Title: Corona render for Cinema 4d and Displacement map?
Post by: avre001 on 2020-11-17, 07:45:26

Real-time render for Cinema 4d does not work well with Displacement maps, if you make any change in this map, then the changes are not displayed in real time, you need to reload the render again. Is a fix for this error expected? And is support for the hardware capabilities of the Nvidia or AMD video card expected?

What, nobody knows?

It's not an error. It's the way displacement in IR works.

What do u mean about Nvidia or amd video card ?

Is it expected to support the processor of the video card itself? In particular, a video card chip from AMD? I work for iMac and I have an AMD Radeon video card, and I am wondering, should I expect such support?

https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=31559.0 same topic to thread I just posted, corona is a good engine but it's lacking a lot o stuff in terms of workflow, main reason it's not my main engine, good luck though.

No, you shouldn't. Corona does not use GPU for rendering. At the moment, the only thing that Corona uses GPU for, is real-time AI denoiser, but that's only applicable to Nvidia GPUs.

When will the video cards work? How long to wait?

There are no plans to implement GPU rendering at this time, so do not wait :) Hardware architecture for GPUs remains different which means it introduces limitations which means Corona wouldn't be Corona any more (as in, "it just works") - see https://corona-renderer.com/features/proudly-cpu-based

In this case, I will buy myself an NVidia video card and switch to another render. For me, time is an important criterion ...
And why am I just paying you ..?
