[C4D] I need help! / Re: Bump texture rendering too smooth

« on: 2022-07-08, 17:46:01 »

this is my result so far...
i'm sure the leather material could be better. but i'm quite happy with the result.
in addition i put some imperfections like dust and fingerprints on it.

i knew there was something wrong. thank you @TomG!
> i once switched the projection to zylindrical mapping and it looked horrible. but it seems i forgot to rotate the texture to 90°. now it looks fine. :o)

@Mac3DX me, too.

i'm working on a grip with leather material > see attached images.
can't set up the material properly with bump/displacement, reflection etc. it looks like plastic :o(
> projection is boxmapping. and triplanar is doing a strange job here, too!? also tried to unwrap the mesh, bring it in photoshop etc. but it was a mess.

maybe someone can help me creating a realisitic leather material, which is circulating the grip naturally/seamlessly (like the example shows)
thanks in advance!

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Re: yellow shading error

« on: 2022-07-07, 17:02:47 »

We have this one (or a related one) on the internal bug tracker - from what I've seen so far, it looks like if Noise maps are used in more than one channel / material, then changing anything about the Noise makes the material render yellow until IR is restarted. Changing the Noise did used to cause a crash, but doesn't seem to any more (for me, in the Beta 2 RC1, the crash seems to have stopped). I've added a link to this thread to the internal bug report, so that the info here can be taken into consideration (and hopefully we can reply here when we have a fix for it :) )

it still happens in c4d r23 and corona 8, hotfix 1.

there is another point i wanna bring in...
at the moment i'm struggeling with bump and displacement in case of "uvw mapping" and "box mapping". when using uvw, the bump or displacement seems to be fine. changing the same material to "box mapping" seems to make the bump or displacement softer or even inexistent.
> please see the 2 pictures attached
> i'm using corona 8 hotfix 1, c4d r23.110

are you aware of this? is it a bug or just a user related problem?
thanks for all your inputs.

great work, komarov! especially the snow is amazing.
how did you accomplish this? displacement, mesh, material?

could get it to work. my firewall sort of denied access to the cosmos browser.
sorry for confusing. corona renderer 8 and its new features is excellent.

Is the Chaos License Server running?
I mean, when you visit the following address: http://127.0.0.1:30304/
What do you see?

I'm logged in at chaos license server...see printscreens
am i missing something?

i have a problem loading cosmos browser. it shows blank (white) in c4d > see attachement
it also happens in c4d r25. corona 8, newest daily build (rc3), is installed.
no error messages while installation, nor in c4d.

does anybody have the same issue? maybe i am missing something...!?
ps: license is activated and loaded

...any idea?

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Corona for Apple Silicon M1?

« on: 2022-04-01, 13:17:05 »

here's what my machine rendered...see attachment (mac pro 5.1 2010, 2 x 6-core 3.46ghz, 128ram, c4d r25)

impressive render time from philw's threadripper...amazing! but i must say, piredude's mac studio ultra is fast, too. could be a venerable successor for my 12-year-old "cheese grater".

@Philw ah okay. didn't know that. this brings me to additional question.
so...one day if corona renderer is native m1, will the renderer benefit more from the processor and be faster than now?

hi corona-users

i think y'all should use the corona benchmark for comparison. there's only one result yet:
https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark/results/cpu/ultra

would be nice to see more users testing their mac studio like this.

for comparison:
my mac pro (5.1, 2010) 2x6 core, 3.46 ghz, 128gb ram needs approx. 2 minutes for the benchmark scene.
> i seems the new mac studio 20-core is "only" almost twice as fast...1m15s

what do y'all say about that?
