[C4D] I need help! / still struggeling with tonemapping
« on: 2022-10-05, 15:15:51 »
Hi all!

I still have problems to find nice even eterior lighting.

With the new aces, I was hoping for better results. My pics are always to contrasty but decreasing contrast in tonemapping panel is not the solution. With the new clouds one has a pretty good reference for a realistic brightness of the sky. But then everything on the ground ist too dark.

Are we still talking about 70% for a clean white? Or has this guide changed?
Shouldn't standard settings in tonemapping panel result in a good picture?
Are all these nice pics on the internet done in post?

Thanks

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Scene looses sun
« on: 2022-10-05, 15:07:41 »
Hi all!

While playing with Corona 9 RC1 I mentioned, that the sun object sometimes get lost. While setting up nice lighting for an exterior scene (sun, sky, tonemapping) suddenly the sun is not rendered. No way to get it back. Had to replace the sun.

[C4D] General Discussion / Is IOR really working right?
« on: 2022-06-15, 16:06:37 »
Hi all!

Since I am in the new physical material, all of my (non-metallic) materials seem to be extremely shiny.

I decrease IOR to about 1.1 - 1.2 on materials which usually have an IOR of 1.4 - 1.5, like plastics, glass, and so on.

Is it possible, that the IOR is not working correctly?

Thanks steppes

[C4D] I need help! / Material ID and Corona Decals
« on: 2022-06-06, 13:07:00 »
Hi All!

I love the new Corona Decals, but unfortunately they are not shown in the ID Pass. It would be great, if the opacity of the decal would be shown in the ID Pass or another mask.

Thanks

[C4D] General Discussion / Chaos Cosmos
« on: 2022-06-06, 13:04:01 »
Hi All!

First Is want to say, that I love Corona 8 and that I am very thankful for the Chaos Cosmos. This is very generous to give these assets away for free!

BUT (Isn't there allways a "but"):

I think these assets should be perfect and follow all the rules, that you teached us! There are vegetation models using metallic materials, most plants do not use transparency in petalleaves or leaves, whites are almost far far to bright. And so on.

If you provide "ready to use models", which, as said, is very generous, these models should really be ready to use.

Thanx!

[C4D] Bug Reporting / v7 Light Select shows wrong elements
« on: 2021-06-29, 09:23:30 »
Hi all!

Testing v7, it seems the light select does not show the right elements. Objects with light material do not show up in they layers but in the "rest (unassigned)" layer.

Hi all,

using corona 6 with hotfix2 i ran into some trouble trying to layer several noises and tiles in the bump channel via the c4d layershader. Only the top one shader will be shown.

Can someone second that? I feel that the c4d layershader is the weakspot of corona since it doesnt convert materials with layershader properly.

thanks!

[C4D] General Discussion / Colours in ID Pass
« on: 2021-02-11, 19:14:23 »
Hi all!

Even though the ID Pass is very handy, I often struggle with its colours...

1. Why do most colours in the ID Pass have the same colourrange? F.E.: In a scene with only 12 Materials, I have one dark red, one pink, but 8 shades of greenish blues. Those are pretty difficult to pick afterwards in Photoshop. Why isn't  there a wide range of the most different colours?

2. When i copy material to make some adjustments (f.e. change a white plaster-Material to a grey one) there will be no other colour in ID Pass. Both have the same colour...

Can anyone help? Thanks!

[C4D] I need help! / rendering from VFB to C4D or PSD
« on: 2020-04-23, 10:29:55 »
Hi all!

I am a CG artist since more than 15 Years. Since more than 10 Years I am a V-Ray Guy but now we are living in "corona-times" (mention the equivovation!). I am trying to get into corona and it is pleasing me and a pretty nice Engine. But one thing makes me suffer: How can I get my Multi-Pass-Passes to a nice PSD-File for postprocesing?

1.
In the VFB there is this nice ">to C4D" Button that sends me the current state of my tweaked Image (Tonemapping, Lightmix, etc.) to the C4D Picture-Mangager. But I miss a ">to PSD"-Button that sands the Passes to one nice Photoshop-file! As a workaround I twaek my image an send several states of the image to the C4D Picture-viewer and save my PSD from there.

2.
Why is there no ">to C4D", a ">to PSD" or even the option to save PSDs in the Corona-Image-Editor? Yesterday I rendered a file and saved it as a .cxr in hope of having all the features of the VFB in the Corona-Image-Editor to tweak several versions of my image and then export them to PSDs. Today I could not find a way to do that. The only thing is to export all the layers as single images an merge them in Photoshop, but this is annoying and time consuming.

3.
Will there be a batch-render-feature for saving several .cxr-Files automatically (that requires the option to get nice PSDs after tweaking the cxr.)?

4.
Why are images in VFB looking different to the same image sent to c4d when using Curves in the Tonemapping-Section?

What I am dreaming of, is the option to batch-render several images (different takes or files) over night or weekend, saved as editable .cxrs. After tweaking these .cxrs I can export my image-variations of each .cxr as PSD-files to work on the images in Photoshop afterwards.

Or am i missing something?

Thanks for your answers and help!

kind regards
steppes
