[C4D] I need help! / Chaos scatter straight trees on surface...

« on: 2022-04-07, 21:22:01 »

Hi Forum! Having a play with Chaos Scatter and like it a lot. I am testing it on a job I've just finished were I used mograph object to scatter trees. With mograph I can make all the trees face upwards or straight. I cant figure out how it's done with scatter. See the attached screen grab, looks weird with trees facing in weird directions.  How do i do this? Any help welcome :-) Thanks, John

[C4D] I need help! / Optimizing a complex venue for animation on render farm...

« on: 2022-01-04, 23:02:36 »

Hi Forum & Happy New Year All!

I have a venue which was only meant to be rendered as stills and it is very detailed. Now the client wants a animation done. It is dark with lots of lights. Is there a good way to set up Corona to render faster but with less detail to get the times per frames down? Is it best to reduce polys on all objects? They don't have a big budget for the project and I don't have a lot of experience rendering out a complex fly-through. Any advice would be such a help :-) Thank John

[C4D] I need help! / Should I use Corona Bitmap for all my material maps?

« on: 2021-12-09, 21:46:05 »

Hi Forum!

I have a question. Until now every time I have created textures I have always just gone to the texture and loaded in my bitmap standard way (I do use PSDs). Last night I was reading about Corona Bitmap which I realize gives you much more control. Should I use this for all my texture imports in the future? Does it render faster as well? My gut feeling is I should. Love to hear your feedback on this :-) John

[C4D] General Discussion / Team Render with old iMac 2011...

« on: 2021-10-17, 21:03:54 »

Hi Corona Forum!

Hope you have all had a good weekend. I have a old iMac 27" i7 with 18GB Ram. I have C4D R23 TR installed on it and tried to install the latest Corona on it but needs OSX 10.14. I's only got 10.13. Can I use another version of Corona on it to be able to use it as a render node? Thanks, John :-)

[C4D] I need help! / Trying to understand the correct use of the new Physically Based Materials...

« on: 2021-10-09, 23:42:02 »

Hi Forum!

Hope you are all well. I am trying to understand how I use the new Physical textures. I use Pixplant 5 to extract all my info which outputs base colour, metalness, roughness, displacement, normal and ao. As there is no specular anymore, do I use the metalness for specular? Should I use metalness for wood? Is there a good C4D Corona tutorial on PBR workflow? Many thanks and have a good weekend all :-) John

[C4D] I need help! / Should I use NVIDIA GPU Denoise mode for Render Farm Animations...

« on: 2021-07-10, 09:22:49 »

Hi Forum and Happy Weeeekend All!

I have only lately started using the NVIDIA GPU Denoiser and it seems faster than the standard. Is it ok to use this on Render Farms or should I stick with the normal Corona denoiser? Many Thanks and have a good weekend :-) John

Hi Support,

Since yesterday I have been getting a error message every time I do a interactive render. Not when I do a final render. No panic but annoying having it pop up all the time. Is there a easy way to fix this? Many thanks, John :-)
