[C4D] General Discussion / Picture viewer to saturated and blueish

« on: 2023-01-12, 14:04:33 »

Hi,
I just installed Corona 9 hotfix1 with Cinema 4D 2023 (previously on Corona 6 with Cinema 4D R21)...

Everything works fine, I have just spotted a weird behaviour...

When I render in Picture Viewer I have a difference (on screen) with what I get with VFB but when I save the renderings there are no difference !!! (see attached pictures)

Is there a way to have Picture Viewer showing the same thing as the saved file ???

Thanks for your help.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Corona 7 hotfix 2 + Team render not working

« on: 2022-04-10, 11:10:38 »

Hello,
I'm just talking about team render... VFB rendering and rendering with Picture viewer works fine...

I have tree team render client (2 Mac on Mojave + 1 PC on WIN 10 pro) all with C4D team render R21 and Corona 7 hotfix 2. When I start a rendering it works fine and renders the image until it reaches the post-processing step and then it crashes with a bug report indicating a duplicate definition of plug-ins (qtiles pro and another one)... I have tried to remove those two plug-ins and render again but it crashes also with a bug report indicating nothing !!!

After a while of testing (several days in fact) it came out that the problem came from Corona 7 hotfix 2... I switched back to corona 6 hotfix 2 and it worked without any problem. I alway tested the same scene...

Thanks for your help.

I'm working with C4D R21 and corona 6 hotfix 1 and I have 3 net render client (C4D R21 + Corona 6 hotfix 1) and 1 net render server (C4D R21 + Corona 6 hotfix 1)

I have a simple scene rendering fine with Corona VFB. I then try tor render using "Team render to picture Viewer"... everything works fine..

I then try to render with net render server (using "Save Marked takes with asset" to create a job on the net render server)... the render looks very dark and dull..

Here is an example first rendered with VFB second with Team render server

Thanks in advance for your help.

[C4D] General Discussion / Alpha problem with backplate

« on: 2020-10-21, 11:36:55 »

Hello,

I'm on Mac with Corona 6 hot fix 1 and C4D s22.

I have a simple scene with a backplate for the sky (not for lightning the scene but only for visibility). This backplate is assigned with a light material where I put the picture of the sky. This material emits no light (Emit light to OFF) and in the advanced settings I have unchecked the Visible to alpha channel...

Now when I render the images, the backplate is still visible in my alpha !!! why is that ?

Thanks for your help.

[C4D] I need help! / Team render - Frame Synchronization failed

« on: 2020-04-20, 18:59:19 »

Hello,

I'm on Mac with Cinema 4D R21 and Corona 5. I have a workstation and 3 slaves. Everything is on a 1Gb network...

When I try to render an image with team render, at the beginning everything works fine but after a while i lose 1 slave and then a second slave (Frame synchronisation failed). I restart the 2 slaves and it's working again for some time and then again I loose 2 slaves (not always the same slaves)...

I have tried ARBITRATED in the team render settings but it's not working. I get a black frame...

What can I do... What is causing this error (Frame synchronisation failed) ?

Thanks for any help.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Displacement with Polygon selection

« on: 2020-01-10, 16:00:00 »

Hello,

I think I have spotted a little bug with the new Corona V5.

I have a building with a default material. I have made some polygon selection to apply another material with displacement (the default material has no displacement).

When I render my scene, the building has some strange corner effects (see test1.jpg). I than turn the displacement off in my second material and render again... Everything is perfect (see test2.jpg) ???

It seem's like if corona apply the displacement of the second material (polygon selection) even on polygons not selected...

Bug or not ?

Thanks for your help.
