Checked, looks like it works fine!

As C4D newbie I didn't understand one point:

2.Go Edit - mat preview - material default project- select  Corona_01(GI)

When and where should this be done?

[Old man]

In C4D preferences.

thanks, this works too :)

I placed it in a folded button for easier access of the materials (less clicky stuff).
It's a great script. Thank you!

Sorry, i work in C4D.

[IzaiPiotr]

not so sorry :)

This is great, thank you for your effort! The architectural glass is very useful, especially since i was using a variety of CPU intensive glass for buildings so far with caustics and absorption layers that took forever to render.

Great stuff!

Hi Old man thanks for the nice materials!
R14 crashes though with 'Corona Glass Frosted'
the other materials work fine.  weird?!..

Hi, mlon. I made them in the R16. The R17 works well. In other versions not tested.

We'll look into this at some point. Created a bug report:

Any chance you can re-post the files? They've been working great in V17 but i lost the files when IT rebuilt my machine for windows 10, and i forgot to backup the profile-roaming-maxon folder.

Yes, indeed :)

(Script not tested in the R18).

[digitalmarley]

Thanks for re-posting files. Tested scripts in c4d r18 with Corona A6 rc 5 (core 1.5 (hotfix 2))

and works just fine, except the luminance material, which gives you a warning about the legacy emission value and to use the new corona light material instead.

Also a note about R18 and the recent build of Corona, is that there is a new 'corona' pull down menu option in the materials manager that allows you to create a light, portal, layered, ray or volume material. In previous versions you would have to right click, add corona material, and there were a few more material types that are no longer supported.
