Another question. When using a reflection map, should it go in the Color Channel or the Fresnel IOR channel?

What's that "Donation" button at the top there?

I would say since Corona for C4D hasn't shipped yet, there won't be many people selling scenes using Beta software. I'm sure when it's released, we will see some C4D+Corona offerings. I'm hoping that the materials I've been making with the Beta versions will be able to be converted to the Nodal system when it finally ships.

Yeah, before Corona I got Cycles4D. Their node system is amazing, but for me, very slow compared to Corona. Anyway it was easy to set up, but then again, it is a finished shipping product.

One more question, I did notice that I had to invert certain maps. Is this true for all non-color maps in a Corona material?

I've got most of this down, but there are certain channels that seem better suited for a nodal material system. Since there is still time for Corona to have nodes, what is the best channels to use all of the images that come with PBR sets? Below is an example of a set I downloaded. Thanks.

Tiles 3_Alb.jpg  —  Diffuse?
Tiles 3_AO.jpg  —  Not Sure
Tiles 3_Dif.jpg  —  Diffuse?
Tiles 3_Dis.jpg  — Displacement Channel
Tiles 3_Nor.jpg — Bump channel with Corona Normal
Tiles 3_Ref.jpg  —  Reflection channel
Tiles 3_Rou.jpg  —  Reflection channel?

OK it's uploaded minus an HDRI called "cloud_layers_16k.hdr". It was free from HDRIhaven.com

Aha so the render instance setting strikes again. I had trouble getting my trees to properly appear on the surface of the land to the left and its clones. Render Instances was the cause.

Now the last thing that isn't working for me is the road and the shoulder don't seem to be responding to Object Motion Blur. Those objects are in the same group as the barrier and street lamps. Curious.

I made a quick video of stills showing my problem. When motion blur is enabled, it will randomly grab objects and place them floating above everything else. This video is me just clicking render to picture viewer several times. Nothing changed between renders, just the results. The Cloners I'm using are set to animate, so in other words, this project is an endless road. There is a group with one section of road, two street lights, a shoulder and the row of barriers. The car itself is only animated with a subtle vibrate tag and there is a camera move.

Notice that the barrier is never blurred, but when one is placed randomly, it is indeed blurred. Not sure if the road surface is being blurred properly. Hard to tell with that material.

If I turn off the motion blur options (I'm using Camera and Object), it will render perfect, minus not having any blur effect.

I have a scene that I need motion blur. This scene also used Cloners. Is there a known issue with motion blur and cloners? Before I post details, I want to make sure it's pointing out bugs in the daily build, or something bigger.

Also, is the stable B2 still available so I can compare the two?

Forget r20, let's get v1.0 of Corona THEN we can talk.

The amazing thing is, Corona takes about the same time to render the clay version. To me that is good, since that means Corona renders the more complex scene fast too.

Is there a fast preview render mode for Corona like the Software without textures (clay) option I can do in Standard C4D?

Yeah, I'm using an unclipped HDRI from that site. I was just trying to understand if I needed the sun at all. Thanks.

To add to that site, Greyscale Gorilla is release a set of 85 HDRIs with up to 30 stops of range. Decent price too.
