Hello! a 3d version of a painting by one of the masters of orientalism, Ludwig Deutsch, whom I love!
    translating it into 3d was a bit complex, because painting is a process which allows a lot of "cheating", which becomes obvious when it is in three dimensions...  Sculpted in zbrush, texture in substance, rendering, of course, in corona8...

[C4D] General Discussion / help!!!license

« on: 2022-08-06, 09:26:44 »

hello!  maybe I doesn't understand something, but Corona 8 , now, ask, each time I open it, a web connection to "activate license"... As I am in a mountain area, where the net is only poorly available via a cellular phone, very intermittent, it's a pain, to say the less, to work with Corona...I clearly need a way, once a web connection done to ensure the ok with the license fee, to get  a month without web connection!!! How to get that ???????????  thank you for helping!

[C4D] Daily Builds / shader curvature

« on: 2022-07-24, 15:43:24 »

Hello!! the "curvature" shader is an excellent tool, to simulate the worn edges of a mettalic object... really good!
  however, I can't figure out how to use it in the bump, to simulate the small thickness that there would be in reality, on these "worn" areas... thanks for your ideas!

[C4D] General Discussion / reflections

« on: 2022-07-07, 19:18:51 »

hello! i have a red plate, very reflective, but as it is a plate, it has no readable reflections; putting a lamp, it reflects, but it's a bit "poor"...; is there a way to introduce an image in the shader, only to create a more complex reflection? i tried in the ior channel, but it doesn't give anything... thanks for your suggestions!!!

« on: 2022-06-23, 18:43:41 »

hello! in importing materials, it has probably been deposited a hdr, or an environment, (uffizi etc), which affects the rendering, in the reflections, by being nowhere... where is it, and how to remove it???

[C4D] I need help! / probvleme installing corona

« on: 2022-01-28, 10:25:57 »

I had already had an impossibility to install corona on a machine, but as I had then changed computer, I had zapped the problem; now I would need to "reanimate" the old computer, and, with the installation of the 8, I find the problem intact: the installation window tells me that everything installs normally, I click "finish", but corona does not appear in the r20. ... is there a tutorial, instructions, to uninstall absolutely all components of corona, before reinstalling? thank you for your help!
