[C4D] I need help! / Re: Please help getting Corona Pattern to work.

Oh wow! Makes so much sense that it's render-time only. And that I need to set tiling. Thank you.

Hi, I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I am not able to get Corona Pattern to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please see the attached test scene. Thank you.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Corona Volume Grid Problem

I thought this may be an issue with the camera being inside of the vdb, but that's not the case. I'm consistently not able to get the volume to render in Picture Viewer, no matter where the camera is. Yet it works great in the Interactive Render window.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Corona Volume Grid Problem

« on: 2022-11-19, 04:49:00 »

These two images are the same frame. The one with the volume working is through Interactive Preview. The other is through Picture Viewer.

I don't understand why the volume is not working with the Picture Viewer. Corona is set to the render engine under Render Settings.

I'm having this exact same problem. The volume is showing great in interactive render, but not when rendering to picture viewer. I'm not using any material, just the settings in the Corona Volume Grid.

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Corona Material randomly losing Substance asset information

« on: 2021-04-12, 18:29:01 »

Thank you. I was wondering if the reason this was happening was because I was importing a Substance and then using the Corona convert materials command. Should I just be using nodes?

[C4D] General Discussion / Corona Material randomly losing Substance asset information

« on: 2021-04-10, 06:09:02 »

My Corona materials converted from Substance Source, randomly lose asset information. I don't understand why this happens. It doesn't do it to all the Substance in my scene, and sometimes it's only certain channels within a material that lose the asset information. Here's a screenshot of what happens. Most often it happens when closing and re-opening a file. But just recently, it happened when I just switched cameras. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hardware / Re: Threadripper & Ryzen only builds (3rd Gen starts on page 50)

So After few weeks of faultless work yesterday my system literally died. When I hit power button on my case it started to boot and after about 3 seconds just turned off completely. No power led's on motherboard, no smoke or smell of melted plastic, no signs of life whatsoever.  Tried few different outlets - same thing. Checked just PSU (seasonic prime gold 1300) and it seems ok (vent is working). Need to plug another PSU to confirm if it's MB...... damn, that's exactly what I needed right now.

That sucks. That sounds like exactly what happened to my 1st gen system. It was the motherboard. It died on boot as well.

I ve a 3990X on MSI TRX40 with 128 Go Ram
Work like a charm, more stable than my another station with Core i9 Extreme. I think i will update it to threadripper too 3970X or 3990X
I don't have any regrets with my migration to AMD

Very nice. Which cooler are you using?

I run C4D and I'm building a 3990x system with 256GB of RAM. I should have all the parts here by the end of week.

Any particular reason for Corsair's system?

I am a custom loop noob and I'm a little nervous about putting water in my PC. I was watching this video and the rep was saying that you have the backing of a large company like Corsair in case a component fails and causes damage.

I didn't know their Threadripper blocks weren't good.

Most likely, I'll use the IceGiant and see how it goes. Everything should be here for the build this week.

Is anyone in here running a custom loop? I've been eyeing up Corsair's Hydro X system.

Thanks Juraj. I appreciate all the help you've provided on this thread.

I like the spacing of the PCie slots on the Asus TRX40 Creator for putting in 4 dual slot GPUs, but I am using an IceGiant and I just realized that if I stuff in 4 GPUs that it will interfere with the airflow to the IceGiant's fans. Looks like I would have to go with with a custom watercooling loop if I want to make this rig GPU-render capable as well.

Here's the current list:
3990X
ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha TRX40
IceGiant ProSiphon Elite (they're sending me a test unit)
4 - EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrids from my current system (would like to get these all in if possible, but not a priority)
EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2, 80+ TITANIUM 1600W

My main question now is RAM. I have 64GB of G.SKILL TridentZ Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) in my old workstation.

I am looking to get at least 128GB and would rather wait for the G.SKILL TridentZ Neo 32GB DIMMS. I see their 256GB 3600 package is coming out in Q2.

Will my old RAM be ok until the Neo 32GB DIMMS come out?

I'm also open to building a custom loop instead of the IceGiant, but a little intimidated doing so with expensive hardware in case a leak happens.

EDIT: The 256GB 3600 package is available on Newegg! Just ordered it. https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-256gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820374001?Item=N82E16820374001

Hi guys, I'm building a 3990x system. Looking through this thread, I see that the ASUS ROG ZENITH II EXTREME ALPHA is the best. What makes it better than other motherboards like the MSI Creator TRX40?
