Did a little 2025 project on my m1 MacBook Air M1 from 2020. 16Gb.
Tried to do something similar with Redshift but Redshift seemed unresponsive most of the time so I gave up.
All modeled in C4D with only Cosmos assets, no postprocessing just straight from CR.
I am surprised to see CR not crashing once, with IR on most of the time and at final renders even though it swapped about 2Gb memory. Rendering on a MacBook Air M1 without a ventilator hardly getting warm.
A huge advantage of C4D/Coronarender is being able to do work like this on a cheap lightweight laptop still for sale well under a 800€ or new for a few hundred euro more. The file has decals, C4D/2025 booleans, lots of Corona-scatters and proxies for the trees and displacement for the landscape and concrete and is rendered at 3600x3600.
