[C4D] I need help! / Out of memory with team renderer...

« on: 2024-08-21, 23:05:45 »

Hi Forum,

I know this might not be a Corona problem so please forgive me! I have my workstation with 96GB RAM(AMD 7950X) and a Aero17 Laptop with 64GB RAM (Intel i9 10th Gen). I'm trying to get Team Render to work but keeps giving me a 'out of memory' in the TM Client console. The scene is only small, a logo animated for 10secs for my website header. Is there certain things I need to check-mark to get it to work? Many thank's, John :-) Both machines are on Windows 11 Pro BTW.

[C4D] I need help! / Cosmos assets missing...

« on: 2024-08-15, 12:49:51 »

Hi Forum,

I bought a new custom workstation a while back and have deleted C4D off my laptop. I have a few projects on a external HD but it has lost all the links. What is the best way to get these links sorted on the new workstation? Many thanks, John :-)

[C4D] General Discussion / Corona vs Vantage...

« on: 2024-07-13, 19:23:18 »

Hi Forum,

Been playing around with Vantage and I was impressed by the speed... then I started using it and personally thought it would be a lot more straight forward. I would never have time on live projects to use it, to convert materials etc... It is impressive and fast but quality in my oppinion is NO WAY NEAR Corona's. Then I ask myself, do I really need speed over quality when I have a render engine that is superfast with a top workstation? I will be sticking with Corona :-) Only my oppinion btw.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Takes renders occationally rendering darker...

« on: 2024-07-12, 14:09:57 »

Hi Support,

Occationally when I set a batch of takes renders to go they render much darker. Only happens occationally. Stop render, then start again and all is well. No big problem but a little one. On 12 btw.

[C4D] I need help! / Materials mapped wrong when porting to Vantage

« on: 2024-07-11, 22:11:36 »

Hi Support,

Not sure if this is a Corona or Vantage problem? I am trialing Vantage and a lot of materials are coming over with wrong projection. I have supplied two images so you can see the problem. I have sent Chaos a request as well. Many thanks :-) John

[C4D] Feature Requests / Convert Mats to Vantage...

« on: 2024-07-09, 20:02:18 »

Hi All,

Watched the webinar on Vantage today and very keen to trial it. I have a big pop-up event site I would love to trial. Quite a complex scene with 100's of materials. Some are legacy some are standard mats. I looked at the vantage compatability chart and recon quite a few will fail. Is there a way to get these highlighted or is this something that could be created? Similar to the 'Convert To Corona' but for Vantage? I will see how it goes once I have my trial up n running :-)

[C4D] General Discussion / Vantage Live View & Camera animation ETA?

« on: 2024-07-05, 20:04:21 »

Hi Support,

Very keen to try Vantage but going to wait with my trial until Corona can use camera animations. All my work is set up with C4D camera rigs so will wait until this is possible. Just curious when this will be in the next 13 daily build? Weeks or month? Gave it a go for a day and very impressed.

[C4D] Feature Requests / Easy double sided decals...

« on: 2024-07-03, 20:22:15 »

Hi All,

First I wanted to say the new decals are AWESOME! Being able to bend them is a massive one. Is there a simple way to impliment double sided decals? Would be super handy for bottle labels needing white paper on the back. I know Tom showed me a way to do it but can't remeber and it was a bit labour intensive.

[C4D] General Discussion / Vantage intergration...

« on: 2024-06-28, 16:05:50 »

Hi Support,

Great work on the last build! I signed up for a 30 day trial for Vantage but asked them to postpone it as it was too early. I am super keep to learn Vantage with Corona mainly for store/event fly-throug's so need to know when is the best time to re-activate my trial? I have a full ALDI store I built and kept the mats as simple as possible to port to Octane. I have set up 8 walk-through animations and would love to spend the 30-day trial to texture, light and animate this with Vantage. When you release 12, will it be ok and have all features available? I have a 4080RTX card in my new machine and keen to do some GPU still renders, will Vantage help on single images as well? Have a good weekend All :-)

[C4D] Daily Builds / New VFB2 great on two monitor setup with different res...

« on: 2024-06-25, 19:36:04 »

I love the new VFB2 as I can now drag it from my main wide curved DELL to my small monitor without text doing distroted, kepps the layout readable. Before I had to first make full size then click the tabs to get the text to display correct. Little anoying thing gone, good work! And more stable as well :-)

[C4D] Daily Builds / Last few Daily Builds very slow on Windows 11

« on: 2024-06-18, 22:30:00 »

Hi All,

I have been running the last couple of daily builds and found opening projects EXTREMELY SLOW. Last daily build I gave up after waiting for 30mins... Have reverted to latest stable 11 (hotfix 2) and opens instantly. SUPER EXITED about Vantage, had a little go so great to see this being rolled out, nice work Team Corona!

[C4D] General Discussion / Should I use Team Render... or not?

« on: 2024-05-25, 10:47:07 »

HI Forum,

I got a new custom workstation last week (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16core, 96GB RAM, RTX 4080Super). I had a AERO17 laptop (Intel Core 9 10th gen, 64GB Ram, RTX 2080Super). The render time difference is insane! 40min v 2.2mins... so not complaining btw. I have my AERO17 connected to my highspeed local and wonder if there is any point using it as a render node? Do any one out there do this? Is it possible to get better render speeds? Tried a test scene and takes 6mins so guessing not or is there a issue I can fix?

Thanks and have a good weekend :-)

Hardware / Getting a new PC Desktop, need some processor advice...

« on: 2024-01-22, 19:10:31 »

Hi Forum,

Getting a new desktop PC built soon and have a question on either Intel or AMD? My friend at Armari has suggested AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 4.5-5.7GHz 16 Core UNLOCKED Processor, but my Laptop is a Intel core 9 10th Gen. I have read some people are having problems with Corona / AMD. Should I switch or stay with Intel? Would love to get some user/Corona Team advice before a I commit, Thanks, John :-)

[C4D] I need help! / How to get coloured neon tubes?????!!!!

« on: 2024-01-04, 20:04:21 »

Hi Support,

I need to create a simple row of neon tube lights going from cyan/light blue to white. When I crank up the light all tubes go white which I suppose in real life would happen but I need to visualise them coloured. They emit the light correctly but need the tubes to be coloured, is there a easy way to achieve this or do I have to do it post in Photoshop? Many thanks for any ideas :-)
