it happened only when the mac is inactive for me.
I can render 300+ passes without crash if i move the mouse. But if the mac is in sleep mode it crash after some passes ..
Happened to me very often.
C4D freeze after a couple of passes, like 35 40 ...

Yes, I do have a hard time understanding what your problem is. You're the only one with that problem.
From your last post, I'm not even sure what you mean.
So your botched workflow with normals doesn't work anymore because the normal shader works as it should?
Maybe there were changes, or maybe not? How could we find out?
Maybe one could consult the wise man on the mountain or read the patchlogs! But instead, you meander around on the forum.
Just do it properly from now on and you won't have any problems.
The normal maps work fine. burnin and he previous posters already said everything.
A while ago, in your thread, we have "found out" that Corona uses DX maps(flip Y), but you refused to accept that things are handled differently.I'm sorry but I made other test, with other normal map and using your method of swapping red or green or both... the result is similar but the corona normal shader don't work well for me, and the results is not equal to the one gives other engine.... the only way to obtain the exact result is using a leveled material as I posted in my scene, and not changing the normal color... OpenGL or direct X I expect that a map, work fine in any engine render... that's my opinion...
Your expectations of how things ought to be don't matter nor will things change according to them. Just accept it and advance. Do it properly in the future and spare us and yourself the hassle. If you are too lazy to make a small change to your old materials(in case you even need them), then that's your problem.

IMHO, your example shows "How Normal Maps should NOT be handled".
Well I'm sorry if I am repeating myself but if the only thing that is bothering you is the "missing texture" icon then you can safely ignore it. It works.
For the facets, that happens when you have a really rough / strong normal plugged in so if you hit render in your scene you'll probably see the polygons on that sphere. That is "normal" for Corona and you'll need to adjust the strength value to an earthly value :)
Initially I thought you were experiencing shading errors that offset your texture / create other shading problems. That said, when I opened your file I did notice that your normal map is too strong and it creates a faceted look on the sphere. You'll probably need to tone that down.
Does it happen even if your normal strength is set to something low like 1%?
The missing icon is "OK" because afaik the devs haven't fixed it yet. It works but its showing up like a missing texture right now. Don't worry about that one.
strange question mark in bump channel with normal map... look at the picture and the example scene posted... cinema 4d r19 OS X yosemite...
Your normal map appears to be super strong and it is probably creating those shading problems. Try toning it down to see if it helps :)
Works also on R19(win).
Is it something specific like reflection that you're having problems with?
Also when the scene is complex with multiple lights, the bounced light still hits the excluded object and it might look as if nothing changed.
