Hey, just want to confirm, interactive render is still not fully supported right? Just set up a simple test scene and IR crashed C4D.

Thanks

[Visual Pie Workroom]

Thanx!
What`s next in roadmap ?

Alongside IR have noticed some other bugs and submitted them to the official bug reports board.
Thanks!

Great to see a new update! But I can't set the focus for camera dof. is it a bug? Its always the same focus distance.. Can it anyone confirm?

[dimka11]

I install corona on other computer and when Cinema 4d is start. I see : no license found on this computer!

The release is highly unstable! We are waiting for version 5.1

[Rhodesy]

Strangely on initial testing I think A5 RC2 was more stable for me. Im getting freezing midway through renders with the official release. RC2 was pretty solid so not sure if anything has changed somewhere or if its just the file Im working on.

[Mor4us]

not testet yet, but does the team render support work for stills too?

[Rhodesy]

Not tried tr yet as I've never set it up before but in the info it says it support stills so I for one will be getting on it as soon as I have a window! Awesome feature

I have reported this as a bug previously and seems like Ales is working on it.

My workaround is this for now
In Camera object settings: right click  Focus Distance --> Xpressions --> Set Driver
In render settings: Enable DOF and Enable Override camera DOF. Right click "Perspective View Focus Distance" --> Xpressions --> Set Driven Absolute

Now you can control focus distance through the viewport. f-stop, shutter and iso is still controlled by the camera tag.

Happy rendering!

Thanks man, but I'll change to the A4.1.

[berdus]

thanks

Where did the color mapping window go?
The one under the plugin menu to change color mapping interactivly in PV.

Edit: Ok I've just seen the extra thread on this topic

[VogelDK]

Corona proxy isn't working. I'm tested the A5 version on 3 different PC's, and every time model lost material.

Don't get me wrong guys, i do agree with you that in some areas the 4.1 release was more stable than latest. But are we not missing out on the main purpose of trying out these alpha builds. The way I see it, the devs are letting us try their engine for free to help them iron out pre-release bugs. Staying on a "stable" release or reverting back to previous ones seems kinda counterproductive imo. Just a thought.

[Gr100]

not testet yet, but does the team render support work for stills too?

I too would like to know, ive tried team render and C4D crashes everytime i do.

[Visual Pie Workroom]

Anisotropy preview rotation plz fix it ((

[Gr100]

Hi, i just wanted to point out there's a lot of"Interactive rendering, team render related crashes. Also im having a hard time when loading in bitmaps; cinema 4d freezes everytime i load a new bitmap.
If there's something i can do to address these problems until the next build, please share.

Thanks for Alpha 5 regardless, cant wait to have a solid Version1.

Hi Mor4us!

The Corona for C4D road map is intended to show the news, with the list of what is on the 'to do' list:

Hope this helps!

Indeed I'm really glad you offer this one, BUT 5.2 update was sheduled to 12.08 wich was 11 days ago...
Don't get me wrong, I'm really in love with corona and I'm just eager to try new features ;)

[maru]

Mor4us, do you have access to C4D daily builds?

[Mor4us]

PMed you ;)

[maru]

I don't see any PM, unless you emailed me.
