[C4D] Daily Builds / Mac M1 LOW POWER MODE bug lives on.

« on: 2022-10-24, 23:27:42 »

Few ppl here already reported this few releases ago and the bug lives on..

Very simple, on the macbook settings has an option to save battery called "Low power mode"

If you're not on low power mode the render speed drops to 600-750% (processors power), when you switch it on to Low power mode the processor's cores go full blast up to 900% ish speed.

It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have to use other apps that are very affected by the low power mode turned on

tested on lots of differente scenes,
it's not a Heat problem

I'm on Macbook pro 16 m1
tried on Cinema 4d r25,26 and 2023 latest version
Corona 9 final release

Hello,

I also tested and it does work but, the camera has to be so far out in order to see it, it's a bit strange

If it's not in the changelog (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=36221.msg203964#msg203964) likely nothing changed - sometimes something can be overlooked in the changelog but that is very rare, sorry.

I see, can we expect a fix for this? We haven't heard anything for the last 2 or 3 builds and now we're on RC1 and still no mentions about it.

Thx Tom!

I'm also getting interactive and final render crashes, if I change a setting ( anything)  and press render interactive render it crashes. I doesn't happen all the time but it happens

issues so far:

• Performance issues on M1 macbook pro, it drops to 50%  while in high power mode, when in lower power mode it comes back up.
• Latest build notice high usage of Kernel task taking up to 150% of the processors power.
• Specific on the latest build high Thermal throttling issues ( temp around 75c), went back to the build before and no issue.

Ref: Cinema 4d r26 latest
Macbook pro m1 16"
Monterey latest Build 12.6
Corona Build Aug 30th.

Yes, openning VFB before, helps.

And about LWF, it'works OK, just IV vs VFB show differently.

I have that problem for years

I haven't noticed that.
Mac Studio Ultra 128GB 20 core. R26 & v9 latest build.

I did notice that rendering a 2,8 Gb C4D file with a lot of vegetation ( large housing project with 4 highrise buildings) did not crash once the last week or so. A lot of Choas Scatter objects as well. Been doing lots of IR checking lighting and so on. I was actually surprised how solid the latest build is.

There is one thing though, the sliders in many settings don't work or are very slow. I often need to type percentages in CR settings for example in the post settings at rendering.

I have the same problem with sliders, specialy editing material colors. Are you having performance issues? On macbooks  I get render performance drop while rendering and when activate low power mode in the mac settings come back up, must be a macbook only issue.

Can be seen just in Activity monitor. Ironically - if energy setting in system preferences is set to Low Power it squeezes out the most CPU usage - setting to High Power drops it to 600-650%.

Definitely some kind of "algorithm" going on.

Philw is right.. I managed to get couple of screenshots one in low power mode and high power:

I dont believe it's temperature issue, mine never get above 80-85ish C.

All my renders are always with the mac plugged in "High power" most of the time the cpu runs full speed and out of nowhere it drops to 650 ~.

Seems like something triggers LOW/High power mode and thats when it drops.

Im on r26

I've been tracking scenes with my macbook m1 pro and I notice on the latest release vesion 8 hotfix 1 every now and then the cpu reach only 70% of it's power and it wont pass that, a fix for it is restarting the mac  but after awhile it caps at 70% again. With the latest daily it happens less frequently.

I found the thread describing the same problem:
