Hello,
I am looking for other and better material previews for Cor3forC4D.
I do know this from VrayforC4D. There I could download Vray material previews.
Please can you help?
Regards
F.

I'm sorry but what the poo are you expecting? Should everyone just drop everything and cater to thee? Ugh...

Anyway, I'm personally not exactly sure what you want, it kind of sounds like you'd like to have a custom material preview? If that is the case -

Thank you a lot.
It seems to me, that ist only works fine with C4D native materials and not Corona or other renderer.
With right click on the Corona material, there you can see the list with different projections.
Most of these previews are too small and I always have to popup a new window to see that texture larger, although it is the largest size.
Image I1 is what you can see now, and I2 is what I would like to have

It does work very well with CRN materials.

Just open a scene from the mat preview folder and change it as you desire. Sometimes you might need to enable the checkbox to use the original scene.

It should also be mentioned that the scene works better if you changed the preview scenes render settings to CRN and adjust the lights accordingly so that the scene won't be too dark/bright.

BTW - > click

I've asked the french C4D forum (I'm french) because it's very confusing between C4D mats and corona mats with C4D R20.

Look at : \resource\modules\xtensions\preview_scenes

But you can't modify this folder easily. You must copy the folder, rename it, open each file and "save as", rename with the right name, destroy the original folder and place the new.
