Chaos Corona for Blender / Re: Blender To Corona bugs

« on: 2017-04-28, 16:03:10 »

Please, for every problem you stumble upon, describe steps to reproduce, your OS, HW and SW specs. Also Images & scene files are most welcome.

ie.
Blender 2.78c, CoronaSA 1.6 (jan2017), corona exporter v. 5.3.0
w7 x64 pro,

- IBL/HDR lighting works here
- multiple Arrays work
- render border works as you described: result gets offset on the import*

*/// temporal solutions:

• save from Corona's VFB
• find the result in your Export Path location
• render again without border/region: previous result (from Export Path) will get temporarily imported, save before closing Corona's VFB

Chaos Corona for Blender / Re: *Experimental* support for exporting only modified objects

« on: 2017-04-21, 20:03:23 »

Hi!

Wuhu & Thank you. :D

Been using "Only Modifiers" for the last couple of hours and it's working quite nice.
Will do more testing over the weekend.

Chaos Corona for Blender / Re: Will the new standalone give some life to the Blender integration?

« on: 2017-04-20, 19:44:40 »

We?
We have nothing but great gifts, so show some appreciation and understanding.

You? Aren't you happy? Are you missing anything? Then please, help testing, work with it, donate, spread the word...
Or even better, in return create & show something magnificent - artwork, tutorials, intros, film... show your imagination!
...  just, don't whine.

We all evolve & grow slow, so just be grateful that you're able to be here complaining.   
Even Blender is miniscule compared to other tools in the Capital Industry, luckily it's source is open & free.

Some of us don't strive on the material wealth, it's just another tool, as you may one day become ;)

PS
Am not indulging in further debate.
Off.

BTW
For product to be commercially viable (professional production ready) first must be practically proven in production... or risk to parish sooner than you can think of another paradox.

Chaos Corona for Blender / Re: Blender Volumetric Absorption/Scattering

« on: 2017-04-19, 23:47:28 »

Confirming.
That is, if Material Editor is used - You need to enable Refraction (must not be 0,00).
Or as soon as you add/enable Material Node Tree, it renders without an error.

PS
Using Material Editor it is necessary to check & set the preferred Material under Corona Surface Shading > Corona Material:
- CoronaPortalMtl (Ligh Portal)
- CoronaVolumeMtl (Volumetric Material)
- CoronaLightMtl (Emissive / Light Material)
- CoronaMtl (Corona Standard Material)

eg.

Chaos Corona for Blender / Re: problem activate blender corona exporter

« on: 2017-04-18, 15:00:30 »

yes, two script locations are perfectly normal for Blender (root & roaming)
if two (same) addons are recognized as activated, you'll get a warning in console and on addon list

eg.
in Console


in Addons

Until further notice, read the title:  [DISCONTINUED] Cinema 4D Corona Scene Converter

and the original (first) post:

Due to the updated road map, this project will not be continued.

:)
« Last Edit: 2017-01-27, 20:43:28 by mp5gosu »

and few posts above:

By the way, I'm currently investigating. ;)
Edit: There's actually a corona scene converter on the devs roadmap. So probably no need to update this one. :(

tho, i agree, with 3rd party exporter some work would be taken off the dev. team & users/testers could do more helping, advising, sharing experience

Bypass, fix by applying EdgeSplit modifier.

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Corona Wire Shader

« on: 2017-04-12, 20:37:02 »

:)

also would be nice if this thread is combined with the other, almost identical Transparent Wireframe Render

has anyone found the solution to mix/layer/combine both: Xray + wire? Tried with Layered but render is different than the preview - Is there a bug?

PS.
post with shader attached

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Transparent Wireframe Render

« on: 2017-04-12, 17:16:12 »

can get the similar effect
looks OK in preview, but doesn't render properly - maybe a bug in Corona's Layered Material?

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Corona Wire Shader

If this is what you're after?
Diffuse is used to color the wires (even textures, procedurals, ramps... can be used).
Opacity channel with Corona Wire shader is then used to only show wires/edges on a material (you can also set to vertices only.

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: C4D beta still on target?

Yep, confirming, with license removed/deleted it asks for activation or a demo (needs beta license).
