UPDATE: I put in the Diffuse channel with a triplanar and it seems to do the trick.

[C4D] I need help! / Decoding an Octane file for Corona

« on: 2024-08-05, 07:21:37 »

Hi there. I've been handed a file with an Octane to recreate in Corona. It seems simple enough but I'm stuck as I've never used Octane. There's a single material stuck on the Specular channel of the Octane material. But where do I put that on my Corona setup? And can I do a similar texture projection to Octane?

Is setting the cloner to Instance the only change you did?
Mine isn't behaving the same way.

Thanks for that tip. I can now see them in the picture viewer, but it isn't quite right. The sizes and quantity seem to be wrong.

[C4D] I need help! / Rendering Clone from a Matrix object

« on: 2024-02-27, 08:28:02 »

I have a scene where I am disintegrating an object with some mograph. I have a Cloner that is driven by a Matrix.
In Redshift I understand I can just render the Matrix with a Redshift tag so I don't need the cloner but with Corona I do, correct?
But with Corona I can't seem to get the clones to appear in my render. What's the trick?
Working file attached

Thanks for the workflow tip (and heads on carpaint tip). I knew that it would be possible by converting it, but wanted to avoid it if there was a better way — and it seems we will have to wait. Polygons Islands to Objects rings a bell. I'll have a watch. Thanks. I often use the TrueSpit object which is handy.

Is there a trick to have a decal object only apply to a certain selection? I have a car from the Cosmos Browser and I only want to apply the art to the paint sections. in the include/exclude it seems like you can only select objects. Is there another way, other than render twice and mask in photoshop?

I got SOMAT that I found useful. There are a few other packs on Gumroad, for car paint, metals etc but this pack is more varied.

[C4D] I need help! / Adding user data to Corona Materials?

« on: 2023-07-10, 08:48:33 »

Is there a way to add user data to Corona materials?
I've been watching this tutorial that makes use of Scene Nodes at the point linked below he links a black and white noise material to a Redshift 'Display Colour' so the colour matches the bw noise (I think I've butchered that explanation!) Is there a way of achieving a similar thing in Corona so the colour is mapped to the noise?

This is as far as I have got but I'm scratching my head as to what to do to with Corona material: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fa1k9mqoxxcwq1z/Torus%20nodes%20clones%201.c4d?dl=0

[C4D] I need help! / understanding Save "Compositing Project File"

« on: 2023-06-26, 21:48:16 »

Hi there. I'm about to export an image sequence for AE with an alpha channel. Normally I just export TIFs. What is the difference between checking the Alpha Channel, Straight Alpha and Separate Alpha?

Today I noticed that under the Corona Save is a Compositing Project File section. Can someone explain what this bit does. I tried looking it up in the Help but didn't find anything.

Thanks

I always use denoising. But I will look at specifying passes instead as there are some frames in the middle of the animation that take double the time, which is probably to do with my noise specification.
Thanks for the tip.

I'll remove the SSS on all but the rubber elements next time round.

What do you mean by 'lower the MSI to 1'? Where is this?
