[C4D] General Discussion / Cinema 4D preview render

« on: 2015-05-16, 04:54:35 »

I was using with the plugin Magic Preview from Nitro4D with the last version of CoronaC4D, however with this update the plugin doesn't work at all.

Anyone else managed to get it to work? :/

Interactive rendering would be awesome and it is my main choice, as a new guy in 3D it is just great to learn how the settings work in real time and i suppose those who work with 3D would love having it.

On a non-realistic request, though i hope someday Cinema4D or Corona achieves this, is a a Material Node system.
It is a crazy idea i suppose and extremely difficult task however it would most definitely make the difference with other render engines.
I saw some videos from Arnold renderer and it seems it can be achieved.

Noticed to, also the sun and sky default values are off.  In 3dsmax the default values are the advised settings as they represent the real thing, however in C4D i have to change both multipliers to 0.1 to represet a normal setting.
I always felt that was a bit strange, but you can always change it.

Just group them up on a null and place a composite tag.

Dunno if it works for what you are doing but it saves you from placing multiple composite tags.

[C4D] General Discussion / Corona C4D next release

« on: 2015-03-16, 10:51:41 »

I have been dabbling with Corona and C4D and for the past few days and i think this combination is as awesome as when i watched the Planeteers combining their powers to form Captain Planet.
My question is.. do you guys plan to launch a new alpha soon and before the official release?

Tho CoronaC4D does a good job but seems even more incomplete than 7.1 for max so it would be awesome if there would be a little upgrade on the alpha before the official release to avoid anxiety attacks eheh ;)

So what say you, your Royal Ponyness?

Cheers! :)

The image stays the same. The weird thing is when i stop the render it changes the render completely. When i change the values of the picture, gamma or other, it remains dark and messed up, can't even fix it in photoshop if the filter is active. The only way is to deactivate the filter and do the post on another software.

[Max] I need help! / Cinema 4D ColorMap

« on: 2015-03-05, 16:12:59 »

I couldn't find the ColorMap realtime settings like in 3dsmax, i imagined it was because C4D already has the filter tab on the Picture viewer wich does the same thing, however when i place a coronasun on my scene the filter reacts diferently. Everything is normal till i click the stop rendering button. The image becomes darker and weird. This only happens with a CoronaSun or a CoronaSky, if i place a Coronalight only the filter behaves normally and doesn't change to this darker image.

Pictures below to demonstrate this.
Simple render with basic textures, only with some color and default corona sky and sun, nothing else changed
Picture 1 is render as default, 2 is with filter on only with less exposure, 3 is when i stop the render with filter still on.

Anyone knows why this is happening?

Update: It seems this happens when the scene is way to bright, when i reduced the sky multiplier and sun intensity the filter doesn't change the image when i stop the render, however with C4D render engines, standard or physical this doesnt happen even if its way to bright.

I just started using C4D+ Corona so i don't know if i messed up on something (most probably eheh) and it's working as intended or it's a bug.
Whatever it is, i can now manage the filter properly this way.

News / Re: Pricing and release date announced

« on: 2014-10-08, 02:39:24 »

It seems there is a few 'glitches' to be worked around the payment to be fixed so it could benefit a wider range of users, or not..

However i wish to thank Keymaster and the others of Corona Team for the work they have done not only for making a incredible tool but also for trying their best on making it affordable and easy to get for most of us. I don't have deep pockets and was a bit scared about the price of Corona and these initial news are great for me and for most of us who use Corona i think.

Again, thanks guys!

I did, however i don't know if it just my 3dsmax but when i hover it with the cursor the text disappears short after, i can barely read 2 lines and it vanishes and i have to get the cursor out of the way, wait and put it back on. A bit annoying and hard to read. I use the online version of 'http://corona-renderer.com/doc/' and not directly from 3dsmax, it is really handy, i love it.

I know it's easy... however i am new to 3d, just started to learn the basics. I am now trying to learn about textures and materials, what are normals and displacement maps etc. I still have a long way. I started with vray as they have a huge documentation online and several tutorials made by users but sometimes i would lose my mind on why i couldn't render a simple image and digged the net for hours on what was the problem, but Corona feels more natural, easier, more intuitive. So i decided to learn from it instead being overwhelmed by other render engines.

So.. that's why i asked if there some other help files online, i'm still on that phase were you write everything you find so i don't forget and every little tutorial or help file i can find is awesome. :)

Is there any tutorial about Corona materials or something like 'https://corona-renderer.com/doc/'  explaining each setting?
I have found one but google translator doesn't translate russian that well for me to understand it.
If anyone could point me to something of sorts i would be grateful.

That would be great!
I usually prefer to render on the slave machines so that i can still work on some other stuff while its rendering without having that sluggish behaviour.

« on: 2014-08-01, 10:01:12 »

Is it possible to render only on the slave machine like vray?
Corona doesn't seem to have that option on the DR options. Is there anyway to achieve that?
