[C4D] I need help! / Re-installing Corona on dead Mac...

« on: 2019-05-31, 23:56:53 »

Hi Forum,

My 27" iMac died last night but have managed to re-format it back to life. I installed Corona but it is now in demo mode. How do I un-install Corona to start again so I can register my licence? I have a pay per moth licence by the way.

[C4D] General Discussion / Motion Squared Mega Library?...

« on: 2019-04-24, 18:20:11 »

Hi Forum!

I saw that Motion Square has converted their library of textures for use with Corona. Has anybody used it yet? I have a question if so. I have the library for VRay and Standard C4D renderer but had problems rendering with Team Renderer. Would this affect Corona? John :-)

[ARCHICAD] Feature Requests / Car Paint Shader...

« on: 2019-04-08, 12:32:59 »

Hi Forum!

I had to create a display out of glitter perspex. I did struggle to get the effect of glitter with a super gloss top. It would be great to have a car paint shader similar to Vray. Is this likely to happen in the future? Many Thanks! John 👍

[C4D] General Discussion / Sharpening amount not registering when using Takes with Team Renderer...

« on: 2019-02-22, 22:36:12 »

Hi Forum,

Happy Friday all 👍😎 I am working on a project where I have 12 cameras all set up to render with Takes. For some reason when I specify sharpening in the Corona settings it does not set it to 3 but 1. Also, I have turned Bloom & Glare but it still renders with. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! John

[Max] I need help! / How to create a wall projection...

« on: 2019-01-30, 23:48:23 »

Hi Corona Forum!

I am currently working on a visualisation of a exhibition project. There will be two ceiling mounted projectors. How would I go about creating the wall projections onto the wall? Should I create a spotlight with a gel of the image in front? Any help would be appreciated 🙏👍😎 John.

[C4D] General Discussion / GREAT WORK ON FINAL RELEASE!

« on: 2019-01-24, 00:15:46 »

Hi Team Corona,

Just wanted to give a BIG 👍 for the final release. Have not had a crash yet. Only problem I am having is with my old ageing iMac 27" 2011 not rendering on TM. Can't wait to see what you have in the pipeline for the future 😎🙏 John

[C4D] General Discussion / Team Renderer issues with IES lights...

« on: 2019-01-12, 23:50:47 »

Hi Forum!

Happy New Year everyone and glad we have a commercial version now. I have a question on using IES lights with TR. When I render my job on a single machine I get the correct shadows, when I render with TR they don't. Why is this? Any suggestions? Thanks John :-)

[Max] I need help! / Using textures from PixPlant3 in Corona node system...

« on: 2018-10-02, 11:23:14 »

Hi Forum!

I am learning how to use the node based material set up at the moment and have a question. I use PixPlant3 to create my texture which output all the relevant parts (diffuse, specular, normal, ao and displacement). I have worked out were most go but not sure what slot the AO goes into? Have I set it up properly? Any help would be appreciated 😎🙏 Also, is there a good video tut on node setups and workflow? Thanks! John.

[C4D] Feature Requests / Different shader preview background from R20...

« on: 2018-10-02, 10:43:13 »

Hi Forum!

On thing I am finding annoying with R20 is they have copied Coronas chequered background so it is now quite hard to distinguish between C4D & Corona Materials. Is there a way to change this? Thanks, and good work on the new update by the way 🙏👍😎 John

[C4D] Feature Requests / Docking the IR Window?...

« on: 2018-09-19, 11:23:27 »

Hi Forum!

Not sure if this is possible or if it is a feature request. Can you dock the Interactive Render window some how so it does not float? Thanks! John 👍👍😎

[C4D] General Discussion / Using Rebus Render Farm...

« on: 2018-09-11, 18:51:07 »

Hi Forum!

I have a question on using Corona with Rebus Render Farm. Does it work ok? Is there any problems or settings I should be aware of? This is the first animation job I will use Corona with. In the past I have sent jobs using the Physical render engine without GI but using AO. Any help would be appreciated as I am a bit nervous 😳 Thanks 🙏 John

[C4D] General Discussion / Z Depth pass problems

« on: 2018-08-31, 22:07:28 »

Hi Forum!

I have a (probably) simple question. I want to create DOF using z depth pass but struggling to get a smooth gradient from front to back. I can use the values but I have 8 cameras in the scene. How do I use the camera settings (IE drag the focus distance and depth distance with the green camera triangle) to control the Corona output? Hope this makes sense. In the camera settings I use to use the 'DOF Map Rear Blur' to create a good b/w depth pass. Thank you 🙏👍 John

[C4D] General Discussion / Weird circle in brushed metal texture...

« on: 2018-01-17, 15:17:47 »

Hi Corona Forum!

Happy New Year to you all 👍 I have created a simple brushed aluminium texture and getting a weird circle in the middle of the box shape that I applied the texture to. It is a cigarette pack and the texture is applied cubic at 5%. Anyone know why this is happening?

Many Thanks!

[C4D] General Discussion / Team Renderer with R19...

« on: 2017-12-18, 21:56:40 »

Hi Forum!

I have just purchased R19 and a new MacBook Pro. I am using two MacBook Pros and one 27" iMac (2011). Team Render does not start on the two client machines. I know there is still issues with TR with Corona. I did have to downgrade Corona to the November 27th 2017 version to avoid crashes. John :-)

[C4D] General Discussion / How to use Corona Renderer with Greyscale Gorilla HDRI Link?...

« on: 2017-11-21, 23:12:35 »

Hi Corona Forum!

I did post a similar topic a while back using GSG HDRI Link. I am still not a 100% sure how to set it up. Should I use Corona Sky and add the Link tag to this or use a C4D sky object and add the Link tag to this? GSG tutorials only give tutorials on using it with Octane or V-Ray but does say it is compatible with Corona. Anyone used it together yet?
