[C4D] General Discussion / Re: can no longer find the "delete duplicate materials" script

« on: 2024-10-23, 01:01:54 »

That's exactly what I was looking for. It's a great script for Maxtree assets. Maxtree has done their plants with rather smart materials with all their versions of the same plant using the same materials. But when you open the assets you still get all the same materials loaded. They don't delete well with the C4D delete duplicate.

Thanks !

Yes John, that's the one. Any idea how I could get it again. Did you post it before.
It was written by a users. I accidentally deleted it when I wiped out my harddisk to install a new system.

[C4D] General Discussion / can no longer find the "delete duplicate materials" script

« on: 2024-10-18, 23:30:52 »

Hi,
There was someone here at the forum who had a small script that deletes all duplicate materials. Very handy when working with Maxtree trees and plants and when using the C4D asset browser.

I lost the script when reinstalling my system so maybe someone still has it. I did a search but could not find it.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Chaos Cosmos does not work OSX 15.0, CR12 hf2, C4D 2025.0.1

« on: 2024-10-16, 23:26:34 »

The attachments show the OSX installs that currently work on my MacBook m1 and Mac Studio m1 incl. Cosmos.
Any Cosmos update after CR12 hf 2 breaks loading Cosmos.

So it can not be the latest OSX 15 or C4D 2025. It must be CR, the daily build 13 or an updated Cosmos after hot fix 2 that is the problem. I won't update CR and Cosmos anymore unless there is a statement on a solution.

At least I can work with official release of Coronarender & the latest C4D 2025 and OSX15 which is a step forward.

Thanks.
I have this issue with the updates Cosmos wants me to install. If I just stick to CR12 with hf2 all is fine.
I will no longer update Cosmos hoping that stuff gets fixed before an official release of CR13.

When that happens and I experience bugs again I will surely submit a support ticket.
I can only hope Chaos will provide a more robust and professional service through C4D's asset browser sooner than later.

Tried it again today. After updating clicking update in the Cosmos window, Cosmos went to a window stating the service is not running.
Deleting everything Cosmos and reinstalling Cosmos did not work either. A complete uninstall of Corona render and a complete install of CR12 hf2 as downloaded from the site and Cosmos came back again.

Mac OS 15.0.1 (24A348)
C4D 25.0.2
CR12 hf2 works. CR12hf2 and update Cosmos at oct. 14 2024 leaves Cosmos not running the service.

Chaos Cosmos back off. I had all working as described above but just clicked update in Cosmos and got an error window stating the service is not running.

Downloaded CR 12 hf2 and got it back on.
I am done with the daily builds. Cosmos is taking all the fun out of testing/working with these daily builds.

Cosmos back on !
I completely reinstalled my MacBook m1, new system all erased.
I got C4D 2025.02, CR 13 aug.28 2024 and OSX 15.0.1 running now, all new installed.

Whole process took me about 3 hours. But Cosmos works now again and everything seems fine.
C4D 2025 starts up now with a standard scene file logo with Redshift settings, camera and so on. Never knew before you could set a standard scene file. So I made my own with Coronarender settings. Such a relief  I don't need to set all to Corona each time start something new.

I have no idea why my system corrupted Cosmos especially.  I played a little with Redshift but it was extremely slow compared to Corona on my MacBook. Corona IR is a lot more responsive than Redshift on CPU.

I make less. But don't see Max offered for something like 450 a year. I am in Holland though. Prices start here at around 2000€ a year.
Much rather have C4D/CR but would not be using either for 2k.

For example these two. Look at the incorrect r-values. Often the glossiness is off as well at 100% without a map.

The usual manual corrections I have to do are incorrect glossiness, incorrect r-value and too saturated colours  in case of people. These I correct with a gamma adjustment of 1.2. I have a feeling that the convertor is faulty. The CR scene convertor produces very low r-values I noticed.

[C4D] General Discussion / Can not import Cosmos assets in the C4D database, anybody ideas

« on: 2024-10-02, 12:05:38 »

I am trying to import the Cosmos assets in to the C4D database system. I got about 600 people models done now. Fairly easy process.

But I tried to put Cosmos Haworth assets in the database and only part of those assets import in C4D 's database.
I duplicate Corona Cosmos proxies to mesh before moving them to C4D database. But still.

I need to do this since the Cosmos browser has its moments and moods and I often get stuck before a deadline.  I would love to move Cosmos assets to a more robust location like the C4D assets browser.

Thanks Maru, for your quick reply. Appreciate it.
I had done all you mentioned before I went back to 12hot fix 1. Will try your instructions again later this week.

I have copied most relevant assets in to the C4D asset browser so I am ok for now. It is rather a lot of work though to do so but it's a lot more robust.

Well, I found an installer on my system for CR12 hf 1 and Cosmos is working again. So there is definatly something wrong with hot fix 2.
I really need to take a day off and try to download relevant assets from Cosmos so that I never have to install Cosmos again.

I accidentally updated Cosmos on my main system and now Cosmos also crashed here. I hope I can fix it returning to the previous Cosmos. Don't know yet where to find a previous Cosmos installer. I have a deadline tomorrow. What a mess.
