General CG Discussion / Re: The Betrayal : the new Chaos price list.

« on: 2024-02-19, 13:45:30 »

Chaos is the worst thing that happened to Corona, they already made the Corona unusable for hobby / occasional users, when they rised the price ridiculously some time ago now they doing it again. This is horrible, I have a full Adobe software line for what Corona cost monthly.

So sad to see that nothing is still solved, seems like Corona does not care about Mac users at all. I really do not want to migrate to PC after 12 years... can anyone let us know, there is something being done about this issue? M chips are super fast for anything from 2d graphics to video editing,  seems bit weird they would be THAT bad for rendering. Worse than 4+ years old Intels...

Hi, how long it usually takes to get a reply from support?

I can not activate the trial and I can not buy either "continue" in cart leads to same issue as "activate trial" link, I tried my phone, my girlfriends phone, chaos link not work, on any device at home, wifi / mobile data, this must be on your end, so I am surprised it is not solved for like 3 days.

We are having a problem here. Trying to get the trial version to work but - "Activate Trial" links to a webpage that "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue" (or its variation in other browsers. Chrome, Mozilla, Safari - it just does not work. Any solution to this?

thank you

Crazy!  I lost my hope in future with Mac as well because of this.

BTW - what does "corona bitmap" means here? That you put textures under Corona Bitmap tags? Not directly into diffusion / Texture ?

OK, I was thinking about getting new Mac, but this thread, oh my. This does not look good.

The original scene from the first post was rendered in 7:40 on my iMac 2020 with i7 40GB RAM, Big Sur.

So, it seems like M chips are useless for rendering and Mac is officially a dead platform for 3D or?  I  see most M2 Ultra results are around 9-11 mins, even if it would be 6 minutes, it would still be bad.  :-/

[C4D] General Discussion / New pricing - "thank you" Chaos...

« on: 2022-10-17, 12:02:51 »

I jsut got an email, out of nowhere, 1 day before my billing date about the price of my subscription went from EUR 24 To EUR 59 - this is really crazy, I do not need premium I do not need extra licenses, I am occasional user who was already spending 24 EUR a month on something I am using just from time to time but more than doubling the price is really not cool, especially in current economy and situation. I knew that Corona being bought by Chaos is a bad thing, but I didn't await something so crazy. This will just make all the hobby / occasional users end their subscriptions.  What was the point really?

Since Apple introduced the new m1 chip and  ppl are reporting that the performance in many graphic / video apps is amazing, I am curious what about Corona, is there any benchmark yet?

[Max] I need help! / Help with two kinds of upholstery material - Boucle and Sheepskin

« on: 2020-07-22, 23:18:39 »

Hello guys, these two upholstery materials are a huge trend now, but I can not find any good materials or way how to simulate them - I am a noob haha. I guess displacement may work for the boucle?  Any help is welcome.  Thank you.

[Max] I need help! / Noob problem - dark lines around ceiling in interior rendering.

« on: 2020-06-06, 12:06:46 »

Hello guys,

I am an absolute noob so do not look at the modeling etc here (yep, the lamp is partially in the wall haha) It is just a quick visualization of a reconstruction of my apartment I made to see how it will look.  But then I started to play with it a little more, to finally learn some new skills about interior renders - but some things I am absolutely unable to find a solution for.  There are black lines around the whole ceilings - like if the ceiling does not connect to walls, but it dies. Also above windows, there a bit too dark areas - how to solve this?  Thank you for any help.
