Have you tried the 4K Cache instead? Generally it's better and faster in most cases.

No credits required at all. You can use it right now, entirely for free. Just follow the steps in the video to upload your files, and try it out and make use of it for yourself :)

Virtual Tours (and collaboration in general, for sharing images and having a discussion with your client) are free. Credits only come into play if you are doing Cloud Rendering, which is not supported by Corona.

And you (or your client) can embed them on a web page too :)

And it is in Pending now (though this does not always happen as fast, can even be a few days or a week before things on Aha get reviewed and moved out of New - if you are the person who posted the idea, it should notify you of the status change, so you know to promote it on the forum only after that, to save user frustration :) )

Remember that people can't vote until an Idea moves out of New into Pending (or some other status). Before then, it just comes up as not found :)

The inbuilt, included, send directly to it, Chaos Cloud Collaboration. It has support for Virtual Tours
https://docs.chaos.com/display/VCLOUD/Chaos+Cloud+Collaboration

(for Max)

(for C4D)

Those show how to use manual set up of hotspots, but in any daily build newer than https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=43295.msg231652#msg231652 (Max - coming soon in a daily for Cinema 4D) you can take advantage of the automatic hotspot generation.

Users won't be able to vote until it is made live. And I can't make it live because each one should be a separate feature request (because say we decide to do 2 out of the 4, there is no way to reflect that status on the Portal with all four suggestions being in one). While an inconvenience I know, could you resubmit those as separate suggestions? Thanks!

There will always be some great ideas that never get realized, just the nature of development that not everything can be done, unfortunately.

Something like ICC profiles is very likely to be done though, so definitely worth voting for it over there and further increasing its priority. And getting a hold of a developer in stack or forum would not get things done - as all prioritization is a team effort when we all get together to decide what will happen in the next release, and that's where ideas from the portal are considered. An individual developer will not be able to do anything themselves as it takes that group review (and a request sent to an individual dev, or to me, is likely to go astray and be forgotten when it comes time to do this review - while the Ideas Portal is a permanent record so things can't be lost). For that reason, contacting anyone directly will also give the "Oh, that's not a bad idea - put it on the Ideas Portal please so it doesn't get lost!" answer anyway :)

Long story short, the Ideas Portal IS where the idea reaches the right person/developer. Thanks!

Should work on that card, https://www.openimagedenoise.org/ - needs RDNA 2 or 3, which the card has, and so long as you are on the latest drivers it should be fine according to that Intel Denoiser requirements page. I'd send in a ticket, https://support.chaos.com/requests/new .

I don't recall it ever being said that we would not develop ICC profiles - especially not since the implementation of color management in C4D and Max in the last year or so. There's an Ideas Portal entry for it, that folks can vote on, to express your desire for this to be done :) https://chaos.aha.io/ideas/ideas/CMAX-I-152

It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to roll out a final release with compatibility (which appears first in daily builds for testing, of course). Right now that ought to be with Corona 12 Update 2 since that was due around then anyway, but if that gets pushed back for non-development reasons, Max 2026 compatibility will be in a hotfix around the same date to save further waiting. Shouldn't be long before the daily is out though (since we have to have Release Candidates for Update 2 pretty darn soon :) )

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Node Editor Functionality

« on: 2025-03-24, 12:22:36 »

Doesn't the native node editor in C4D do that? The fact that it is a canvas for many different materials at once is one of the distinguishing strengths of the Corona Node Editor :) Anyway, this would be a feature request if the native C4D node editor doesn't fit the bill (which it might), and if so please post on the Ideas Portal which is the place to submit feature requests these days, over at https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ - thanks!
