General CG Discussion / Re: Scene Scale for Archviz

« on: 2024-07-25, 15:57:16 »

Just a pro-tip for pleasant interoperability I learned along the way:

To prevent any unit, orientation & color issues make yourself an intermittent 'I/O scene' (kind of a 'triage') set to your own standard.

Hmm, can't replicate this either...

You sure about it?
Works same, either sing Cinema or Corona materials (w10, 2024.4.1, latest v13 daily).

Also try using complex IOR, AO, distance shader, slight roughness... anything basically to add naturalistic imperfections in materials.
BTW, Chrome is quite dark IRL.

Yes, it seems like "CRN Bitmap" has improper 'orientation'. Native one is fine.
Tested w/ Version • 13 (Daily Build Jul 18 2024) • C4D 2024.4.1 • ms W10

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Mapping Randomizer messes up normal maps

« on: 2024-07-23, 19:43:11 »

I'd imagine that randomly rotating normal maps in 3D space would've had such an effect.

Nope, ain't no such thing present in C4D.
But there's workaround posted in "2 sided material c4d front back material tag vs layered material normal map mask"

tl;dr
Article on "How to create a 2 sided layered material? - C4D"

Dead link above... goes here: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528506793361-How-to-create-a-2-sided-layered-material-C4D

It'd be nice to consider this as feature request, since it appears to be native to Corona in Max (e.g. "Easy double sided decals...")
;)

Check "Ray-Switcher Material"

Still though, specific details would fare better...

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Corona 11 HF2 - Corona VFB and the Corona camera tag still do not synchronize

« on: 2024-06-20, 14:21:54 »

latest two releases, i noticed the same - rendering does indeed refreshes, but does not sync/update to changes, restart is a must

PS
Strange, some things sync and some don't - noticed after further usage.
Didn't find any 'pattern' yet...

[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: V12 RC1 - New VFB UI / UX

« on: 2024-06-20, 14:14:32 »

Latest v12 RC1 lost sync abilities - restarting render became a must.

Also, agreeing on new VFB UI/UX - there's basically no progress, still too static and cumbersome to use (mind you again, we're not Max users ;)

in the old days, Ambient occlusion sufficed, and most of the time still does ;)

Or just check "Thin" on your glass shader.

Ah, older C4D on macs...

R 2024.4 on W10 here.

No such issues here. Camera works in sync both ways and Cosmos asset textures are just fine.

What specifically seems to be off? Care to describe steps to reproduce and post your specs...
