[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] 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!

Hello! in multipass renderings, the "virtual beauty" pass, by checking "no bloom no glare" is supposed to provide a version without the bloom effect; but very often, it is much darker than the "beauty", and is unusable... thanks for a solution!

I don't like to say this, I'm not usually a grouch, but this kind of problem, if it lasts, condemns a professional use of corona!

[C4D] General Discussion / changing material

« on: 2021-06-07, 16:10:31 »

Hello! probably due to a computer problem, because it affects one of my machines, not the others, the "passes" are not saved... Is there a quick way to change all the materials to a single neutral gray, without reflection, to have the mask passes calculated very quickly, the beauty pass being saved and ok?
