[C4D] Daily Builds / Vantage live link only parially working (list)

« on: 2025-06-16, 13:34:33 »

HI,

that live link is added with animation si great.

i installed v13 but i cant get live link to fully work for now:

1) camera is wrong, it ignores the x,y shift in c4d cam settings(essential for archviz)
2) hdri BG sky missing(i use a sky +hdri mix
3) luts etc are not transferred
4) many materials are missing, not sure why(bitmap textures), it seems mostly if we use the "mix" slider in the materials texture slot, also a very important feature used all time in arch.

5) it is terribly slow, i almost cant move any thing, not in c4d or in vantage once live link is on.
i have a 4090, on other software the same scene is super fast once exported. the scene itself works fine in c4d only(not vantage live link)

when i find more issues i post here

[C4D] Bug Reporting / IPR rerenders with any tonemapping setting changed-stil in v12update2

« on: 2025-05-22, 15:31:47 »

since several version we have this problem, also reported by others and me.

it is still here in any of my porjects. changing anything of the tonemapping in vfb2 or old vfb initiates the uipr render to start from fresh.
thats not the idea of an IPR (change white balnace, chnage expoosre, contrast, highlight burn usw--all time the render restarts rendering from zero,...(even parsing again)

PLEASE try to fix that. it makes work really hard in corona atm

thanks
Stefan

[C4D] General Discussion / Gaussian Splatting?

« on: 2025-03-06, 10:49:24 »

Hi

as for soem reason i seem not to be able to post in feature suggestion section, i put it here:

Gaussian splatting support like in Vray would be very welcome. as Corona is used widely for archviz, GS would be a helpfull addition

thanks!

[C4D] Bug Reporting / corona sky+hdri -->> c4d freezes whenb doinf "save with assets"

« on: 2025-02-04, 15:49:57 »

Hi guys

as the titel says, absolute reproducable here in my files:

when i have a bigger scene(real world size) and i have one or more corona sky objects with hdri images in the texture slot loaded, c4d freezes if i do a save with asstes or use the c4d project asset inspector and change paths to absolute or reverse from absolute to relative(localize), if i eclude the sky from any of this operations in the inspector all works ok

[C4D] General Discussion / Envision support

« on: 2024-12-06, 18:21:44 »

Hi Guys,

i test the beta from Envision which might be pretty interesting. it stated corona 12.1 supports it, but when i export a scene i get several instance errors and missing geometry therefore in the exported render. windows etc missing (c4dinstances and cloners)

i am aware it is a beta but want to report it right away.
the same vrscene file opens ok in vantage.
but it has the same missing elements whebn i open the vrscne in the vrscene loader in vray c4d.

so it seems the vrscene from corona is yet ok with vantage but not with Envision(or vray), just to report.

also i see that many materials from corona exported cannot be edited in Envision (same work, some not, i haven yte found the system behind)
some materials also export wrong from corona to vantage as well as to Envision, in special if a texture slot uses the mix slider value other than 100% (which we use all time)

i hope this helps the developer to ensure a perfect Envision supportand imrpoved Vantage support

[C4D] General Discussion / new corona Vantage support /export and render anim option?

« on: 2024-11-19, 23:51:35 »

Hi
love the new live link and faster export to Vantage! thanks a lot for that:)

one Questions, the point "export and render" as in max isnt yet available right?
(i tried to render an animation fromc4d corona to Vantage)

in max beta it is there, will it come to v13 c4d too? as even live link works now, i hoped this might be possible to add too:)?

[C4D] Daily Builds / bitmap with color correction often gets yellow in IPR

« on: 2024-11-17, 11:04:11 »

when we have a bitmap in a color correction shader, in like the base color channel often when i set the texture multiplier, the IPR render turns into plain yellow. i can only refresh it to get ok again in changing a value inside the color correction.

it seems it looses somehow the connection to the color correction shader when the texture multiplier slider is used
(which we need all the time, we often set values less than 100% to mix a bitmap over a color, which is a great feature)

hope this can be fixed for v13 release, the problem was also in v12, maybe even 11 by the way

[C4D] Daily Builds / IPR refresh often at change of tonemappng paramaters

« on: 2024-11-17, 10:51:04 »

as titile says,
in 13 daily i often see that the full ipr refreshes, even if i only change a tonemapping operator in vfb,  like white balance, exposure, acis or lut settings etc.

hop that can be fixed for release

[C4D] Daily Builds / 100% cpu in IPR usage in daily?

« on: 2024-11-09, 01:31:43 »

for some reason i get often 100% cpu usage in IPR render, even though i set the IPR to not use all threads.

any idea?
this is new for me, i use latest v13 daily

this means i can hardly edit any while IPR is running

thanks
for info/help

[C4D] I need help! / export to vantage crashes all time

« on: 2024-11-01, 23:50:38 »

Hi
i have a scene which i wanted to render in vantage, but i cannot export it, the direct open in vantage command as well as the corona vrscene export crash c4d at around 75 % of the export.

any idea on what i can look? i use the latest v13 daily from yesterday.
are there any known crash points?

the scene has a lot of geom but nothing vantage should not be able to use (vray export seems normally ok on such big scenes)

thanks for tips and help!
