Thanks Tom - that seems to work.

Hi Maru - I have an unrelated issue, which is causing serious issues when trying to investigate this current topic.  I tried installing v12 on my Cinema4D 2024 install, and in the installer I choose to only install for 2024.  During the install process, I see a message that the previous version of Corona needs to be un-installed.  When I now open Cinema4D 2025, my Corona v13 has been removed (assumedly during the v12 install for 2024).  The reverse happens when I then again try to install v13 for 2025 - the message that previous version needs to be un-installed - and now I no longer have v12 installed for 2024!  Is it no longer possible to have 2 different versions of corona installed on 2 different version of C4D?

ok, thanks Maru.  I think I had created this material using a cosmos material as a starting point, and modified some shaders.  I probably don't need the triplanar in this case, but a lot of the cosmos materials are using it, so I can see this being an issue in many cases - or are you saying it's only when combined with the mapping randomizer?  Or was it just a bug in the v12 that was never identified?

-Hi Tom - we are still having the problem.  We even tried uninstalling 13 and reinstalling 12, but that didn't change anything.  Here's a screenshot of partial render done in v12 (intended tiling) and also in v13 (smaller scale tiling).  i have included screenshots of the material setup from v13 as well, but I don't have access to the original v12 install.  I will ask my colleagues if they have a v12 install so we can create a simplified file - this one is too large and highly confidential

Hi Tom...  I don't have v12 installed anymore, so I don't know how to verify this issue.  I will try to install v12 on another machine and test it out.  thanks

I have updated to Corona 13, and now working in some files that were created in v12, and I'm having some problems with tri-planar mapping scale being different (much smalle tiling of textures)...  is this documented somewhere, or is it a bug? Is there a scale setting that I can change to get the expected scale from my old files?

Thanks Maru - I will investigate the suggestions by Juraj.  Unfortunately I'm stuck with this machine for this deadline, and perhaps longer term as well ;)

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: AI image enhancer

« on: 2025-06-20, 22:36:15 »

I don't quite understand the workflow to use the AI enhance.  What is the required file format?  I have the AIenhance pass activated in multipass, and I tried EXR and CXR but I don't see the AI enhance icon activated in VFB2 in either case. I am rendering a 1920x1080 image for 10 passes.  If I open the VFB2 from Picture viewer, but it makes no difference.

edit: ...nevermind - I hadn't added the actual AI enhance pass...  my mistake!

[C4D] I need help! / non-interaction on threadripper 2990WX

« on: 2025-06-20, 22:03:46 »

I have a problem with being able to do anything else in the viewport, when using the VFB (edit: VFB2).  I have a threadripper 32-core 2990WX on a windows 11 PC with 64GB RAM and a RTX 3080ti, running C4D 2025.2.1 and Corona 13.  I have tried changing the # of threads override to -16, -32, -64 and I see a reduction in CPU utilization accordingly, but really no change in viewport responsiveness.  I can not even navigate the view of a simple scene with only a single object.  Trying to stop the VFB is also very slow.  Basically any kind of interaction is impossible.  I don't understand why this is, and I'm wondering if there are any other factors involved, and what can I do about it?  Perhaps it's something specific to the 2990WX?...  I do not have the same problem on my other PC, an intel cpu with much fewer cores.  open to suggestions, as this is very frustrating for me, having just switched over to this machine.

« on: 2025-06-17, 23:25:19 »

Thanks Tom!  I actually was unaware that I could render the panoramas in Corona...  so that's what I'm doing now.  First time for everything, LOL.  Chaos Cloud Virtual Tour works perfectly...  Am I understanding correctly that I only need to purchase credits if I want to render on the Cloud, and that the Collaboration part (including the Virtual Tour) is free?

What's the latest on Chaos Cloud?  I don't remember hearing much about that, but only just came across it because I'm researching ways to host 360 pano tour.  ( I aslo made a separate post in this regards).

[C4D] General Discussion / Can I generate 360 panos from Vantage with Corona C4D file, and share on Cloud?

« on: 2025-06-17, 03:23:07 »

As I tried to describe in the subject, I wish to use Vantage link from within Corona for C4D to generate 360 panoramas for use in a virtual tour, to share with client. 
I'm having a hard time dissecting the information on the internet if this is possible, so would appreciate feedback from developers, or users in this regard. 
I also need to share the panoramas (preferably in a packaged interface), and hope that Chaos Cloud can offer this functionality, but again, am struggling to find specific info in this regard, as Cloud seems mainly focused on Cloud rendering service.  Am I misunderstanding the capabilities?

Thanks in advance!

this sounds amazing Stefan!. 

In other news, I see that the new Chaos Vantage 2, update 8 now supports Parallax shaders.... To CoronaC4D team: will this also work in C4D?
