[C4D] Bug Reporting / Background and Tone mapping

« Last post by masterzone on Today at 16:01:01 »

Hello to all, I found another annoying issue about ToneMap control shaders applied to a physical material to the background...
Below what happen with and without tone map control into the material...(without tone map you need to adjust camera exposure settings)

here the c4d scene: www.c4dzone.com/clienti/altro/test.zip

Latest C4D and corona render

[EDIT] seems to be the "ACES" that give this strange square splotch on the background...if you disable it the problem is gone...

[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: C4D scenes dont open with new Daily Build from Corona 12 March 11.

« Last post by frv on Today at 15:46:53 »

Problems with the asset browser ? I have stopped using the C4D asset browser.  Maxon has made an overly complicated mess of the asset browser.
Example, I use Maxtree vegetation. For each placed Magnolia tree from the asset browser which has the same Magnolia CR material for all different Magnolia trees, C4D will still generate a new material slowing down everything.
My own libraries are much better organised than what I can do in C4D's browser with less effort without having to duplicate asset files in C4D asset libraries.
Chaos Cosmos works fine though which for me has become one of the reasons to stick with Corona for now.

I am sure the file loading problem will be solved soon as well. After which I will use the latest build for production again.
Maybe best not to spend too much time on solving issues with daily builds. That's work for Chaos.

hello frv,
you are right that they are there for testing purposes. we lost a lot of time clearing up the problem and the error with the asset browser because we didn't know that this error existed.

i have already reported the problem several times and always tested the latest versions. i just can't listen to this “can you send us a test scene” anymore, because i have already been in active exchange with the corona team and it should be clear by now how the errors can be reproduced.




this was my last mail from march to corona team as an example

Tasty stuff indeed! BTW the link to Behance doesn't work, looks like the truncated part (with the '...') is in the link and not just in the display text.

Thank you Tom, link updated.

[Max] I need help! / Re: can i know why the light reflection is not consistent

« Last post by TomG on Today at 13:57:30 »

Would probably need to see the scene as would need to know the materials, the geometry, and other values in the scene set up (such as DOF). You can always send it in via ticket at https://support.chaos.com/requests/new.

If you don't want to do that, the only other way would be wiregrabs, screengrabs of all materials involved, of render settings, and of camera settings, which would be a lot of work for you :)

I have prepared a file that does not open in CR12 current build, at least I did not wait for it. With CR 11 it opens instantly.
I will send a PM with the link. Let me know when you got it Benjamin.

I saved the file with assets and tested it on my Mac Studio. With build 11 all is fine, current build 12 not so much.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / crash after rendering a lot of passes

« Last post by frv on Today at 11:39:58 »

Hi,
I often have a crash after rendering for a long time, hours or days with passes exceeding 500 or more.
See attachment for a crashreport.
In this case the rendering was great but could not be saved. Wireless keyboard and mouse became unresponsive and had to connected them with wire to find my way back to the finder. Cinema4D kept rendering (activity monitor) but without any response for the menu's so I could not save the file and had to force quit.

Also, after any CR render C4D crashes at quitting the app. It does not matter much but still.

C4D 2024.4.0 and Corona render 11 hot fix 2
Mac Studio OSX 14.4.1
128Gb about 80Gb used at render.
