[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: "Invisible in masks" doesn't apply to z-depth

Any update on this?  I hope it will be addressed in next build?

@kosmos3d - sounds amazing! - I've been looking for this.  I will check it out.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: "Invisible in masks" doesn't apply to z-depth

That's where you can help us! Would it be possible to prep a scene in which you encounter this issue in V5->V6 transition? It would help us greatly.

thank you for acknowledging the issue!

As far as prepping a scene - the issue it is not something I have experienced, as far as a "transition" when opening the same scene in v5 vs. v7. 
It is simpler than that, actually.

in v5 I can UNTICK the "Visible in masks" option (in the "Advanced" channel of a material) - this will make the material (for example glass), invisible in masks, such as IDmaterial and ZDepth both.

in v7 (and v6, I presume, but I haven't tested) this "Visible in masks" option was removed, and replaced with a "Propegate masks" roll-out menu, where one of the options is "Invisible in masks" (which I assume should be identical to unchecking "Visible in masks") - thsi will make the material invisible in ID passes, but HAS NO EFFECT ON THE ZDEPTH pass..

So, it's clear that there was a change in how the ZDEPTH is handled (as a mask)...  hopefully this is indeed a bug.

no comment on this?  in my opinion it's a huge archviz workflow issue.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / "Invisible in masks" doesn't apply to z-depth

« on: 2021-01-29, 02:03:20 »

Not sure if this is a bug, but I hope it's not a feature!  In v5 the z-depth was apparently treated as a "mask", and this functioned very nicely.  Why was this removed?

[C4D] Feature Requests / Material "invisible to z-depth"

« on: 2021-01-29, 01:51:40 »

as the title says, i hope this is self-explanatory.  It used to be possible (in v5) to have a material be invisible to Z-depth (for archviz with a lot of glass, this is kinda essential). 
Not sure when, or how, this was decided to be removed, but I really hope you can bring this back, so I don't have to render a separate z-depth pass for every single view I render (roll-eye emoji).

I hope I am explaining this problem accurately, but please refer to this thread for the same issue:

old thread, but I feel like this was forgotten?  Will it be possible to exclude certain materials from being overridden?

will the shared shader work with the c4d .lib files?

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: volume fog

« on: 2019-12-04, 00:26:51 »

Does anyone have more recent success with creating noise, or graduated volume fog?  I am beginning to think that Corona for C4D needs to have the "Corona Distance Texmap" as shown in the linked tutorial (the C4D proximal shader is just not up to par)

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: BUG: R20 v4 Hotfix3 - tiny, but super annoying bug in VFB input fields (WIN10)

« on: 2019-11-05, 22:43:23 »

Frankly, i don't know how VFB behaves when entering values manually, because i almost always just drag spinners - that's way faster for me, but if you say it's inconsistant, then of course, it's very bad. I was more refering to OP's statement that this is bug, when it's clearly not, at least not in 3ds Max.

ok - I've verified that this behavior is consistent with the behavior in corona for 3d max, which would then make me agree, that it is not a bug - just really bad interface design [rolleyes]

no one feels like acknowledging this important workflow bug?

Also still exists in v5 daily build for R21 ;)
