[ARCHICAD] Resolved Bugs / Re: Is .exr file supported?

« on: 2018-12-03, 11:27:40 »

Hi, this is a bug in Corona, we should be able to load textures from directories with Chinese characters! Moved the post to the "bug reporting" section, I will get back to you when the bug is fixed.

[ARCHICAD] Feature Requests / Re: Export materials and settings

« on: 2018-12-03, 11:24:01 »

Hi, thank you for the suggestion! It may be possible to work with the Din3D plugin to export Corona materials into Cinema, where they could be used with Corona for Cinema4D. However, our goal is to make it possible to render in ARCHICAD without using other 3D applications, so this is probably not going to be a priority for now.

Hi, thank you for the bug report! I moved the post to the proper forum section. Other users also encountered similar issues where the rendering hung; this seems to be another instance of the same problem. Can you please check the latest daily build to see whether the issue persists?

Proxies: can you please send me the .cgeo and .pln files? I checked and the proxies are correctly positioned in my ARCHICAD. The proxies do not come with materials and textures from 3ds Max: that is something we definitely want to do in the long run, but we are not there yet.

Lights: yes, the plugin should be able to render the native CineRender lights from the ARCHICAD library. However, another user on the forum reported some troubles with these lights (the brightness does not match), so they may not work perfectly. Also note that some ARCHICAD lights are nonphysical (transparent or missing shadows, do not have quadratic falloff, ...) so they may produce unexpected results and make the renderer slower.

[ARCHICAD] Bug Reporting / Re: proxy

« on: 2018-12-03, 10:18:23 »

Hi, thank you for your bug report! The proxies are very provisional, so they may not always work well. Adding a "use uniform material" checkbox is a good idea, I have added it to my list of smaller feature requests. Can you please send me the .cgeo file, and perhaps also the .pln file? That will be the easiest way for me to debug this.

(I also moved this post to the "bug reporting" section of the forum.)

[Archive] Chaos Corona for ARCHICAD / Re: Corona menu not showing

« on: 2018-12-03, 10:09:46 »

My archicad was the Archicad Solo, so the folder was different from the common normal folder of the non-solo (full) version. So I had to copy the files into the correct folder, and it worked.

May I ask what was the installation directory of the Solo version on your computer? Did you use the default location, or did you modify it? If the directory of the Solo version is predictable, we can support it in the installer by default.

[ARCHICAD] Resolved Bugs / Re: Corona Render Installer Fatal Error

« on: 2018-12-03, 09:45:55 »

Hi, thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, your CPU seems to be too old, it doesn't support SSE4.1 extension. Corona used to have a "legacy" version that worked on older CPU, but it is not supported anymore. Sorry for this.
