That worked! but it should display right out of the box right?.

It does not help, it stays pure white

[C4D] Daily Builds / HDRI from Cosmos come as Plain White IMG
« on: 2023-02-16, 20:35:20 »
Hello,
Noticed this bug in the last 2 daily releases v10s.
I download a HDRI from the cosmo browser and it comes as plain white exr, I tried changing the color profile values, intensity, gamma and nothing happens.
I does work to import from local disk my own hdris, it loads up ok. One thing that is worth mention is that Studios HDRI downloaded from cosmo does work as expected.
I'm new to the windows platform and I share my account with a mac version which works ok. Maybe I'm doing something wrong , Idk.
Also having lots of crashes (closing the whole thing) while clicking to render, unfortunely it does not create any bug reports, even cinema doesn't even notice it crashed and doesn't warn anything to report. Also checked the folder for bug zip.
Info:
Latest Windows 11
Latest Cinema 2023.1.3
Latest corona Daily release.

[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: Mac M1 LOW POWER MODE bug lives on.
« on: 2023-02-10, 17:49:49 »Not sure if you are a long time Corona user or not rafaz, but you would need at least one extra render node for that to be an efficient workflow. If you have been with us from before Corona 8, you may have free render nodes already, but if not you would have to ensure you add one to your subscription. Just as a heads up!
Other than that it should work fine, you can use Team Render to send things over to another machine (or network of machines) for rendering.
i've been with corona since the early betas.
This is it right?

« on: 2023-02-10, 16:10:06 »I have done many tests and always the Mac Book Pro M1 Max was much slower than the iMac i9. Always the M1 Max rendered at an average of 750-800% and the iMac i9 at 950%. Apparently, the M1 with better ventilation do not have the %CPU drop problem... I have raised the Mac Book Pro from the work surface leaving the lower central space free and cool and the render times have improved... it takes 1 hour with an average of 950% CPU. I'm doing long-term render tests and I'm buying it with iMac i9 and it's starting to improve a lot in performance. A little below the M1 Max. When I carry out more tests I will be able to throw a percentage or comparative times. I hope I can shed some light on this matter because my workflow is mac and corona and I am so comfortable that I would not want to change it. From what I read, the mac studio does not have this performance drop and it seems to be a very powerful processor. I have the problem on an iMac M1 that I don't know what I can do to improve its cooling or CPU performance. Thanks to all users and the corona team. Thank you for bringing this wonderful rendering engine to mac. A greeting from Spain.
I have my macbook pro on a notebook stand with coolers on the botton and makes no diference.
I'm starting to build a PC :( and will be using it as a render server. Anyone here use this kind of setup, how's the workflow? I'd like to model on mac and render on the PC

Botton line is....
The corona team Don't know how to optimize the render to M1 processors and are the're giving up on trying.
Now what is over the board is you guys trying to blame the system for the lack of knowledge on the matter. I would totally agree if all other softwares like c4d physical and standart render or even blender would cause the same problem but they don't. They took the time to learn and optimize the software as we go and still working on it.
"As software developers, we have no control over the underclocking which is done by the system. We cannot control it in any way."
Maybe you don't have to controll it, maybe just optimize to work it right. We know it's a low demand you guys won't spend the time to work on.
The thing is, further investigation does not seem necessary.
Right here says it all.
It's time to move on.

Just my 2c

ok,
So whats next step? Do you guys have an macbook m1 there so you can test and find the issue?

Here we go again,
Since the last test was with adaptivity ON I didn't test this time, I only tested with Adaptivity OFF
Low Power ON - 19:58 min
Low Power OFF - 22:47 min
Both with Adaptivity OFF
I Also add the graph once again to show how the Pertformance cores are very messy.

I did the test as you asked,
25 passes with ON and OFF low power mode
Results:
Low Power ON = 19:52 min
Low Power OFF = 21:45 min
Watching these 2 renders it's very clear that has something wrong on how corona use the cores? M1 pro is a 10 core cpu 2 Efficency and 8 Performance cores. therefore, if we take a look at the graphs i posted the 2 efficiency cores are taking the high load and the other 8 are like "thermal Throlling" going up and down, just to be clear they're acting like themal T. but they're not.. Like i said it starts with just few low minutes into the render right after pass 5 maybe that's the place to look at, what happenas after pass5 that causes the cpu to drop it's perfomance.
I hope this is very clear to have a better understanding.

I believe you got it all wrong and the test you saw it's not contrary what users are reporting...
"I can also clearly see in your video that:
with "low power" set to "never" the ray/s are lower than with "low power" set to "always". You get faster rendering with "low power" set to "never". It's contrary to what users are reporting in this thread."
A: Maybe because you watched 2-3 min of the video?
If you watch the video you're gonna notice that after PASS 5 it will drop the CPU usage ( Around 1:35 video time) to the 600%s.. and it will stay around 720% or less, after I Turn LOW POWER MODE ON (ALWAYS) it will go up to 850%++, it would go higher but recording the screen will take a chunk of the cpu.. Like I said, the first 5 passes there's no problem at all, it keeps the cpu usage @ 950% and thats how it should be the whole render, C4d Physical does that for hours and does not thermal throttle.
Like I said, the CPU model is M1 Pro, I have attached the print

Hello, and thx for you response Maru,
I took the time to do few tests to show you guys what a come up with,
I did 3 renders as show on the pic,
1 - Physical render from C4d
2- Corona - Low power off
3- Corona - Low power On
With these results we can assure that Thermal is not the issue here, I had 0 problems with physical stock render on c4d. But when we start using corona you can see the graphs all messy when low power mode is off and it gets a little better when it's on. Usually after pass 5 is when the speed start to drop. Even with higher temps on Physical it kept stable all the way towards the end.
I have zero knowledge on programing but the results sure show us something is off on how corona is using the cores, it uses the Efficiency cores at full blast and the performance cores are all messy.
I Also did record the screen and you can see the difference with low power on and off.
I'll try to do test you asked for to see the differences.

Macbook pro 16" - M1 Pro
