Title: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D
Post by: Siger on 2018-04-30, 10:55:24
New project / line launched (will be available soon).
Corona for Cinema 4D materials.
I have to say that working with Corona for C4D is simple and enjoyable.

Some SSS polished marble materials previews.

This will not be a full featured plugin.
Only material libraries for C4D Content Browser - lib4d file (with internal organized folders), contains empty C4D documents with materials and previews. Textures will be in one directory (to be specified global search path in C4D preferences).

Yeah, those look really nice. I would buy an automotive-based library in a second. Not only am I short on time, but to learn more about Corona. I'm guessing you will have to remake these when the node system ships.

Is this a plugin with new shaders or more of a better-looking library?
Title: Re: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D

Library.

Post by: Rhodesy on 2018-05-03, 10:50:09
Great to see. Im curious to know what the specific difference will be between the max and C4D versions. Does the Max version use procedural shaders and the C4D version use a collection of bitmap based textures? I'm always a little wary of shader balls - look great but often the material tile is so small the repetition on a large surface is really noticeable, especially with things like marble. Substance source is very guilty of this. Are you planning to perhaps show some scenes with larger surface areas showing off how they expand to larger surface areas? 
Title: Re: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D
Post by: Siger on 2018-05-03, 11:27:02
Yes, some scenes will be rendered. But, large marble slabs is a little complicated to scan. My scanner can at once scan only 28 x 150 cm area.
In future this is planed and agreed with one company. Currently marbles (and other stones) are (real size) 1 - 1.5 sq.m.

Silestone Is  great source for high res "slab" textures (1:1), you can download a zip of each color on their site  http://silestone.com
Example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4ffsbii1ufq7wmh/slab.jpg

Querkus Oak offers a large high res collection of oak wood textures. Can be ripped from their site (as I did 2000x4000px). https://www.querkusdecospan.com
Example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/h7xjlsn6n7p4xn4/oak-retro-harlem-plaat-7.jpg

Sigershaders are commercial and I can't use images from other sources without commercial agreement :)
Also, as you can see, textures from http://silestone.com  is not from real stone slabs (for example Calacatta marble, etc). These are generated from various 2D noises :) In SShaders used only scanned from real stone textures (custom scanner).

perhaps it is better to wait for the node material editor, before selling the materials on the market. do not you think?
Title: Re: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D
Post by: Siger on 2018-05-04, 10:35:30
Do you think that it will be on sale right now? There is a lot of work.
And how node mateditor can change materials? Except convenience of work ;)
Title: Re: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D
Post by: fabio81 on 2018-05-04, 10:39:43
I think that when the node node of materials comes out, it will become a standard for Corona as it is still on 3ds max. However, according to the roadmap should come out for June / July so we are almost there.
good job! :D

Actually, the node editor won't mean that the older materials won't work. We will keep the backwards compatibility of course.

That's great to hear.
I am looking forward to nodes but for a quick material setup, nothing beats the old way in ease and speed.

It's time to update the major Sigershaders for Corona | C4D version.
What is planned and underway:
Redesign of all materials;
Most of the materials will be Physical material based (requires Chaos Corona v.8.x);
Separate library databases for C4D R21-R24 and R25+ (Content Browser/Assets Browser);
All texture maps will be inserted into the database (no longer downloadable separately);
Material assets will be saved in the database, not C4D scenes containers (direct drag'n'drop to material editor or object);
Scenes for testing materials;
New texture maps and corrected old ones...
Around 20% of the work is now complete.
There will be a change in pricing to a subscription-only model from the moment the new version is available. For active Maintenance Plan users nothing changes (the price remains the same), Box license users will be able to upgrade to the new version with a €50 discount on the sign-up fee.
Purchasing a license with a Maintenance Plan now (before the new version is available) will be slightly cheaper than later.

All downloaded and installed in S26.

Is there something special I need to do to make the metallic carpaints load into a scene with the layers working?

Hello Thx for update v3

But Carpaint shader need relink when drag and drop (base  + flake manually)

Title: Re: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D
Post by: Siger on 2022-05-29, 20:10:53
Unfortunately, the Content Browser and the Assets Browser break links with other material on Layered Material.
Carpaint are the only ones using Layered Material. I will experiment, I will look for ways to create the material in one Physical (it is possible).
In the meantime, it's a matter of manually linking the materials: not difficult ;)
Title: Re: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D
Post by: leo3d on 2022-05-29, 21:52:20
No matter

your welcome :)
Title: Re: Sigershaders for Corona | C4D
Post by: Philw on 2022-05-30, 07:18:19
Yes no problem linking - just checking :-)

Would be good to use one material with the clearcoat - I’ve done some car paints of my own that way with acceptable results (not completely happy).

Thanks
