[C4D] General Discussion / Moving water surface of a pool

« on: 2025-03-05, 10:02:24 »

Hi Corona users!
I have a question for you. I'am starting to say that I'am a Cinema 4D user so all the solutions should be related to this software.
With the latest updates Corona is able to create wonderful caustics results but I would to level up these.
I often realize images with pools and watching reference images I see this amazing moving water effect. Do you have some advices to make it? Usually I use a deformer applied to a plane to moving the water and create the caustics but the result is homogenous. In this case I think that I have 2 ways to obtain the result:
1. Work on a texture;
2. Recreate the moving water with a fluid simulation software (I hope no..).

Some advices??
Thanks in advance to all that will have the time to read and answer.

[C4D] I need help! / Cinema4D Takes system + Corona Render + Render Queue + Tokens = ERROR

« on: 2024-02-07, 11:21:45 »

Hi, I have a very annoying problem that I still don't understand is related to Cinema 4d or Corona.

The Problem:
I’am on Corona 11 and Cinema 4D 2023.2.2 and MacOS 13.6.4 (22G513).
When I put many renderings in the render queue with the takes system, after the render time, it doesn’t save the image and show me an error: “Error – Saving Image”.
I use the tokens in the output file location like this:



I did few tests in these last days, and I discovered that with Cinema S24 version all is fine and it saves all the images.
Instead with the Cinema 4D 2024.2 same error of the 2023.2.2.

Some suggestions to fix the problem?
Thanks a lot to all

[C4D] General Discussion / Very very slow development of new version of Corona, why?

« on: 2023-05-16, 11:27:52 »

It will be my impression but I think that the development of Corona (cinema4d only or also max version?) has almost stopped for a few months now. I don't understand this stop, I follow and use corona development from alpha releases, it has never been as stopped as now.
In the Trello page I don't see any new exciting features only optimizations. Mh.
Sadness! :(

[C4D] I need help! / Render queue with unwanted render region

« on: 2020-02-04, 10:33:10 »

Hi, I usually use render region to test part of my scene but recently, I forget active regions, launch renderings in the queue and find myself with pieces of rendering after hours of rendering. Lately this thing happens to me often and it's really frustrating! Before putting the renders in the queue, is it possible to see if there are active regions? or as an alternative, Is it not possible to have in future versions a warning or something like that? Thanks

My first post in the forum! Pratice with light and materials. I use these awesome free models from Gumroad as subject of my tests.

Software used: Cinema 4D, Corona Renderer and Photoshop for color correction.
