[C4D] I need help! / Only part of model rendered at high resolution output

« on: 2023-06-09, 10:20:06 »

Hello,

I encounter the following problem. I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss. Fact is that I'm using the lates Daily Build (RC1) on Cinema 4D 2023.2.1:

I have a not too complex model of a filter tissue. I have a corona layered material on it (consisting of 2 ohysical materials of which one uses displacement).
The displacement isn't too complex but when I hit render it takes about 10-20 minutes to calculate the displacement.
Now I need to render an output of 5000 x 5000 px. When I do that after calulating the displacement insteda of rendering the whole model, only the two caps are rendered. I show that on the two attached screenshots. Only when I lower the output resolution (I went up to 4800 x 4800 px)the whole thing is rendered right.


Now I'm not sure if this is connected to my system. The specs are:
Win 10 Pro, 64 Bit
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-Core, 2,9 GHz
256 GB RAM
NVIDIA RTX A6000

I Would be thankful if you could give me a hint.

Regards

Börje

[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: Materials in Cosmos Browser missing compared to website?

« on: 2023-03-16, 11:24:45 »

Thanks,

it's what I was thinking. I just wasn't sure as there were even material categories which cannot be seen in my local host…

So now at least I have a confirmation.

[C4D] Daily Builds / Materials in Cosmos Browser missing compared to website?

« on: 2023-03-15, 17:59:39 »

I'm not sure if this is a Daily Build Problem.

I have just realized that the materials shown in the Cosmos Browser in the internet (https://cosmos.chaos.com/assets) contain a lot more materials than in my cosmos browser which I start from within C4D.

I guess there's still a lot of materials only available for vray? If so are you going to make them available also for Corona/C4D?

Just as a note, if any installation, licensing, etc. problems are encountered, the best route is to contact us at https://support.chaos.com/requests/new and the team can look things up, give the recommended steps to resolve, etc. Thanks!

Hey Tom,

that was what I had done. And that was the result.
Nevertheless I will try the steps posted in the Link by Oxcan London.

Yes. Had the same here. It was only after I installed a standalone version of the license-manager.
If you install/update everything except(!) the license manager everything should work fine. At least in my case it worked.

[C4D] Daily Builds / Corona for Cinema 4D daily-2022-09-19-mac: Error on installation

« on: 2022-09-22, 12:53:55 »

I encounter a problem when installing the package on my mac. At first everythning seems to work well. I get asked where to install and for which C4D-Versions I want to install the plugin. After confirmation the installation starts but after a while I get an error saying that an error has ocurred and that I shall contact the software developer.

I already tried to re-download the installer. But still the same error.

I work on a Mac Pro running MacOS 12.6

I can only provide a German Screenshot of the error message (attached).


Hope you can help me.

[C4D] Daily Builds / Compatibility to C4D 2023

« on: 2022-09-09, 17:10:50 »

Do I guess right that you are working on the compatibility to the recent C4D-version 2023?

At least the installer doesn't recognize the newly installed C4D version when I install the plugin.
Though I haven't yet  tried just copying the plugin-directory to the new c4D-versions plugin-folder.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Animated Light Material renders weird in different frames

« on: 2022-04-02, 11:42:57 »

OK. Thanks for the explanation. Though pretty weird. I'm gonnna send this to Maxon.

Thanks again for your solution. It worked in my animation using "emit on both sides". Actually now it looks even more how it was supposed to look :-)

Cheers

« on: 2022-04-01, 19:44:45 »

Thanks.

I will try it on a fast animation-test-render with the multiple sweeps.
But a first test told me, too, that emit on both sides makes the difference.

Nevertheless I suppose, this is a bug in some way!?

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Animated Light Material renders weird in different frames

« on: 2022-04-01, 18:23:58 »

Hello,

I have a strange behaviour which I cannot explain to myself:
I have made a simple Animation of sweep nurbs (circle along a spline) which grow with increasing time. There are two sweeps: one with a smaller circle which runs a little bit ahead. This one has a simple Corona Physical Material, light blue with a 50% opacity. The other one has a little larger circle and runs a little bit behind the other one. This ha a light material with animated emission and animated opacity.

Now on my 475 frame animation there are some frames on which the light material behaves diffenrently and I cannot say why. On some frames the rendered light material seems to have less opacity and then on the next frame it is normal again. Definitely on these frames there is no animated keyframe or anything similar. This results in the animation to flicker on some frames. Strange is, that its seems to affect only some of the Sweeps on different frames. I have put  different sweeps in one group and habve assigned the material to the group. So I would think that all sweeps should act the same and have the "flickering" on the same frame. But it's not so.

I have attached an example where there are three consecutive frames. On frame 322 everything is fine, on frame 323 one can see that through the light material you recognize the thinner sweep, on frame 324 everything is fine again.

When I copy those two sweeps into a new C4D-file it's still the same: on frame 322 and 324 everything is fine, on frame 323 the inner sweep shines through.

I also have attached those two C4D-scenes.

I use Corona Renderer Version 8 Daily Build RC 3, but didn't check if on Version 7 it's also like that.
Rendered it on Cinema 4D R25 117

Would be happy if someone could help.

Cheers

If you mean "Highlight Compression": it is now part of a sub-menu under "Filmic" (on the right side you find an arrow to be clicked!

Does anybody know if an update to Win 11 would also improve performance on a threadripper-system?
I'm using an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-Core Processor @ 2.90 GHz.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Support of mutated vowel (Umlaut) when im porting from Chaos Cosmos

just stopping by to say that "mutated vowel" is the funniest way to describe accents I had ever saw.

Cheers from the ěščžýáíé gang

:-D

Haha. I just used the Google-Translator, as I just wouldn't know which was the right word in English.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Support of mutated vowel (Umlaut) when im porting from Chaos Cosmos

« on: 2022-03-01, 12:13:46 »

When importing a 3D-model from Chaos Cosmos the default place in which the proxy file is stored, is the user folder.
As my user folder contains a mutated vowel ("ö") it seems that this is not supported. In C4D (on windows) in the URI of the file the "ö" is substituted by "ￃﾶ", so the link doesn't work.
Seems that ö is not supported by default. I can change it manually to make the link work.

Same here on a Mac. The link results in an Internal Server Error.
Will go back to previous version…
