Chaos Corona for Cinema 4D => [C4D] I need help! => Topic started by: MartinBerthelsen on 2019-03-08, 13:42:08

Hello
I've been trying to fix this all day... But can't seem to find a fix for it.
I'm trying to make a credit card, the Displacement Map worked fine before I tried switching from Cinema 4D's renderer to Corona. I have set up all the materials from new using the Corona ones and still it won't show up on the model in the renderview. I am using the Layered Material to put them all together.
Please note that I'm still new in 3D!

Hi Martin. I'm not a C4D user, but for layered materials the same applies to both Max and C4D: displacement only works in the base layer. So put the displacement map in the base layer, and it should work - unless there's a bug in C4D.
Hope it helps

Hi Martin, Can't really add much more than PROH has already mentioned. Instead, I have created the scene file for you. Note that I included a mask for the lettering to be excluded from the card colour. It should be enough to get you started. Hope that helps. ;)

Sorry for my late answer... I have been sick through the whole weekend... :(
I will try it out now, thanks a lot for the help guys! :)

Well... It worked, now it shows the displacement map... But it just created another problem for me.
It looks really weird and pixelated for some reason, any idea why? I have done it exactly like you did in the file you uploaded.

Oh, and here's the screenshot of it, forgot to attach it to my other comment.
-
What's the displacement settings of the material and what's the texture map you are using? Is it low rez?
-
The displacement map is pretty high res.
-
The only difference from mine is I used the blur scale and offset. The offset was 1% and the scale was 3%. Maybe that will help?
-
It looks that your displacement size is simply too big. You should decrease displacement screen size or world size, depending on which you're using.
-
Changing the blur- offset and scale actually helped quite a bit, though it still look... "broken".
Sorry, but what exactly do you mean about decreasing the screen size or world size? :)
-
It's displacement quality settings. I don't know where exactly these are located in C4D, but i'm sure, Bengamin will tell you.
-
It's late in Europe, but not so late in the States, so I'll post it :)
-
Yep, that's it. I also used the default settings in my example. Lowering it will improve the look of displacement when viewed up close but I don't think that's the issue here. I'd still try blurring the displacement scale in the material options. At least you'll be narrowing it down.
-
Thanks for the help everyone, I can get it to work somewhat, but still not quite perfect. But I'll try fiddling with the settings a bit more. :)
