[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: Chaos Licensing Feedback/Help

« on: 2022-03-09, 00:46:55 »

Does anyone know how I can get my Team Render Clients running (WIN 10 PC with C4D R25 Team Render Clients)?

The full version on my MacBook was easy to handle, I could choose the server and it worked. I installed the Client Server (V 5.5.5) on each of the TR machines, which seems to run well. And Corona is loaded when I start the clients. But no license is found, although I checked for the XML file. Unfortunately, there is no button to specify the server ...

I must admit that the ease of use together with the fine render results were the reasons to prefer Corona Renderer over V-Ray. And as far as I can say with the first trials, it will be even better with the next release. But the license stuff is really annoying.

Hi everyone,
if you're looking for IES files, try this website. https://ieslibrary.com/en/home. I used some ERCO IES lately, they work perfectly.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Daily build Corona 7 RC 5 crashes V-Ray 5 VFB

« on: 2021-08-03, 13:45:11 »

Hello,

just one problem I encountered a few days ago: I'm using both, Corona Renderer and V-Ray 5 with Cinema 4D R23 on macOs 10.15.7 on a MacBook Pro. Until installing the RC 5, everything worked fine. After installing, the Corona 7 RC 5 worked fine for me but the VFB from V-Ray 5 crashed every time I tried to open it with the error "The plugin libQt6CoreLegion.6.0.0.dylib has crashed". I don't know how many people use both renderers, but it would be nice if it would work in the final version. Thank you!

Best
Volker

Thank you for sharing your project, very nice lighting, and great house design. I like the mood very much.

If I might suggest something, I think that in the blue hour scene either the surrounding light has to be a little darker or the indoor lights less "fiery", than it would be absolutely perfect.

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Corona & Team render

« on: 2019-03-28, 12:49:38 »

Hi guys,
since switching from beta to Version 3 (HF1), I have some strange errors with team render. I rendered some animations some month ago with c4d files converted from Vray and it worked fine and beautiful. Now with version 3 and the new Vray 3.7 (one mac workstation and 4 Win7 clients), these C4D Corona files won't render in TR because of missing VrayBridge (?) plugin. This Vray plugin folder exists on my workstation but not on the clients because here we use Vray in "standalone" mode.
Has someone an idea how to solve this?

every installed plugin counts for any scene you wanna netrender, tags used or not.. i suggest you copy your vraybridge pluginfolder from your workstation to the correct teamrenderplugin folder on each renderslave - this should get rid of your problem.

Hi hog0,
I got this problem, too, exactly the same error message. I checked for the "VrayBridge" plugins on our C4D TeamRender clients but there are none. Could that be because we are using Vray on our clients as "standalone" and not "workstation-mode" due to the Vray License in 3.7? Has someone an idea how to solve this?

create a txt file called "CoronaActivation.txt"
In this file put the details of your customer zone email and password. The format will look like this: johndoe@gmail.com:testpassword
copy it to
C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\AppData\Local\CoronaRenderer
on every node.
I think the nodes need internet connection.
Worked for me.

Thanks for that, it works wonderful for me (1 x Mac OsX Workstation, 4 x Win TeamRender Clients)!

That's very beautiful and full of details. One can almost smell the fresh autumnly winds. I especially like the wooden panelwork of the façade. Great Job!

Hi HFPatzi hi beanzvision,

thank you for your help, that solved the issue perfectly (sigh of relief ...) ;-)
I recently worked a lot with Vray4C4D - there it is essential to use the Vray bitmap ...

Thank you very much!

Hi beanzvision,

thank you very much for your quick reply, I just uploaded the scene together with two example renderings and the Corona version information: 1548158826_Scene-for-comparison-v00.zip
I hope this helps.

« on: 2019-01-22, 10:56:45 »

Hello,

I have an issue with the lighting - in my case with just one HDRi in the scene - too. Same file, same materials, same lighting from the beta 2 and the resulting renderings with the commercial V3 are very dark and dull. I posted it here: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=23298.0

[C4D] General Discussion / Dramatic change in lighting between Version 3 and Beta 2?

« on: 2019-01-22, 10:11:37 »

Hello guys,

I recently made an animation for a customer and rendered it for test with beta 2 (C4D R19). Now we installed the Version 3 and the renderings from the same file look very different: very dark and the materials look dull. I used Corona materials only. To keep it simple I used only one HDRi light, made with a C4D sky element and the Corona light material.

Did I miss something which changed between the versions? I didn't change a thing with the settings or configuration, the HDRi is in the tex folder ... I added two renderings for comparison.

Does someone have an idea? Thank you very much in advance!

Regards, Volker

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: SOLVED ---- TeamRender error "Aborting synchronization: dumpExr failed"

« on: 2019-01-14, 13:11:24 »

Hi everyone,

I got the same error with Corona 3 and TR on our 4 xeon render servers. Team Rendering started nicely, the C4D picture viewer showed the message, that all 5 nodes were working. After cancelling the rendering and starting a new one, only one node showed up (my workstation). The 4 clients are still running that "[Corona4D]

Aborting synchronization: dumpExr failed" error. The clients have access to the internet and due to an error with the licensing we switched to demo mode. Can someone help? Thank you! Volker BTW: All materials are Corona materials incl. 1 light material HDRi (Cinema 4D R19.068, Workstation Mac OS X 10.13.6, Clients Win 7 Pro SP 1)
