[C4D] I need help! / Re: Scene Converter Details

Please don't overcomplicate the UI there!
Otherwise one will have to earn a degree from the Corona Academy to handle that.

Shall we now download 1000+ materials to prove that?

The two mentioned materials certainly do not work! ( Asset requires Vray or Vantage)
neither with Corona 11, nor with 12 daily.

To make this clear: They do download ( i.e. in the / Users/ ChaosCosmos folder) but not insert as materials !
maybe a Mac thing?

Btw, the new RC1 Release is much slower on Asimos Testscene
( with Corona Bitmaps)
What was 1.38 is now 3.11 min
In a M1 Ultra / 128 / c4d 2024
How is that ??????

Anyway, constructing/building  the model in CAD/3D is the main part, what is timeconsuming!
In serious Arch VIZ this takes days or even weeks on larger projects. not to mention the communication with architects/developers.
Preparing for render in whatever engine is the fun part.
So, Threadripper or M3, 40 min or 20, noisy or silent -
How can this be done for 350.- ??
( when you haver to make a living out of that?

if not a necessity!!

Tx Philw
I am not familiar with blender, cycles or the render speed.
From what I saw is that is takes quit a bit more hassle to go from Vectorworks to Blender compared to C4D. That's why I have not bothered with Blender so far.

I got a lengthy support session by Chaos to solve the problem of the cosmos browser not functioning on the Ultra .They got it solved for now by installing the previous version of the cosmos browser.

This is one of the first renders I made with the Ultra 128Gb. I had a terrain modeled that was quit a bit larger taking 125Gb ram at rendering. I reduced the size of the terrain and underneath the house and from then on around 65Gb was in use at rendering. I don't know how long it took to the final render at around 500 samples but it looked not all that different at about 3 min at 12 samples.

I think I spend far more time getting the materials, the model and assets right compared to the rendering proces. Modelling and materialising the scene is completely fluent on the Ultra. (The car is a electric Bollinger that never came in full production).

you can have the latest Cosmos Browser Version!
Install the latest Version
> go to    ~/Users/ChaosCosmos
Backup the 3 Folders somewhere
> delete the Folders
>logout / in
>go to    ~/Users/ChaosCosmos/Packages and change the 3 Folders(your models) with the previous ones
>> restart
