[C4D] General Discussion / Image on top of foil... How do I do it?!

« on: 2017-11-16, 15:02:27 »

Hi Forum Gang!

I am currently working on some cigarette packaging and need to achieve the look of the box graphics being printed ontop of matt foil. Basically the artwork will look metallic. I have used the Layer shader with a matt gold base and can achieve to mask out areas where there is no image and gold shows through but I can't seem to get them to mix. Any help will be much appreciated :-) John

Hi Forum,

As far as using Corona for any URGENT projects or PRODUCTION... Just don't go there! Give the guys a break. We are in BETA and doing a FANTASTIC job :-) X. A full production version is way off yet. We are all keen to have the full version but come on guys

THANK YOU GUYS! I will turn the white light down (makes sense with light clashing) and making a duplicate is genius. Never thought of this approach! I will post a result as soon as i can. :-)

Hi Rojharris,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it won't be as fast as a GPU renderer but it works :-) John

[C4D] General Discussion / Creating edge lit/lightbox coloured light...

« on: 2017-07-22, 02:46:25 »

Hi Corona Forum,

I am working on a wall unit with a multi coloured edge light. What is the best way to get the coloured light to really beam out far on a white wall? At the moment I am using a corona light material with a coloured gradient. If i increase the intensity too far the colours wash out. It does not reach out far enough on the wall and the Bloom does not seem to work. I have tried to play with the directionality which helps a bit but if you push it too far the glow on the wall looks better but the actual light edge starts to look dull. Any help much appreciated :-) Johnny S

Hi All Corona Users,

I just purchased GSG HDRI Link so I can use their HDRI Rig. Has anyone used it yet and do anyone have a custom layout with a "interactive" render window? Many thanks! Johnny S

[C4D] General Discussion / Texture size using PSDs...

« on: 2017-07-10, 23:53:55 »

Hi All!

I have a question regarding textures. I use a lot of PSD textures because of client amends moving text, logos etc. on artwork that is mapped onto panels, bottles and so on. In native C4D it seems to work flawless if you use PSD files with layers were you can shift bits around (20-100mb). With Corona, I have noticed a slow down. Am I better off using PNG, JPG, instead? Many thanks! John

Hi All,

I re-installed corona-renderer, did not work first time, said invalid licence then did it again and seems to work ok now. Strange? Thank you for your help :-) John

Hi TomG!

Thank you for such a swift reply :-) I am using the May version (see attached). I have never had this problem before. Strange? C4D crashes now everytime I quit C4D.

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Licence is not valid any more

« on: 2017-06-06, 20:05:10 »

Hi All Corona Forum Users,

I am not 100% sure if this is a bug or not. Today I opened C4D and it has told me I do not have a valid licence. This happened on both my iMac & MacBook Pro. On my iMac I managed to copy and past the activation code then go to the Corona site to get it activated. However, on my MacBook Pro It only lets me select "buy licence". When I click an error comes up and every time I quit C4D it crashes with a Corona problem. I have included screen grabs. Any Idea? Many thanks! John

Hi Corona Team,

I am working on a outdoor bar scene and rendering out 1080x1920pix renders at 80 passes. I have set up 4 TAKES and set them to render but it crashes. They are rendering OK if I send them separately. I am using a MacBook Pro 17". Screen grabs and bug report included for you :-) John

[C4D] General Discussion / Copying and pasting objects

« on: 2017-05-22, 10:02:20 »

Hi Corona Forum,

I have a question. I have been working on a large wall bay with whiskey bottles on which I have applied layered materials to (glass then a label on). When I copy this group of bottles into another scene (which is saved in the same folder) I loose my layered materials and have to re-link them. Is there a special way to do this or will this be fixed in the future? Fantastic renderer by the way! Good work :-) Do you have any idea when you will be releasing the commercial version? Many thanks! John
