Corona for Cinema 4D Beta 2 daily build

[snifferdog]

Sorry about the missing image editor in Mac installer - we will fix that in next daily build. We could also replicate problem with loading CXR in image editor (seems to be problem only on Mac too), so we will try to fix that too...

Excellent, thanks for looking into it. Node editor is a great addition!

First of all, many thanks for making Corona better and better. I'm using it for almost 2 years now, incredible progress since then.

However, I keep getting some bugs with the current daily build. (B2 daily Aug  7 2018 (core 3 (DailyBuild Aug  7 2018)))
R18 on OSX High Sierra

First: its pretty stable, but for some reason cinema keeps dying ones I stop the render. Happens not every time tho.

Second: if I adjust glossiness while IR is running I need to restart the render, otherwise the material is complete rough.

So is this happening in different scenes or just one in particular? If it's just the one scene, we would like to take a look at it. You can upload it to our private uploader which is in my signature below. As for your second point, I have tried to replicate this and so far it is working for me. If you can, could do a screen recording if possible?

Unfortunately I can't share that specific file, since its huge plus I am not allowed to share that file. But I will keep an eye on that bug, if it happens again I gonna let you guys know.

For the second bug: here is a quick screen record. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aTC2ake7nMcwtihI5-HoFSRIMvh-9U_D/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for the video, I have already mentioned this bug to our devs, it's nice to know I'm not the only one it happens to ;) As for the scene, there's not much we can do without seeing it. But you're more than welcome to bring it up again. ;)

Hi,
first i have to say i love corona.
After 8 years going with vrayforc4d we switched completely to corona.
The development is amazing.
The second point (alex wrote) abote the issue of the glossymap update is right.
Here it happens too.

New release is great guys! I know you all are cramming away on making Corona 2 available for C4D soon but I can't help but ask when you guys think you'll have homogeneous media support in the C4D version? It would be a dream come true if I could control the density of a volume with C4D noises in Corona.

Also if we could get very basic X-Particles support that would be huge! I really think Corona need's these features before it's initial release.

Thanks again guys!

I haven't dived that deep into XP yet but so far parts are working. OVDBmesher at least. ;)

[Shawn Astrom]

Well meshing works of course but I'm talking about rendering particles and trails at render time...

I m making a short film
Why Preparing scene data become more longer along rendered sequences.
For example,  the first 10 images make env 4 min after time climb up to 12 minutes. 3D scene is the same, just moving camera

thx

Hmm, have you tried crunching through that scene with the physical renderer too? Just switch the render engine, place a light with shadows and do a material override.

I think I ran into similar issues but I think I've then came to the conclusion that its something related to C4D and not Corona.

I could be very wrong though :)

I would like to adjust the intensity luminance of a HDRI, and to have different diffuse map HDRI image.
It tried 2 sky HDRI, to hide one, but it seems only the one of the top is considered.

I also tried to uncheck the option "visible directly" in the advanced options of the corona lighting materials, but the HDRI on the top is still visible when rendered.
Perhaps was it easy to set up with Corona composition tag? but it's gone.

Sounds like a good task for using the LightMix editor. Or you could adjust the intensity in the hdri's material options. Also, the compositing tag is still there, Tags>Corona>Compositing

Thank you very much. I could not find he compositing tag since it iss not in the menu since I upgraded from beta1. My problem is fixed.
Yet, I still don't know why the "seen by GI" corona button on the Sky does not work. But it does work on the Corona compositing tag applied to the same sky.

Hi leo!

Does the preparation of scene data take so long even if you render a single frame? I mean - try rendering separate frame 1, frame 2, frame 3, etc... Will the frames then take the same amount of time for scene preparation as when you render them in animation? That way, we can find out, whether the slowdown is caused by the scene or the animation.
