I think AI-enhancing LightMix makes perfect sense so I have logged it as (Report ID=CMAX-1724).

Sorry, but we don't have a solution yet.

The new report will be handled in support ticket #389572.

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Chaos Scans in Cosmos / C4D Mac / where are bump and displacement maps ?

« on: Yesterday at 14:07:28 »

None of the Scans materials will have bump, displacement, opacity, or any other kind of texture maps. Scans are not classic PBR material packs with textures. See: https://docs.chaos.com/display/VRSCANS/Technical+FAQ

If you mean something else, for example if you are unable to add custom bump or displacement to your Scans, please let us know and explain what exactly you are trying to do.

[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: Vantage live link only parially working (list)

« on: Yesterday at 13:56:08 »

Hi,

1) camera is wrong, it ignores the x,y shift in c4d cam settings(essential for archviz)

This is now reported (Report ID=CC4D-1036). Hopefully we can get support for it soon.

2) hdri BG sky missing(i use a sky +hdri mix

It seems to be working fine here. Could you please drop a sample scene at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

3) luts etc are not transferred

There are some known limitations to post-processing/tonemapping. Hopefully some improvements are possible.

4) many materials are missing, not sure why(bitmap textures), it seems mostly if we use the "mix" slider in the materials texture slot, also a very important feature used all time in arch.

I couldn't reproduce it. Can you also send us an example of this at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

5) it is terribly slow, i almost cant move any thing, not in c4d or in vantage once live link is on.
i have a 4090, on other software the same scene is super fast once exported. the scene itself works fine in c4d only(not vantage live link)

I guess it depends on the scene, but it shouldn't make things terribly slow. If you have a sample scene, please also upload it in a support ticket.

i cannot get displacement to work, any idea?

This worked fine in my test. Did you use a bitmap or a procedural shader?

is there AO working - similar as dirt does in vray connection?

Looks like Corona AO isn't supported at this time. I have reported it as (Report ID=CMAX-1720).

Keep 'em comin!

« on: 2025-06-18, 16:38:20 »

Does it only happen when using Deadline? Has it ever happened without Deadline?

The only thing I can recommend for now would be updating to Corona 12 or preferably 13.

Despite asking several times, the user carlwilliamsvisualisation has never contacted us at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new , so we don't have any updates. (or at least he hasn't contacted us using the email address he is using on the forum)

[Max] I need help! / Re: TileMap independent gap size?

« on: 2025-06-18, 16:16:11 »

Oh, I get it now. So basically what you would like is separate controls for gap width and height. (or vertical/horizontal)

How can I use it to extract my Lightmix element, which has lighting parameters from the other rendered elements?

Sorry, but I don't understand this part. Can you explain what exactly you would like to achieve?

« on: 2025-06-18, 15:34:55 »

You can use the custom pattern option and enter a crazy height value like 999.
