Title: Corona C4D Tests
Post by: Silverwing on 2014-09-01, 11:25:26

Hi there.
Just some further tests with Corona C4D.
I hope you like them.

Rendertime about 30 Min 1920 X 1080 (i7 980x)
I used the Translucent option to make it look a little more SSS like

Cheers,
Raphael

Really like these rendering. Specifically, "TopMod_Star_Corona_02.jpg", so moody, so nice. Thumb up !

Beautiful shapes and light. First one is my favourite. Did you use corona lights or HDRI for this?

@ con12:
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it!


@Rhodesy:

Thanks for your feedback!

Its an dark colored environment (not really strong just to lift up the dark blacks a little)
And then corona area lights. Depending on the scene 2 (1st and 3rd pic) or 1 (2nd pic).


Cheers,
Raphael

Thanks for the info Rafael. Really looking forward to giving Corona a spin when we get the C4D public beta. Can you tell us how feature rich the current beta is compared to the MAX version? There is hardly any info on this in the forum. Im a long time vray user and Corona is the only other render engine I would be curious in trying. The quality of light / shadow and materials looks excellent. Throw in fast progressive rendering and its a very interesting proposition.

Can´t tell you much.
But obviously its not on par with the 3Ds Max version as Development started later.
But all the basic features are there and its quite nice to play around with.
Its quite a way to a production ready renderer. But I´m sure they will get there. Especially when the public release hits there will be a lot of people sharing good ideas to improve the renderer ;-)

Right now all I can say its a very well operating renderer with very good light transport and surfacing quality (As you can see in my examples)

That's great thanks. Appreciate you might have to remain tight lipped about specifics. Looking forward to having a play, could be nice to go back to basics with a limited feature set.
