[C4D] I need help! / Controllable Shadow Catcher Spread

« on: 2025-05-22, 16:49:45 »

Can anyone suggest a way to control a shadow a bit more? e.g. under a car, using the Shadow Catcher? I always get a shadow massive spread over the geometry I'm using as the catcher and get harsh edges if I reduce the geometry down to try and help contain it (as I can't feather the opacity edges in a shadow catcher material).

I need a transparent cutout image with the edges of the shadow fading out for using in comp afterwards. Any tips greatly appreciated! Thanks :-)

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Issues with texture size with Corona 12 Update 2

« on: 2025-04-26, 08:10:02 »

I've had to roll back to Update 1 Hotfix 1 as texture sizes were massive on some materials in my scene. Not sure if its to do with the triplanar node. No time to try and fix right noe so just rolled back and all is back to normal. I've opened a ticket with support too. Same on MacOS and Windows.

(I know my screenshot of the "wrong" one isn't fully resolved - but I was in a rush – but  you can tell that its much larger tiling)

[C4D] I need help! / Triplanar clarification

« on: 2023-12-19, 12:57:41 »

Hi all - can I just get a C4D Triplanar shader clarification? On an object that doesn't have valid UV mapping (e.g. imported CAD) - should my mapping be set to cubic for the results of triplanar to be seen?

Thanks

[C4D] Feature Requests / Layer Material to survive a being copied to new file

If I copy an object with a layer material to a new file - the layers break and need reconnecting to the master material. Should this work? Am i being an idiot? Cheers

[C4D] I need help! / Proxies

Just checking it’s not possible still to make a proxy of a complex scene as is? Still can only be one mesh plus material selections?

Cheers

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / MacOS Corona 9 RC2 Tonemapping Preset Path

« on: 2022-10-11, 08:13:55 »

When adding a preset tonemap to the stack - path to LUT is hardcoded with a windows C: path - so errors on MacOS.

I think we had this previously at some point?

Thanks

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Exposure changes back when moving camera in Viewport IPR

« on: 2022-10-08, 15:14:53 »

Just having a spin in Corona 9 RC1 - on MacOS 12.6. and C4D S26.017 - if i make a cene with a Corona Sky - then add a camera and alter the exposure in the tonemapping - then maybe change the value again - e.g -2 then to -3 - if I move the camera the exposure flips back to previous value.

I think its only viewport IPR - I can't seem to make it do it in the proper Interactive Render window.

[C4D] I need help! / Best practice for bricks

Just a quick ask what is the current best way to get some good random variation of bricks for buildings? Ideally all within C4D and latest Corona…
