Corona for Cinema 4D Beta 1 daily build

[mp5gosu]

hdr sky also ?  old or new scene crash immediately for me if a use a hdr sky, a empty scene whith a cube and a hdr sky it's ok, but a more complex scene, impossible rendering.

Same here but crahes even on newly created scenes, with just a cube in it.

Latest daily build crashes on every render, old scene and new scenes. Most unstable version for a while. I also getting virtually no crashes on previous builds.

Well, it feels better here.

Some bugs:
- IBL on the Sky Object crashes (use Sphere instead) 
- Environment Fog still disappears after first frame, also Exposure still resets
- Compositing Tag Properties (Visibility) seem to work

My personal advice from practice to those experiencing instant crashes:
Clean your installation (registries, directories, render-, camera-, sun&sky- & other settings, preferences...) before upgrading - using new build.
Since plugin is still in heavy development, code can change in a way that may cause scenes which work on previous builds to produce errors ending with a crash! Is not a must but is sure one of possibilities.

enjoy

Hi all,

I am sorry for the latest daily build. There is a quick fix for the Projection shader (in texture projection code) which unfortunately causes the crash when HDRI map is used for the Sky object. We haven't tested it much, but texture projection code really needs a lot of improvements so I am preparing the testing scene for all cases which we should handle in the code and we will fix it, and we will also use this scene for the testing before each next build to be sure that everything works. Please use previous daily build (2017-12-01) for now.

Thank you
Nikola

No worries! Overall Corona is working really well for me although I have not been using HDRI's in my current project. Keep up the great work!

Lately I worked with animated material parameters and layered materials and found lot's of anomalys in the matrix. Do you have a bug report system, or should we just post every bug in this thread? I'm just asking beforehand.

Yep, either that, or you can use the "Bug Reports" section here on the forums. Posting bugs in this thread can be a mess...

Kind Regards

Version 2017-12-01 crashes also for me.
With version 2017-11-27 I have problem with IR. It stacks in a loop when "Parsing scene" and "Preparing geometry"... Like the gif image below:

I think it has already been reported that texture projection will not work on the latest release (01.12.). Here are the examples:

look good about texture projection

Can we please get the ability to turn off Shadow Terminator? As discussed in this forum post: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=18509.0

I have desperately been trying to use Corona on a few projects that involve CAD geometry and by turning OFF the Shadow Terminator setting in 3DS Max seems to solve the issues I've been having in Cinema.

Is this something that can be implemented into the C4D plugin?

Thank you, guys!!!
