Hi beanzvision,

I agree but wish they had not hijacked Coronas backgrounds! LOL! Thanks for the reply 👍😎

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

« on: 2018-10-02, 14:22:20 »

Hi Romullus,

Thank you for clarifying this. I was a bit curious what to do with the AO. Also, thanks for the info on gamma settings. Never thought of touching this. I don't suppose you know of a good video tutorial on using nodes? 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 👍👍😎

Hi,

I decided to go with Ranch Computing. They are in my opinion much bette and support Corona with the latest build and R20. Excellent customer service as well. The job got done without a hitch. Thanks guys for you input 👍😎 John.

Hi Nkilar,

Thanks for you reply. I am using the latest build. What version did you use for Rebus? Can I install another or older version and send it to Rebus? I am not using any fancy multi passes. Probably only z-depth for DOF. Thanks again for your help 😎👍 John.

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

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

Hi Forum!

I wanted to reply to Core2000 on "jump from Vray to Corona". I bought Vray at a totally ridiculous price. It is so hard to even do simple things. Got a job with 9 object ids and it can't cope. Corona is KING. Might see if I can sell my licence and only pay for Corona when  it becomes commercially available. Fantastic work Team Corona 👍😊

Wow this new update is leaps ahead. WELL DONE TEAM CORONA! Is there a good link to learn the node system, eager to get tuck in 😎😊

Hi All,

Thank you all for your responses. I will try this out when I get a chance. I have had to do this project with C4D standard renderer as I am having problems with displacement maps. Bummer! Struggling to get the same results as Corona :0 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!

Hi Josef!

I love the free kit you did and use it all the time. Please do release a commercial version. I would be first in line to buy it! Great work :-)
