Hi,

I got an educational license for Cinema 4D S22 and somehow the Corona Plugin does not show in the Cinema Interface. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Best regards

Well, I will not do suuuper ultra large scenes, but big ones and I want to avoid having troubles with my Laptop, so I bought an Apex 15 and hopefully it will do its work for the next few years.

Isn't this one pretty much the same as my XMG Apex 15?

In the end I bought a XMG Apex 15 Ryzen9 3900, Geforce 2070, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD. I am very excited to use it soon =)
Thanks for your help!

Thanks cecofuli! I tried different configurations, I am not sure what graphics card or processor is suited for my case. It would be helpful, if you would explain your recommendation, since I am quite lost in that topic.

Hi,
I would like to buy a new laptop, since my old one is crashing a lot. I want to run Vectorworks, Corona/Cinema4D and PS on it. I am building complex models, thats where my old laptop is struggling the most. Do you have any recommandations which specs are suited in my case?

[C4D] General Discussion / Material ID

« on: 2020-05-23, 18:35:20 »

Hello,

I was trying to get a multi pass Material ID to export for photoshop. I need it to select all Objects with the same material at once. I used multi-pass->mask->ID-> Materials. I used 2 different materials for my objects and pressed render, but somehow the multi pass Material ID didn't work, as all objects had the same color, even tho they had different materials.

Anybody knows what I did wrong?

Best regards.

The outlines are both, for overlyaing for artistic purposes and to select objects for post production. But I'd prefer having the multi pass coloured picture for selecting objects...I tried multi pass mask for Corona already, but somehow it didn't work...2 objects with the same material had different colours when i tried it. Also I had way too many colours, thats why I couldn't really use the mask thing. For my post production I need only a few colours, so I can select all wooden objects fast for example.
I will try the cel rendering! Thanks for advice.

Something like this.
I found out how to use Object ID Multi Pass for Corona, but Material ID does not work. I want to be able to activate all concrete parts in Photoshop at once via color range selection. Problem with Objekt ID is that often different objects have similar object ID color. So if I want to select the concrete floor there are also chairs, ect. selected.
The linedrawing is mostly to overlay after post production.

Hello,

I would like to render 2 different pictures.
1. A white textured rendering with shadows.
2. Only the outlines of my objects.
I want to put them together in Photoshop and work on the lines rendering with textures. The shadow rendering is to multiply.
Is there a way to render only lines in Corona?
I tried it in Cinema with Sketch and Toon, but it didn't work in Corona and the Cinema 4D lines rendering was useless, since only a couple of lines were shown.
