OK. I will check the shading rules to avoid it next time. Do you have any link where I could find more info?

The Online help. Phong tag.
There you can read WHY reducing the phong angle would have helped and much more.
I've also attached a file to play with. Increase/decrease the phong angle and watch what happens, also switch "use phong breaks" on and off. The phong mystery is best solved by trying. It's what other apps call "soft shading" or "smooth shading" or whatever.

PS
For glass panes, always use a very low phong angle unless you want "spherical distortions".

Have you tried to reduce the Phong angle, like really, really lower it?

It's the Weld option in the Connect object.
With it, the topology changes all the time, you change the point count and make it impossible for the Motion Blur to work properly.

When it comes to my favorite Corona feature, I am never bored ;)

You almost did not give me a chance to upload an example ;)
Very quick one, I usually would use distance as mask, here is a direct use case.

Have fun!

Absolutely. The Distance shader works very well with displacement.

In Tags / Extensions.
See your screenshot.

It's in Extensions.

I would have needed this once or twice, too, Wouldn't be bad to have this working in Corona.

[C4D] I need help! / Re: Animated Texture on a surface
« on: 2023-05-14, 02:23:16 »
Hi, you can easily use a light material with an .mp4 video. Click on the animation tab and calculate. Set the frames as desired. Apply to mesh and render. This will only show that it's animated in the final render, it does not work in IR.
Ok thanks, seems hard without the pre-render possibility, you must do it in blind mode but i'm gonna try in few days, i will tell you the result !

Fun Fact:
The C4D native material can display a video texture "live" when you check "Animate Preview" in the "Viewport" tab of the material.
I either use a C4D native material here (Corona can render them fine, at least the important channels) or use such material for previews and timing and later exchange it on the object.

Makes me wonder when would you ever want to turn "lock sampling pattern" off? Seems like something I don't want.

Quoting maru from this forum:
"Lock sampling pattern" only affects the pattern created by the noise for each rendered frame.
It should be on if you are rendering an animation and do not intend to use denoising, or if you are using one of denoisers in Corona.
It should be off if you are rendering an animation and you are planning to use a 3rd party denoiser which expects noise pattern changing for each frame.

XPresso would be something like that (2 keyframes):

29
I am sure I did not say that :P
But be it as it may, what you want also happens on an unharmed Earth, twice a year, on locations along the equator on the days of the equinoxes. No  need for space travel, the Sun expression can do that ;)

Still, I'd use one of the above mentioned workarounds if I needed the sun to pass exactly through zenith and nadir. Or I'd put together a little Xpresso setup, if I needed it more than once.

Ha yes maybe it was possible to do with a particular location in the world, but pfffiouuu i can't think of all this, too complicated for me haha, I just wanted to put 2 keys and voila ^^'

And i absolutely don't know what is a xpresso setup, maybe something related to coffee, but for a beginner like me (1 week of cinema 4D!), it's too complicated too i think, but maybe soon i'll be aware of those things.
But for now.... gimme a infinite angleeeee powerrr because i'm crying some blood with my key smoothing :PPP

Yeah, I forgot you were totally new to C4D, sorry.
In fact, C4D has a really strong obsession with caffein, besides the old COFFEE coding language we have XPresso (kind of a visual coding language), we even have Cappuccino and it's a miracle MAXON did not name the Lathe object Latte ;)

Hahah we are so imaginative :) Over to you, users - show us what this can be used for!

Wait, there ARE other decals than the Corona logo? Oh ...
