[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Mac - Installation failed message

« on: 2022-10-21, 10:51:48 »

I'm on the latest C4d on Mac and after installing Corona v9 I got the message that the install failed. But everything looks like it succeeded, v9 works. I got the same message when installing the previous daily build of v9.

Thanks @Philw for replying both here and in the Redshift Forum.

What is everyone's experience with noise? I expected it to be completely quiet. Maybe the reviewers exaggerated the quietness. I can hear the air blowing when the room is very quiet.
I also hear a slight high pitched humming like when an old HDD would start and wind up, but not that loud. I can hear It when I put my ear close to the exhaust of the Studio.
Here's a recording: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7oaemgssvvhvdu/Studio%20Ultra%20fan%20noise.m4a?dl=0
The hissing in the beginning is just background noise picked up by the microphone that I don't even hear. Computer wakes at around 5s.
I made it with the iPhone microphone set on the desk right behind the computer. The two louder clicks are my mouse waking the computer and putting it back to sleep. Makes it feel louder than it actually is.
The high pitched sound is audible with the ear right to the back of the computer. But when I work at night and it's really quiet I can hear it slightly from about 1m away.
The air exhaust sound is not bothering me, but this squeak is.

@frv maybe you have some experience with this?

My 2019 MBP is very loud but it only blows air, it doesn't hum. And I can't compare it to a PC.

OK, I finally got my Mac Studio yesterday (maxed out, except for the 2tb ssd). Going to install Corona now. Are there any settings that you guys would recommend for c4d? Like for example to disable cpu+gpu rendering? Is that a thing that Corona/C4D would do by default? My work is less visualisation and more artistic so I'm also not familiar with all the samples or percents or noise levels you guys are talking about. I just render 20 passes or so until the render looks good. Any tips?

Does anyone remember where was the info on ssd speeds for the Mac Studio?
I seem to remember that the 4tb version is much faster. But by how much?

Does anyone use the Mac Studio yet with Corona?
Really curious how it performs.

Where can we find some detailed information about it?

I was watching this redshift tutorial on youtube and that's a great result at the end of the video.

I'd like to achieve something like that in Corona.

I saw this popping up from time to time but the solutions seem deprecated.
Can anyone please help me with an Iridescent material in C4d?
It can be easily done in Redshift without any textures. Is there really no modern solution in Corona, since this is really the renderer I prefer?

Edit: sorry for posting in the wrong thread

Op, did you make this material public anywhere?
I'd love to learn from how it was made.

[C4D] I need help! / Re: Default light intensity too high?

« on: 2021-07-05, 14:44:01 »

Thanks, that makes sense now.
Related question - I can't seem to be able to control the exposure using ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture in the camera settings. If I change the F-stop I can see it affects the dof. But these settings don't affect the exposure at all. What am I missing? :)

[C4D] I need help! / Default light intensity too high?

« on: 2021-07-05, 14:29:38 »

What would be a normal workflow to set light intensity values?
If I create a Corona Sky and render it with an intensity of 1 it's way too bright. The whole image is white. If I add a sun to create some shadows, even more so. They both need a value of 0.05 or so. The same goes for a 3-light setup with the default intensity of 50. Way too bright.
How do you guys work?

[C4D] Daily Builds / V7 RC2 - "Added atmospheric shader"- where and what is it?

« on: 2021-07-04, 22:38:11 »

Where is the new shader and what does it do?
I see a new shader called "Sky". Are they one and the same?
Some info on how these shaders work or what they're for would be very useful. Might be too soon to ask for this since they've just been implemented.
I find that in general I can't find the info I want on what various settings do. The small question marks in the panels don't link anywhere.

any other solution for getting that effect with good quality and full IR compatibility?

In this redshift tutorial, at 3:48 they're making a light with a texture on it so that it projects the texture on the background wall. How would we go about getting this effect in Corona?
