[Max] I need help! / Bottle

« on: 2016-07-05, 09:14:25 »

In physical engine when i want to make a bottle with a logo on it i just place a texture of glass first and on top of it i place the logo image with an alpha. I can see the glass material with reflections and refraction and the logo on top of it nicely.
I tried to do the same thing with corona but the alpha makes the glass material disappear and the bottle becomes completely invisible except for the logo.

Anyone knows what am i doing wrong?

Attachment 1 is what i get.
Attachment 2 is what i what.

Is there any way to make a 360 render/panorana in Corona?

Baking a reflective sphere doesn't seem to work.

[C4D] General Discussion / C4D Hanging & Crashing

« on: 2015-10-01, 04:01:10 »

I'm getting a problem with the new version.

It crashes alot, when using the IR, making new materials, placing old materials from the content browser etc.
Seems it crashes when corona is forced to do any type of render, IR or material previews with the thumbnails.
I removed all my plugins already and still crashes.

Is anyone else having this behaviour?

UPDATE: I might be wrong, but i removed arnold and pixelberg and now editing materials with corona is smooth as ever with a4.
I tested this for just 20 minutes but so far no crashes, dunno wich one is it or if both but maybe it can help someone else. Ill test more tomorrow cause it's late over here.

[C4D] General Discussion / Cinema 4D preview render

« on: 2015-05-16, 04:54:35 »

I was using with the plugin Magic Preview from Nitro4D with the last version of CoronaC4D, however with this update the plugin doesn't work at all.

Anyone else managed to get it to work? :/

[C4D] General Discussion / Corona C4D next release

« on: 2015-03-16, 10:51:41 »

I have been dabbling with Corona and C4D and for the past few days and i think this combination is as awesome as when i watched the Planeteers combining their powers to form Captain Planet.
My question is.. do you guys plan to launch a new alpha soon and before the official release?

Tho CoronaC4D does a good job but seems even more incomplete than 7.1 for max so it would be awesome if there would be a little upgrade on the alpha before the official release to avoid anxiety attacks eheh ;)

So what say you, your Royal Ponyness?

Cheers! :)

[Max] I need help! / Cinema 4D ColorMap

« on: 2015-03-05, 16:12:59 »

I couldn't find the ColorMap realtime settings like in 3dsmax, i imagined it was because C4D already has the filter tab on the Picture viewer wich does the same thing, however when i place a coronasun on my scene the filter reacts diferently. Everything is normal till i click the stop rendering button. The image becomes darker and weird. This only happens with a CoronaSun or a CoronaSky, if i place a Coronalight only the filter behaves normally and doesn't change to this darker image.

Pictures below to demonstrate this.
Simple render with basic textures, only with some color and default corona sky and sun, nothing else changed
Picture 1 is render as default, 2 is with filter on only with less exposure, 3 is when i stop the render with filter still on.

Anyone knows why this is happening?

Update: It seems this happens when the scene is way to bright, when i reduced the sky multiplier and sun intensity the filter doesn't change the image when i stop the render, however with C4D render engines, standard or physical this doesnt happen even if its way to bright.

I just started using C4D+ Corona so i don't know if i messed up on something (most probably eheh) and it's working as intended or it's a bug.
Whatever it is, i can now manage the filter properly this way.

Is there any tutorial about Corona materials or something like 'https://corona-renderer.com/doc/'  explaining each setting?
I have found one but google translator doesn't translate russian that well for me to understand it.
If anyone could point me to something of sorts i would be grateful.

[Max] I need help! / DRServer

« on: 2014-08-01, 10:01:12 »

Is it possible to render only on the slave machine like vray?
Corona doesn't seem to have that option on the DR options. Is there anyway to achieve that?

[Max] I need help! / Black Slots on Material Editor

« on: 2014-08-01, 04:58:30 »

Hi guys, i am learning 3ds max and found out Corona just a few days ago, it seems awesome and i want to try to learn more, however there is this problem with my corona slots on the material editor,the slots appear all black and i can't preview anything on them.

I already reinstalled everything, including max and it happened again. Am i missing something or is it a bug?

Screenshot provided for analysis.

Thanks in advance.
