[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Is there a maximum number of render passes?

« on: 2022-03-04, 11:53:19 »

strange, i also see all passes in the vfb (same c4d and corona version as you have)

maybe good to send the corona team a file to explore?

[C4D] General Discussion / can i use Corona 8 and vray 5 together with 2 chaos lic servers? or do i need to

« on: 2022-03-04, 09:03:44 »

Hi,

before testing the new beta 8 with chaos lic, i need to make sure all works, and to understand the process of the license system:

i have  several vray lic under a chaos account that exists since long.
and i have corona licenses under a corona acount.

how can i use all on one chaos lic server, or do i need to run 2 different chaos servers with 2 login accounts?

i need both engines active at the same time on my machines

thanks for info!
Stefan

here atm i have like 40 render passes in use, so from corona side this works.

what version on what c4d do you use?

how does one know when the image is ready in regard of noise without GUI ? i normally check that visually

i prefer seeing the render also on rendernodes (like with niklas tool, bit that needs a full lic in future i think))

"Not being able to using a converted object with textures is a bit of a letdown.
If the texture assigment finally works, I can live with that, though."

for me that works, where you have an issue with that?

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: R25 scene crash

« on: 2022-02-15, 12:57:53 »

after some more hours debugging i find some left over vraybitmaps from some assets i downloaded make r25 with beta 8 crash on that machine(not on my main)

i do NOT use the node editor, that are some assets from CGmood i think.
the corona converter seems to keep the vraybitmap and not to convert it to corona bitmap or c4d bitmap.

as it is very hard to check 500+ materials for such things  it would be really great of corona could ignore such 3rd party shaders, and not crash ( i deactivated render " 3rd party materials)
maybe some similar for shaders?

or is there a way to remove such non corona shaders automatic?
(i did already try open in a c4d without vray installed and resave, that wont eliminate them sadly)

thanks
Stefan

[C4D] Bug Reporting / R25 scene crash

« on: 2022-02-14, 20:14:52 »

Hi

i have a bigger scene which crashes on one machine in r25, but not in r23 with same corona ( both latest beta 8 from feb 2 2022)
a slightly older version renders fine(before i added some assets)
it also renders ok on corona 6 and r23 on same machine

it also doesn't crash on my other machine with same corona 8 beta  r25,

all pcs have the same OS, same ram and same extentions (corona and same vray verison installed)
no bitmaps are missing


i tried with de-installing vray on that machine(in case there was some leftover ion the assets)
when i open the scene then it doesnt find a vray shader (so there seems some hidden mat or shader, but this should not crash and doesnt crash on the other machine)

i disables "render 3rd party materials" in render settings
ram is plenty (59% usage only in total)

can i send you the bug report to check that that is, i am out of ideas?

yes it is flower meadow 006,
but it is not limited to this one, i have this in like 25-30% of the assets i downloaded so far (mostly plants),

pls see also my other post on the empty material assignments, this is a separate problem on some assets yet (also here mostly on plants)

for me cosmos is quite a game changer and it gets more and more, most of the things are really useful.
that is starts to be available now in Corona makes me VERY happy:)

i had some crashes  at render time with cosmos objects, i think when i copied them from one scene to another. i have seen the material tab was empty for some reason. when i removed them from scene it did render ok again.

if i can recreate that case i post it here

for the materials that show no preview, as reported above,
i found that this is connected to the overwrite UVW option and the channel 1 which is set there,
if i set it to channel 0 it shows the preview ok, (but then renders wrong), so seems the preview has yet issues with the UVW channel option:

i think i found a small bug yet:
some cosmos objects import with empty material tags, i think this happens when a material is applied more than one time in original cosmos file.

you see this for example on the tree called "Rowan 002".
when i import it via v-ray it has 5 material tags with 3 unique materials applied tot he 5 tags.
in corona it has also 5 material tags but 2 of these material tags are empty(showing a "?"), - i assume the ones that needed one material applied 2x tot he object:
