[C4D] I need help! / Transparent material not behaving correctly with alpha

« on: 2021-02-16, 22:40:59 »

Hey guys!
 
I'm trying to render a glass object on a transparent background. Unluckily I'm not able to keep reflections visible in the alpha.
Any ideas on how to keep them visible without rendering a reflection pass and composite it in after/photoshop?

[C4D] I need help! / Motion blur not working with animation

« on: 2021-02-02, 21:43:21 »

Hello guys

I'm trying to render motion blur of some animated spheres that build a bigger one using metaballs. Since the animation is pretty heavy I decided to bake an alembic file.
This alembic unluckily isn't working with motion blur, as you can see in attached image the blue spheres are alembic object moving (all sphere going to the center) while the red sphere is just a normal sphere animated; motion blur works on the red one.
How could I fix this?

Hello guys!
I would like to share with you my latest personal project. I did it for fun to test some quixel megascans and to get used with the new physical material of Corona 7.
I used Quixel suite, C4D, Photoshop and last but not least Corona.

If you wanna enjoy all images and some crops you can check the Behance project here:

[C4D] I need help! / Material behaviour changes without any apparent reason

« on: 2020-12-18, 23:08:43 »

Hello guys,

I was going to render an animation I'm working on but after few frames I noticed that something was wrong. The behaviour of the plastic and liquid material (image attached) are completely different from my tests!!!
I can't understand what happened, I just added render passes and tweaked some animation curves before rendering the whole thing.
I'm using a volume scattering for both plastic and liquid.
On the left is the image as it should be, on the right is how it renders at the moment.

Gallery / Ted Baker watches animation

« on: 2020-11-04, 10:03:36 »

Hello guys!
Here I show you two animations done at the beginning of 2020 for Ted Baker brand, featuring 2 watches of their 2020FW collection.
Videos were rendered using Corona and C4D, pretty fast renders on a threadripper 3960x. Heaviest frames took about 2.5 minutes to render and fastest frames less then 1 minute.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Interactive Render Region unusable with Corona 5

« on: 2020-02-06, 12:00:36 »

Hello guys,

after lot of weeks using Corona 5 I have to say that the interactive render region is unusable and buggy. Almost every time I use cinema freezes and I am forced to kill the process.
I'm using Hotfix2 at the moment.

[C4D] I need help! / Bloom and Glare render pass

« on: 2020-01-22, 12:51:41 »

Hey guys,

I need to render an animation and I have to separate the bloom and glare pass from the beauty pass, to manage intensity in post production.
The b & g pass is rendered properly but the beauty pass still has bloom and glare in it. How could I keep the beauty pass without bloom and glare? Do I have to mix mutliple passes?

[C4D] I need help! / How to use Zdepth in Cinema4d?

« on: 2020-01-20, 17:56:24 »

Hey guys, I can't figure out how to setup zdepth pass correctly and i can't find documentation about it.
I have my zdepth pass in the multipass tab, I set the minimum and maximum z depth according to my camera settings but I do get complete black zdepth pass.
Any quick tutorial on how to set this up correctly?

[C4D] I need help! / Animation Flickering

« on: 2019-11-22, 10:42:47 »

Hello guys,

I'm creating an animation with Corona 4 Hotfix 3 and I'm experiencing a flickering problem.

In the linked video you can see the issue on the top right metal plate object.
I've set the GI to UHD Cache and the preset to "animation flicker-free", about 30 passes and AI denoiser set to 0.7.
Should I increase the number of passes to solve this issue?

thank you guys

[C4D] I need help! / Hide light reflecting in certain objects?

« on: 2019-09-11, 16:35:31 »

Hello guys!

Is it possible to hide a light reflecting just in some object in the scene?
Like in the attached image, is it possible to show light reflection just on sphere and not on the plane?

[C4D] I need help! / Anisotropic rotation material?

« on: 2019-07-04, 11:07:50 »

Hello guys,

I know this is a pretty noob question but I can't setup an anisotropy material like the one attached.
What kind of texture should I use?

Thank you!

[C4D] I need help! / Saving multiple passes in a single file?

« on: 2019-06-18, 16:15:09 »

Hey guys,

I noticed that doin "save all" from the vfb saves multiple passes in separate images. Is it possible to save all passes as layers in a single psd/tiff file?
