[C4D] Daily Builds / Support for Cinema's Node System
« on: 2022-06-09, 18:00:11 »

Now that Cinema's NEW node system is fully developed and has become the standard way to build materials in Arnold, Vray and Redshift I'm just wondering / hoping, when will Corona support the NEW node system? Considering Corona's stellar C4D integration I would imagine that this is a high priority now that it is fully possible.

The currently implementation of nodes in Corona is great and very clever but I see this as the main drawback of using Corona in C4D since under the hood it is still using Cinema's legacy layer based shading system and I still find it very difficult and buggy to use. Particularly I have issues with the very old layer shader, it never seems to work correctly for me. Not to mention the way undo's are handled seems to not work that well either.

Seems that many of these issues could be solved by supporting the NEW node system that has been implemented across the entire application now. Just waiting for updated xpresso nodes I suppose or maybe they will start to intergrade xpresso functionality inside of Scene Nodes.

Anyhow, would love to know if there will be any developments in this area of Corona for C4D. Either way Corona is still the best looking renderer on the market IMO.

[C4D] Resolved Feature Requests / Volume Builder as VDB?
« on: 2022-03-08, 18:13:56 »

Is there a way currently to use the Volume Builder as a VDB without having to export it as such? Also are overlapping VDBs not supported yet?

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Broken Nodes >>>
« on: 2018-11-27, 18:11:40 »

Hey Guys, attached is a simple shader graph that was working fine before I saved it. Once I re-opening it in C4D it longer works correctly.

I think the culprit is the layer shader. Also any time I made changes to the nodes / noises the IR rendered nothing...

Thanks guys!

[C4D] Feature Requests / Corona Renderer 3!
« on: 2018-11-23, 17:38:31 »
Congrats on the new Corona 3!

Will we see some of these new features in the Cinema 4D version soon?

Can't wait for that new displacement and auto bump!

[C4D] Feature Requests / 1,2,3, navigation in node layout
« on: 2018-11-15, 15:56:39 »
One feature I noticed is missing in the node layout is the ability to use the 1,2,3 button navigation keys.

This feature should definitely be added. Many longtime Cinema 4D users use this navigation system.

[C4D] Resolved Feature Requests / Inside Volume Mode
« on: 2018-11-14, 22:47:23 »
Can you guys please please add or unlock "Inside Volume Mode" in the Corona for C4D version? I know the feature is there in the 3DS Max version.

Can this be done anytime soon?!

Thanks so much best render engine team!!!

[C4D] Feature Requests / Basic X-Particles Support

Will Corona be getting some sort of basic x-particles support? Every other major render engine on the market supports x-particles in some way or another...

I'm afraid I won't be able to use Corona commercially without some x-particles support.

Thanks guys!!!

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Fisheye Lens >>>
« on: 2018-09-26, 19:16:14 »

Hello Corona folks / development team :)

Can a fish-eye lens be added to Corona's camera? I do planetarium work for NASA and would love to be able to use Corona for all of the work we are doing. Unfortunately the final format has to be a 180 degree fish-eye render.

The only engines I can use for this correctly in C4D are Arnold, Redshift, Vray.

I would absolutely love to use Corona on these projects.

Attached are a couple images for reference of what I need to be able to achieve.

Thanks so much!!

Hey Corona folks, I just wanted to share that I just released some new CG HDRI maps on my site: http://shawnastrom.com/cghdri/

They were created in Terragen 4 and have awesome dynamic range!

Thanks everyone!

Gallery / Epic Sunsets CG HDRI Renderings
« on: 2018-03-30, 05:34:10 »

Hey Corona folks... I just wanted to share a few renderings I made today to promote my upcoming CG HDRI packs... These were created with Cinema 4D Corona Beta 2.

Thanks for checking them out!

Can any of the developers share if Hair and X particles will be supported in time for Corona C4D official release?

These are must have features for Corona to be competitive with other engines on the market.

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Camera Mapping Not Working in IR

It appears that camera mapping textures is not working in the IR but works fine in the picture viewer.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a little tutorial I made with everyone here on the forums:

t=353s

Pretty cool little plugin: http://graphos.xyz/Products/

This is one way I figured out how to get https://refractiveindex.info/ into Corona.

Maybe there might be another way? Would love to see if any other Corona users have any ideas.

Thanks, people.
