Corona for Cinema 4D Beta 1 daily build

[Beanzvision]

Just installed beta 1 (upgraded from A6.3) but crashes on render. No bug reports are generated. Running Windows 10 and C4D R16.050

*Update. I uninstalled beta 1 and reinstalled A6.3, even rendering a basic cube crashes my Cinema now.

Installation for Mac does not work. Tried with R16 and R18. Once I open Cinema, Corona is nowhere to be found. Have not tested PC version.

Hi, can you please send a list of paths where you have installed all versions of Cinema4D. I changed detection of installation paths that installer can find the demos too, but there can be some bug.

Just wanted to say that the Bitdefender AV Free Edition reports the installer .exe to be "bad" so a user has to unblock it :) Excited about the release, good job team!

edit: Better yet, it blocks the .exe in the middle of the installation lol

Hi, thank you for the message. We will report false positive to Bitdefender.

Hi Team,

The installation work well for me, Win10, R18.041.

The hdri dont work.
- create a sky object, add a material with hdri in diffuse, crash without rapport.
- Scene environnement, override c4d environnement with a hdri in diffuse, crash

Lightmix
-scene with a sky and sun, add a corona light, multipass, enable, ligthmix, light select, add the corona light. VFB, hit render, ligthmix, play with value and nothing change.

Hi, I tried a fresh install of beta 1 and there's no crash or hangup when I render a simple scene. It must be something in the materials or in the scene that you are trying out. Could you send us the scene please?

I confirm crash with HDR on windows.
Create a new scene, put a light material with hdr to a sky object and launch the render from VFB, crash

[fabio81]

it seems there are Gi problems even with the Beta version. Try all of dafult. The problem is solved with "animation (flicker free) but it is extremely slow.
I attach the file


thanks

Reproduced! I'm on it now! :-)

well, I hope will be resolved soon because now I can not use the beta version, in all my scenes i always use hdr :)
in the meantime use the Alpha 6.3 version

thanks

I just uploaded a new version with modified package for macOS (link is the same). I removed detection of CINEMA 4D demo because it effectively doubles the size of the package but when no full version is detected installer shows dialog where installation path can be changed now.

Hi, just installed the new MacOS package you uploaded, but it seems it is not fixed (at least not on my machine). Please see the attached screenshot of how I installed it. I did look at my install directory and it did place the "corona" folder in:

Macintosh HD > Applications > MAXON > CINEMA 4D R18 > plugins folder.

The files it placed in that folder are also attached as a screenshot.

Thanks!

With a simple sphere 64 segments and reflect material, sky with hdr light material = does not crash.
With a simple sphere 512 segments and reflect material, sky with hdr light material = does not crash.
With same setup but with sphere under subdivision surface = crash.

Win10, c4dr18.041, beta1 clean install

Hdri and simple cube:
- create a sky object, add a material with hdri in diffuse = no crash
- Scene environnement, override c4d environnement with a hdri in diffuse = no crash

Same scene but with 1 matrix extrude cube = no crash
Same scene but with 2 matrix extrude cube = no crash
Same scene but with 3 matrix extrude cube = crash

A lot of crashes appeared when older scenes are opened in Beta 1. When UI is changed in CINEMA 4D plugin the way of storing of settings in the scene is automatically changed too (this is how CINEMA 4D works) and this causes the crashes. We are writing migration code right now and we are also improving the code that non-migrated settings will not crash the CINEMA 4D. Next daily build with fixes (or the first batch of them will be released on Wednesday).
