:

Error Loading Plug-in DLL
DLL <C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\plugins\vrender 2015.dlr> failed to initialize
Error code 126 - the specified module could not be found.

and

Error Loading Plug-in DLL
DLL <C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\plugins\vrayplugins\hairVrObj2015.dlo> failed to initialize
Error code 126 - the specified module could not be found (null)

next err

Error Loading Plug-in DLL
DLL <C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\plugins\vrayplugins\vray_rtmax2015.dlr> failed to initialize
Error code 126 - the specified module could not be found

I have all the 4 dll from Corona, my 3ds max installation is new and I have 2012, 2013,2014 and 2015 MSVC redistributables .

Any solution for this problem?

Amol thanks,

All those errors relate to VRay (another 3rd party renderer). If the current renderer set in the scene is VRay and you don't have it installed then you will get those errors. In fact, you should have seen errors when you tried to load the scene. Ignoring such errors is probably not a good idea.
Any questions on obtaining VRay should be directed to the Chaos Group (the authors of VRay).

I also run Corona and I have been getting the same error message. Corona is set as my renderer, I've never used Vray. I think it started when I imported a V-ray file into my corona scene. Is that possible? If anyone has a solution please shout. I can't upload my file to Rebus because of this message

Hello @Anonymous ,

Reviving this thread to note that these errors are caused by elements in the 3ds Max scene having been created with an earlier version of V-Ray, and if V-Ray isn't installed on your machine, or isn't loaded as the Production renderer, those errors will appear every time you load one of these scene files.

The only way to eliminate those errors is to identify any V-Ray-render-specific properties still in your scene(s) and remove them (lights, object properties, helpers, materials, maps, etc.) (A more expensive alternative would be to purchase and install the latest version of V-Ray.)

Please let us know if this helps!

Hi Jon. Thank you for your response. I must have sent the query a very long
time ago, because I can't actually remember the scene I was struggling
with, but thanks anyway!
