Chaos Corona for Cinema 4D => [C4D] I need help! => Topic started by: hankusp on 2023-10-13, 21:24:49

Hi
I use Corona with C4D r20 for few days now. In my case interactive render window is not interactive at all. Refresh button does not work. It does not change anything when I twik the material, lights and so on. Why is that? Is my C4D too old for interactive render? Is there something in settings, that I have to turn on?
Please, let me know if I can make it working.

Are you selecting Start IR rather than Render in the VFB? Which version of Corona? You can ignore the Refresh button, it doesn't do anything, but IR should change as soon as you move an object, change a material, adjust a light, etc. See https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528493906449-How-to-use-Interactive-Rendering-in-Corona-for-Cinema-4D- in case it helps!

Thank you! It works with IR Start, doesn't work with Render in VFB

Then all is working as intended :) "Render" does a final render, freezing the state of the scene it is rendering to how it was when the button was pressed, and while you might be able to make changes to the scene while that render is happening, the render will not stop and start over to reflect those changes. For the second use case, that's where IR (Interactive Rendering) comes in, and you use that instead - basically, Start IR is "I am just making changes to my scene and want to see them as I work" and Render is "I am done with changes and want a full-quality final render please".

Ok, right now it is clear to me. Thank you a lot!
