[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Multipass switch inconsitent

« on: 2018-09-19, 16:15:26 »

Hello there,

When enabling MP in Corona MP manager and then disabling it will cause the MP render to be inconsistent and rendered with color profile and color management is applied.
This is problematic as Cinema uses this information to save renders.

Steps to repro (assuming C4d defaults):
1.) Create new scene
2.) Add cube
2.) Add sky
3.) Set Corona as renderer
3.) Render to PV
--
4.) Open Corona MP manager
5.) Switch on MP (in C4D's "Save" section in render settings, MP save options become available)
6.) Switch off MP (note that the above mentioned MP save options are still enabled)
7.) Render again
8.) Go into PV and disable "Show color profile"
9.) Compare renderings.

I assumed that, when MP is disabled, the rendering is again treatened as linear or not color managed at all. (Like it is the case with standard C4D settings, they are synched)

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Asynchronous Post effects when rendering in editor

« on: 2018-09-10, 22:17:13 »

Post effects seems to be out of sync, when rendering in VP and PV, when camera without tag is present.

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Create camera, set it active
2.) Create Corona sky
3.) Set Corona as renderer, go into Camera/PostPro settings, set exposure to -3
4.) Render in editor view
5.) Render in PV.

Compare the differences.
In PV, default post settings are used. However, if adding a CoronaCam-tag, it automatically inherits render settings. So it then renders correctly to PV again.

Has the bug where Post-settings don't get adapted to render settings reported already? I'm asking because this is a major issue. Last weekly had the same issue but was creating a camera tag after VP rendering, oveeriding rendersettings with defaults.

I know this is discontinued but I use it almost daily. Is there some limitation for object or polycount? Converter freezes but after deleting some objects I try again and it works.

This is most likely happening because of assigned materials, etc. What C4d version do you use?
If you are able to share the scene in question, that'd be very welcome.

Only base mat's displacement channel is evaluated.
Alternatively, mask it directly in the displacement-channel of the base mat. Not that nice, but works.
Second alternative: Use vertex maps. Less precise but may work depending on case.

Last built took one month and now its more than a month and at Road Map, Beta 2, I did not see new activity.
I hope, new built will be with new features and lots of improvements.

...

i agree.. from an outside view development seems to have stalled

I'd rather say that they're working hard on the node editor and/or other features. Such task is huge and takes time, therefore it is not of any benefit to release something half-baked - even beta builds.

Is the library preset actually correctly linked? You mentioned an old scene file, so maybe the libs are pointing to another location or it's even missing.

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / "Use as render view" is used in editor rendering

« on: 2018-05-03, 12:50:38 »

When having open more than one perspective viewport, one is generally able to switch to the view that is used as render view via viewport setting.

However, this setting has to be disregarded when rendering in editor. This is C4Ds standard behavior and also used by other render engines.

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Re: Copy and Paste Layered Materials

« on: 2018-04-25, 09:16:07 »

I think that's the concept that Cinema4D simply doesn't acknowledge. There's no C4D layered material in AR or PR, so there's no need to support such action with the code (no referencing a material within a material) - observed same in Indigo.

This is only half of the truth. It's actually the dev who needs to implement that functionality. And it is indeed possible.

« on: 2018-03-22, 19:05:23 »

Hey Matt,

I'm afraid, there's currently no plan to update it, for the following reasons:
Corona is still in development and changes are quite hevy to keep track of.
Corona is awaiting a node-based material system. So there is another point I have to consider in order to make it work with the converter.
And finally: Corona will have its own native scene converter in the future.

Cheers

hdr sky also ?  old or new scene crash immediately for me if a use a hdr sky, a empty scene whith a cube and a hdr sky it's ok, but a more complex scene, impossible rendering.

Same here but crahes even on newly created scenes, with just a cube in it.

Hi Robert,

I only would to ask if you're planning to develope Corona Tools compatible with macOS.

Thanks!

Yes.

Thanks Nikola for latest beta (29/8). working well.

1st crash:
Corona Bitmap Shader:
1- If image already have in texture slot and selected Corona Bitmap, C4D halt.
2- first select Corona Bitmap.... then place texture, works well.

please confirm if anyone tested this.

compositing image tag/ multi-pass works well till now, in older beta (24/7) it was quitting.

few days off... I will do more tests.

thanks.

This may be a regression then. Same appeared on R19 but was then fixed.

Yes, I'm lacking apple hardware and therefore, I can't compile for Macs. Will do it anyways, when CoronaC4D RC arrives.
