[C4D] I need help! / Decal on thick glass

« on: 2022-04-17, 19:04:37 »

Is it possible to use a Decal on glass with thickness (such as a bottle) without it being seen on the back polygons? Also, is it possible to to have a  back material to the Decal?
It all seems possible with a flat plane of glass but when the glass is curved so much that the Decal depth has to be increased enough to encapsulate the curve it also gets projected onto the back of the glass, and also using 2 different materials for the front and back projection no longer work correctly.
I've fiddled with different projections with the decal materials. Different glass materials. And different lighting. It would be so nice to get this to work instead of going back to the old method of splitting out polygons to make a label.

Thank you Bengamin, Im running Windows 10 v.21h1 C4D R25.117, and Corona V.8 Feb 2, 2022. Although when the issue was  originally posted I was on the previous Corona daily build.

Ha, I was thinking (joking) in the back of my mind, they just need to add a polarizing filter to the Post Render. Perhaps like negative numbers under Bloom and Glare.
And, if they would add swing and tilt to the Corona Camera it would be just like the old days.

Does weird things when projected over a selection with different material applied.

I went the other direction...I made my own desk with a nice padded foot rest, a 30" pull out shelf under the top for my wireless keyboard and mouse and wacom. Add a comfortable reclining office chair with adjustable arm rests. I hardly move a muscle, everything is supported. So I get up often and get a drink of water and look at something farther the 24" from my face.

Is there an upgrade path? I just bought the previous version 4.5.

My sincerest apologies, Jan. I had no hostile intentions.

The flaky thing is, I came back to the project yesterday and it did all work fine. I did not close the project and reopen, did not restart C4D or the computer. Just picked up where I left off the day before and now it works as expected. I also noticed the previous day after I posted here that the controls in texture mode were not working with legacy materials either. So it wasn't a physical materials thing. Probably not a Corona thing. I'm blaming Windows.

You know...TEXTURE MODE,maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing! Also Scaling the texture with Coordinates doesn't update in the Corona IR either.

Maybe a little flaky, and maybe not consistently reproducible. Right now I am working in Texture Mode and turning Tiling Off or On has no effect in Corona IR or scaling UVs for that matter. Must be stopped and restarted. I've noticed a few other glitchy things too, but cannot recall them exactly at the moment. I'll try to remember to log them when they occur.
Some might be me, as I am trying to learn how to use the new Physical Materials. Some times crashes C4D, sometimes Crashes my whole Machine. The new little help menus help a lot.

Problem solved (I think).

I had the Grass Kit the child of a Null Object with all my other landscape objects. Once I removed GK 4.5 from the Null and placed it in the top hierarchy it functioned properly without the mystery plane slicing through my scene. Don't know why it was causing this and I cannot reproduce it with a simple scene.

Sorry to air it out here, I could not find any other way to reach out to the developer for support. Now I am happy.

Windows 10
Cinema 4D S22
Corona Ver. 7.0-9/11

Here is the front view and then the same thing after deleting the Grass Kit 4.5 from the scene.

It is not working correctly for me in S22.
I get a large plane that cuts through my entire scene that makes it completely unusable. I have tried different camera angles and different selections but it is always there smack in the middle at a weird angle. Goes away when I delete GK 4.5 Corona from the scene. Highly disappointed.

I just bought this today hoping to make the grass more pretty and faster than my normal method and it killed me in the end, had to call a new client and beg for more time.
My fault for changing workflow at the last minute.

Sorry for the grainy image, I am so strapped for time.

Well I was wrong. I thought I knew what Maru was talking about but I looked all over the UVW Randomizer and many other shaders including Wood for a "Space setting" to no avail. I am such an idiot, I need to read better. It was under Noise the whole time.

I can confirm this^^^. It seems to function properly except it never actually loads the saved curve.
