[C4D] I need help! / Re: Light Include/Exclude question

I was asking if you could both include and exclude simultaneously with the same light source.

Is there a way to make a single light exclude somethings and include others at the same time?

Corona has never provided a "decent" library of materials but there are some. they cater to 3dsmax anyway so I suggest either moving to 3dsmax b4 you learn too much in c4d or accept that c4d gets the bare minimum attention from everything. models, materials, plugins, etc...

Change the scale of the map on the material editor in whichever value you are trying to increase

I mean, its pretty self explanatory but heres some screen shots. Im not sure how your suppose to indicate which object is getting the cloth cache tool when you cant add a tag to any objects. The tool has completely changed and the manual doesn't go over it well enough.

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Does Corona allow a "reflection coating layer" now in layered mtl?

"Oh, I almost forgot! What you can try is setting the diffuse to completely black and opacity to 100% on the "clearcoat material" and then mix that in the layered material. That should work too!"

"2. Layered Material
     -Create your base material as you wish
     -Create layered material and put your base material to the base material slot
     -Create the clearcoat as followed:
          -disable diffuse and enable reflectance
          -set the IOR to 999"

thx guys!

THIS HELP ME! Thank you!
 this somehow works as work around, for some materials at least i guess:)
hope the other thing similr to vray blend gets added in future

The Cloth Cache Tool has changed since I last used it and now I have no idea how to apply it to an object. It just brings up an interface but no where to tag an object to have it effected. Can someone help?

[C4D] I need help! / Corona Interior Lighting

« on: 2020-10-26, 20:50:00 »

I render interior product shots for a few companies and have always neared realism but I know my lighting set ups suuuck. No matter how hard I try I cannot get the sun/sky to completely fill a room. I use realistic sizes for windows, products, create good textures... but I am just never happy with my results.

 Can you guys share some lighting tips for interior realism? and criticize my images attached to this post. (the first shot is only sun and sky and my current room im working on)

You don't need to delete or re-add - both the old and new are options within the Sun and within the Sky. So you can just switch to whichever you prefer at any time.

EDIT - as a note, that's totally different from the portals issue, which is solved with the new Adaptive Environment Solver. Sun and Sky don't play a role in whether portals are needed or not. You can't swap back to using portals in Corona 6, they have been removed entirely.

Actually, the lights are even better in this, I set up lights how I previously had them and looks great now!

Dope, You've been a big help. Still trying to figure out how to realistically fill the room with light though. I've done it in 100s of other scenes but this ones unique for some reason.

Hint - Use Corona 6 and get rid of those portals :)

If I have a scene from v5 that has sun and sky, it should automatically use the newest version of the sun and sky right? or would it default to the v5 version unless I delete and add them again?
