- “Only Corona has this issue” - this is not true. This is not a Corona-only issue. According to our tests, the same issue appears when rendering with V-Ray.

Did you try with a Cinema4D internal engine scene? download an example scene from the content browser and give it a try..please.

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Re: update to Mac OS 13.1 causes many "ula" background notifications

I don't think Corona team already upgraded the installer, here is the dropped link from chaos support for ULA:

https://download.chaos.com/downloads/21727/unifiedlogin-standalone-20230118297198-free

I deleted the ULA installation manually so I haven't yet tried to instal the new ULA...

here some WIP screenshots from our up-coming TV spot for an Italian company....Native Corona Renderer stills without external post production...

The ULA has been upgraded so the background issue has gone way. I got a message from Chaos support, you can download from chaos directly.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Cosmos Keeps Refreshing - On MAC

I already tried to stop the ULA background app and I didn’t get corona license on my computer without it. So I don't know if ULA is a component of the license server or something else.
These packages follow YOUR Corona render installer so I don't know where uninstall app is stored and also ULA is not an app but a user agent running into background started on Mac startup and scripted by a plist file with some rules inside.
Did you never seen the chaos cosmos and chaos license server folders? There are apps and executable files without icons into it in a total confusion, is impossible to understand where files are stored. Absolutely a total chaos!
So please, if Chaos is developing some apps without quality control is not a my problem.
I absolutely love Corona Render...but not Chaos Group app...

What is the point of sharing support answers on the forum? If you have some concerns, please discuss it with the support agent.

Please stop being disrespectful

Sorry about but this is not the right way to make support. What means “you can uninstall ULA from applications” answer? From where? Where is the uninstaller? There is not a uninstall app but only folders in a total confusion without icon with duplicated names and folder.

Right now is impossibile to work with this ULA background app that popup continuously into background...very disappointing...this issue is not only from ULA but from CBCservice too, cosmos browser.

If you want to delete my post...do it without problem...
I’m a corona costumer “day one” with two licenses on my studio. If it were possible to pay corona render and not chaos group apps I would do it!
But don’t worry I will try by myself to find a solution.

I’m not here to disrespectful your job. As I said I love corona developers and I respect them for their jobs but chaos apps are a total disaster with a very bad development and quality control. I redirect tons of costumers to corona shop for buy it because we have a CGI school here in Italy, so we love corona render but the low quality of chaos service apps is very annoying.

Thanks anyway
Thank
Alex

this is the great Chaos Group support service:

Hello,
 
It appears to be something new in Ventura OSX that has caused this issue. Until they release a fix you can uninstall the ULA from Applications.
Best Regards,

Oh yeah, uninstall the ULA...and all problems will be cleared...🤦🏻‍♂️

A workaround is after rebooting the computer click into notification and at the preferences panel unflag the ULA and it’s stop for this session.

Come on guys! Someone can Tell to Chaos developers to make something working with license server and cosmos browser on Osx system?
Here are tons of notifications on Ventura, due to a background services unrecognized as developer 😵‍💫
My god.

Same here on my MacBook Pro M1...The cosmos browser or the Chaos license server apps are absolutely the bad applications ever....I must disable it and login manually on the browser to get the license running...
Very disappointed....all has started by installing Ventura....

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Speed on M1 Macs

« on: 2022-12-20, 18:26:18 »

Thank you Tom. Can you tell me roughly how much faster a MacBook M1 pro M1 max is compared to a MacBook pro Core i9?
I also believe that there is no difference in CPU between pro and max.
I'm sure many here would be interested to know what Corona'sg future with Apple looks like. After all, we don't want to spend money on machines that are hopelessly behind equally expensive Windows systems.

I work with a MacBook Pro M1 Pro Max. The Cinebench is 14.000, same as iMac i9 10K generation. Try a Cinebench on the MacBook Pro i9 so you can see yourself differences during rendering...

Perfect explanation!


We did report this long time ago and they came up with same explanation blaming Thermal throttle then and now, All we need is the true explanation about it, I don't know why they're dragging this for so long! NONE of the devs come with a real answear on when will actually look at it.   

What I see is that the dev team does not have a macbook machine to teste at, they probably have an mac mini m1 and that's all they call for.

It's very simple to explain from a developer...if you try to compiling a software originally developed on a CISC processor architectures (Intel) you need a clean work to do on the code, not only hit "compiling" e finger crossed and you need also good compliers....I think that the dev team of Corona Render is very skilled but maybe doesn't know deeply the RISC (ARM) architecture.
So, right now Corona Renderer is not compiled on Apple M1 as expected due to performance issue.
Cinema4D is very well compiled on M1...

Hi all,
After reviewing the issue, our dev team found that it is actually a CPU issue (thermal throttling).
I mean, you'd think that if you set your power preset to "High" you should then get all the power from the CPU, this idea is correct; however, Corona exhausts the CPU way more than the OS or CPU is expecting, so the automatic response from the CPU is to reduce the overall performance.
This is happening mostly on laptops (Macbooks) due to the inefficiency of their cooling system.
This shouldn't be happening when using a desktop computer (including Mac minis), as they have a more efficient cooling solution than Macbooks.
You can monitor the CPU temperature and the overall performance of the CPU by using either the built-in "Activity Monitor" app, or using the "TG Pro" app, or using the "iStatistica Pro for Mac" app.
I hope this helps.

Sorry but I don't think so, and your Dev Team may doesn't know How Apple silicon CPU works.... If you monitoring the overall performance during Cinema4D Internal Rendering Engine the CPU stay around 980% for all the time (see attachment), and no action is needed from the preference panel where battery settings are, you also can hear fun running very quietly. Only with Corona Render we got performance issue and wrong CPU usage. Is not a thermal issue...this low CPU usage appears on second or third rendering start...or after the five pass....
Why does Corona slow down to 780% and Cinema4D Rendering Engine still on 980% of CPU using? Why does Cinema4D is not Thermal affected? Because Corona doesn't run correctly on M1 device...is very simple...

Take a look to these screenshots...Tell to your Dev Team that Corona Render must be compiled correctly for M1 devices...is not a Apple Silicon throttle issue...I think that with this kind of CPU your Dev Team need to investigate more deeply on the Code.

so...does is difficult for Devs to run a Cinema4D rendering engine scene and monitoring the CPU usage?

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Why isn't Chaos Cosmos Browser integrated into the interface?

« on: 2022-12-02, 08:58:55 »

Believe me...the internal cinema4d browser is a total disaster...I don't remember what browser is, but on OSX release I activate "use the external browser"...fortunately I have this option on Mac computer, otherwise on windows is external by default...
I hope for stay external...:)
