yes i am logged in and that was the message I received.

Originally it showed as green and then when I restarted my mac it went back to red. There is an issue with the license plugin on macs.

[C4D] I need help! / [solved] M1 - MacBook Pro - Licensing Issues

« on: 2023-08-07, 11:27:52 »

Hi,

Has anybody else experienced a licensing issue on the M1 Macbook Pro? After installation of C4D (latest release) and Chaos/Corona (latest release), the system shows as no license is available. It worked the first time I installed the software, but after restarting the Mac, the license was no longer recognised and it does not allow me to activate the licence.

This also happened on my old Mac Pro Desktop and the Chaos team had to change some functions through the terminal window to fix the issue. I already logged a call 3 days ago and no response from the Chaos team yet. (Job number #143453).

Thank you.

[C4D] Daily Builds / Corona 10 - CRASHES A LOT

« on: 2023-06-28, 18:56:16 »

It seems that the latest release of Corona 10 is crashing/freezing a lot more than the previous release. When I stop the interactive renderer, the window freezes and I am forced to force-shut-down Cinema 4D as it is no longer responding. I tried 4 different scenes and I can confirm that the problem persists.

Also, I am using a very simple scene containing 1 item and an HDRI ski.

I am using a MAC Pro Desktop 2013 (the trashcan).

[C4D] Daily Builds / Corona 10 for Cinema 4D - Daily Build 2023-05-15

 Dear Chaos and Corona Teams,

I have no idea what you guys did to the newly released Corona 10 Daily Release, but IT IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! Especially the Chaos Scattering function. I truly tried to see if C4D would crash and it is proper solid.

I added 500 random trees from the Chaos browser on a 200cm sphere and it behaved exactly as expected!!!!! Super fast interface, fast adjustment response and rendered Excellent! This was not as fast in the previous release!!!

Well done guys!!!!

Thank you!
Ian

Yes that is correct. I first imported the material from the chaos browser, did some edits then saved it to my personal asset browser, however it saves as a black material. When I exported the material from my asset browser to reuse it, it no longer works.

Ok, here is a step-by-step process I go through before the issue takes place.

1. The first image shows the material is imported from Chaos browser and the textures have NO GREEN TICK next to them. For the textures to be reloaded I actually have to press RELOAD TEXTURES.

2. The second image shows the green ticks as I hit the reload all textures.

3. The third image shows what the material looks like once I saved it in my personal library/folder and imported out again to my materials list. As you can see they are all blacked out.

4. The fourth image is where I am trying to hit "reload all textures" but nothing happens and the green ticks do not appear.

The issue seems to be that on a mac at least, when you import a material form the chaos library, the assets do not import with it, or at least their previews. There is a loss of data between the Cinema 4d default library and the chaos transfer process.

I hope this clarifies a little better.

You got it, so when you first upload the texture from the Chaos browser to C4D, the textures are NOT linked. After clicking on re-link textures, you get the green tick. HOWEVER, although the textures seem to be green, the material preview goes back to black!

If you are available tomorrow morning I can log in with you and show you exactly what is happening on my mac.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I understand regarding issues, hence I thought maybe there is a little quick fix I was not aware of. I do not have a specific scene that I should share as this is a software issue and no matter what chaos material I play with, they all have this preview issue.

As to the version of Corona, I am using the latest daily build released at the start of April, (Daily Build 2023-04-03)

H,

Yes, I am on a Mac. Replacing the authentic Corona Bitmap with a C4D bitmap is not the solution. I think that Corona materials should be able to generate its own material previews without having to replace them with other formats.
