Send nodes! Hang on, I may have stuffed that up!

Today, the feature that I miss the most is adding a background with the Background object.

It's very boring to do it with Affinity Photo or Photoshop.

I've played a lot with the UE4 in the last few days.
I've changed my mind. Go easy on the math nodes.
I don't want to build a simple fresnel effect with 100 math nodes.

edit: Idea: When having a map into the node editor, convert the map into a Corona bitmap via right-click menu.

Can't you do it with a plane object?

Ravens are very smart. They can use tools to solve complex problems!

Just tried to use Corona in production for a pretty big project... But... I'm getting stuck in Preparing Scene Data... This is caused when I enable motion blur... Can't seem to fix it...

This is such a bummer... I may need to use Redshift for this one...

Hi Shawn,

I'm guessing you're using the latest daily? Is there multiple objects with mb applied? Can you describe what's going on, any additional plugins used also?

[iacdxb]

I dont think its good idea to remove all extra plugins if going for final render... and sure some of extra plugin may be used in project.

I also did some posting and video sent of scene stuck or hang after few passes and quitting c4d.

Instead of adding new major features... its not better to fix this minor errors and more focus on it stability....?

Thanks. Imran

I wasn't suggesting to remove the plugins, just wanted to know if there may be a conflict. Although you guys submit your scenes etc, unless we can reproduce the error is it's kinda hard to solve. In most cases we can but not all. ;) Currently, the main focus is mastering the node system. It's been asked for a lot and the guys are working hard to have it right for you. Other low priority bugs will be addressed accordingly. So don't think we're going to release something unfinished, all bugs will be looked at. As for the motion blur, a scene file would be nice or a detailed step by step in how to reproduce it. The more info we have, obviously the better we can help.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try a few things that crossed my mind overnight. My scene is incredibly simple I animated one null spinning around a hundred and eighty degrees over 15 frames to test motion blur.

I have several plugins installed but I'm not using any of them in this project so far...

I'll report back my findings...

We always appreciated your effort, progress and your hard work.

I am in ad agency and I dont know what I will get to do from my director.... so I have to keep my tools ready and sharp. Almost all major Plugins I have, I think around 40 to 50, with two more render engines, Cycles 4d and VrayforC4D.

If the scene is giving same error on some certain point sure you can find that but one scene hang in render and in second try it renders well, its hard to find what is the cause and will be a long process to find.

We are updating you the errors by posting and I am sure you are taking it seriously and updating us. Thanks for that.

Imran.

I tried temporarily moving all of my c4d plugins into a temp folder... This had no effect... Then I got into my scene and started removing elements. Fist I removed the shaders... This had no effect... Then I started removing geometry... Instances etc...

I did have some luck getting it to render with next to no geometry in the scene other than a sphere and a cube.

Attached is my very simple scene that freezes up in the picture viewer when trying to render with motion blur...

Let me know if you guys have any thoughts or ideas.

Thanks guys/gals!
