When i override a material from content browser VFB starts "Parsing Scene" and whole c4d hangs... I realized when i first load my saved material from content browser and let Coro the render the preview out this problem doesnt occur.
And when i adjust a material that has normal map, VFB still crashing the whole c4d... This error has been reported a few weeks ago.

Hello levinho,
sorry that you're having issues, however, overriding material in the content browser works for me correctly in IR, no freeze/crash.
We're aware of the issue with the normal map, unfortunately, it didn't quite fit into the hotfix.
Does the material override issue happen in any scene or one in particular? If in any, would it be possible to create a short video displaying your steps to reproduce it? If in one in particular, would it be possible to send the scene (or its minimal form) over to us? This would help greatly with investigation.
Thanks,
Jan

Hello Jan,
normal map shader has always red outline in node editor, shader does not update unless node editor is relaunched. Are you aware of it?
-
Hello Daniel.
You kind of hijacked another persons bug report, but yes, we are aware of this, but unfortunately we have classified other issues as higher priority than this one. If the material does not automatically update, you can force update it within the node editor by selecting it and double clicking on the preview render in the right-side menu.
Thanks,
Jan
-
My apologies for hijacking, double clicking on preview does not help, so only way how to see updated shared is to close node editor and re-open. Seems to me like a pretty big bug.
-
Is it possible to share the scene with us (or its minimised form)? My material updates after double clicking without issues.
Thanks,
Jan

Hello Jan,
I have uploaded screen recording and scene via private uploader

-
Hey Daniel, can you check again? I can't find it there :)
Thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan, I did it again, and also used dropbox as double check
-
Tested your scene and I know that normal shader's preview is not updating, but material's preview and its realization inside for example IR is updating without the need to reset node editor.
Am I missing your point?
-
Hello Jan,
I have uploaded the screen recording on dropbox where you can see how material updates fine when you open it. However after you change some setting in material, in order to update material preview you need to close and reopen node editor. I have now made keyboard shortcuts to make this very fast.
-
It boggles my mind, shader preview works now. But you see on video it did not work before. Now it does, I did not really change anything. Anyway I will contact you if it happens again.

Strangely not updating shader preview worked for while but is broken again

Hi !
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=30600.0
and the link again:

This is where i reported this problem previously, scene already attached. The problem is, coro vfb crashing when changing normal map, but its still there in hotfix one, and the 10.23 daily build as well. So i simply cannot use normal maps recently...
Thanks: Lev

Hello,
sorry that this issue is taking longer to fix, but it is a part of a bigger Corona Normal issue that we try to fix in its entirety. I have urged the developers to look further into this issue.
By the way, the scene you've linked is inaccessible because it is in your trash bin. Anyhow, I still have the scene locally on my computer so everything is fine.
Thanks,
Jan
-
Can i do anything to make it work until the fix arrives ?
-
Not that I know of, possibly change the values in the normal shader only with IR off.
Thanks,
Jan

We have same problems here

Has this also been tested with the V7 daily build? https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1V8ZhkbXuXnOqftM11pvXlnELLR6I6bbI

Dear Devs, i found out if i load a c4d "layer node" in between like on the image attached it doesnt produce the crash while adjusting parameters of the materials. Still, i have no idea whats the problem with my config as no one else reported this problem only 1-2 mac users.
