Hi all,

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Render quality Max vs C4D in Corona

« on: 2020-04-02, 12:41:24 »

My question is: Is there the same with Corona?

Yes. Just look at the gallery in this forum. You will always see difference between Max and C4D. And it is basically the same difference as with the V-Ray for both of them.

I totally agree! It can be the same render core and everything ... maybe it's just something with C4D or. restriction.
Even now i notice the difference when vray bought a corona that the quality changed to that typical blur vray render as soon as they started using dmc, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry, not sure what those images represent? The filenames are different, so it's different versions of the scene? Or the same version but just different job name, so you mean the same scene with zero changes submitted at different times gives different results? Which farm is it? There's not a lot we can do with render farm performance unfortunately, since we're not in the loop on their set up, both hardware and any custom software they are using - things rendered on a local farm we can diagnose more, but on an external farm, it really comes down to the user talking with them (then perhaps they can contact us if they have something unexplained, and they can share more info with us for us to look into things).

Hi Tom,

In a previous post was a test of the identical/same scene with the same settings as seen below (in a previous post) on another farm. There are two different render times for the same scene also on this render farm.
So i'm asking if maybe there really isn't any issue in the corona render.
Because on two different farms is happening the same for the same scene with the same settings, it's weird to me or. is this possible to have such a differences in render time for the same scene/same settings?
I can also send you a scene and you take a look

Regards, B

I'd definitely raise that with Rebus support, now that you have results from another farm to compare with - unfortunately we don't have any say in or control over how render farms set things up, that is totally up to them. At least now you can show them proof that this isn't a "Corona thing" and is dependent on the farm set up in some way.

Hi Tom,

I think something is also wrong with the corona on another farm because there are weird times for the same scene with the same settings?
it's a little too weird for this to be repeated on both farms

Regards, B

Well, if it's rendering without errors on your local machine, it wouldn't be Corona I would say. How long does the scene take to set up on your machine (ie how much of the time is Scene Parsing and Geometry, in the VFB stats), that would give you an idea of the part of rendering that can't be done faster when distributed to multiple nodes, each machine would have to do that for itself. Then it contributes to the actual passes part of the renders, and that part of the time should be, say, 25 times faster (though maybe less, maybe more, depending on what nodes they distributed it to vs. your local computer).

As a note, TR is not the world's most robust system, and in general for large resolutions (which resolution was this?), you can need to adjust the TR settings - they should be set to Arbitrated, and then the packet size should be raised (e.g. 128MB vs 2), and the interval to send should be raised (eg to 30s from 5s).

EDIT Looks like 3800 x 2850, could be worth sharing what your TR settings are under the Corona render settings. If they are default, that might be the cause (what can happen, I believe, is too much data is sent too frequently, which leads to network congestion and lost data, which slows things down)

Hi Tom,

I try the same scene with the same settings on Ranch render farm! Guess what 2.2€ and 2min 18sec of render time on low priority!!! Wellcome Ranch!! :)
As said and meant ... crazy ripoff with sick/senseless excuses full of bull s... (rendering on 25 machines, render time 68min for 25€ per frame) by Rabus!

Sounds like questions for Rebus farm, have you contacted them?

Hi Tom,

full of nonsense and logic for me...this is total rip off ... nothing else I can say, sorry :(
On one of our office single computer 2x Xeon with render time 135min for this scene and on Rebuse render farm this basic interior (200mb file size) render time was 68min + distributed on 25 cores and for comparison and they say everything is normal "The costs got that high because you distributed the rendering to 25 machines."...total nonsense! Cost calculator on rebuse site shows me 5€ and 5 min render time for that project "in my dreams i guess". I don't know if those "25 machines" are laptops from year 1990 or what?!
Then some basic 1min animation with that or similar scene comes around 45.000€ with those numbers!?!?!!
I hope that the other render farms you advertises on corona web site are not like Rebuse.

and the answer form rebuse:

"Hello Blaž,

we have checked it and found no errors. the price corresponds to the render time.
unlike local, this image was rendered distributed. 25 rendernodes were active each of them has to load the scene and assets.

Best regards / Beste grüsse,
Ilya

sorry because i'm a "little angry" pissed off but it's not clear to me where's the problem or is it in corona or with them and with the "ripoff party"!

Hi all,

Is there something wrong with the Rebuse render farm or with Corona?
Is this normal for test render of basic interior scene without displ, dof, etc...just a basic 200mb scen file and 3800pix render size (basically the same project scene with the same settings)???
To me these render times are extremely abnormal not to mention the price!

Sky/HDRI in multipass not working... anyone tried...?

Thanks.
...

Confirm. I have the same problem for sky pass, only black image.

same here! i confirm this bug.

same here also and denoising has no effect on lightmix pass ...denoising only cleans the beauty pass

So what does happen when you click and hold on that button? Nothing shows up or changes? Or something else?

Nothing shows up on the tabs that have always opened till now :)

Hello,

In last daily build (Version: 5.0 daily Aug 30 2019 (core 5 (DailyBuild Aug 30 2019)) I can't save .CXR file form VFB, there is also no option save as, render interactive rendering...the tabs doesn't open in anyway.

We are on WIN7, C4D R16

Not sure what you mean - click and hold on Save in the VFB opens the drop down for me, with the Save All and Save CXR options there (which is where they always were). Is that not happening for you?

this has worked to this day ... unfortunately it doesn't work in latest version
p.s. I'm attaching the c4d file if anything helps

Hi, seems to be working for me with the latest V5 dailybuild. Even with your scene file.

It also work for me till now :)
