[C4D] Bug Reporting / camera sync

« on: 2024-06-13, 11:06:08 »

Hello guys...I continue to get the "Camera was removed, controls for tone mapping, bloom and glare and sharpening won't be synchronized." message into the VFB.
This issue also deactivate the Bloom and glare, very annoying. Anyone else got this issue?

[C4D] Bug Reporting / HDR mirrored horizontally

« on: 2024-06-11, 08:53:21 »

I noticed that Corona Render put the HDR mirrored horizontally when I load it into the HDR/Shader slot on the Sky Object...
Why does it happen? every time I need to insert -100 on Uv Scale parameters...
Thanks

[C4D] Feature Requests / Chaos Scatter and camera clipping

« on: 2024-06-05, 10:14:35 »

Hello Guys, it would be great if the Camera clipping feature works with "film offset" parameter from Cinema4D camera. Unfortunately when the camera clipping is turned on the film offset won't be affected by this feature and the grass will be cut too early from the edges of the render frame :)

[C4D] I need help! / HDR vs Physical SKY

« on: 2024-05-16, 08:36:55 »

Hello Guys...Corona user since Corona 4...
I'm approaching to get some archiviz animations request from some clients, exteriors and interiors scene.
Often I'm using the Physical Sky for exteriors and some HDRIs for interiors render.

About Interior renders, what do you think is it the best way between HDR or Physical sky to avoid noise and long render times?
You know Corona Render is settings free and I would like to find some tricks to speedup render process.
Usually I don't touch anything from advanced settings so render times is not a problem right now, but during animations putting Flicker free GI get some times to render a single frames...setting the noise level is a good way but I don't know if there are some settings to put down...

Any tips?
Thanks

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Background and Tone mapping

« on: 2024-05-06, 16:01:01 »

Hello to all, I found another annoying issue about ToneMap control shaders applied to a physical material to the background...
Below what happen with and without tone map control into the material...(without tone map you need to adjust camera exposure settings)

here the c4d scene: www.c4dzone.com/clienti/altro/test.zip

Latest C4D and corona render

[EDIT] seems to be the "ACES" that give this strange square splotch on the background...if you disable it the problem is gone...

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Strange squares with Adaptive Light Solver [EDIT]

« on: 2024-04-19, 09:25:39 »

Hello to all, I noticed on my renders (latest release of corona) some strange squares on walls.
No overlapping polygons and nothing else on the scene.

If I turn off the "adaptive light solver" the squares goes away...
Any tips?

EDIT:

find the solution. Seems to be the TONE MAP CONTROL shaders into the Panoramic photo on outside of the apartment, if I toggle the shader all squares disappears...I think there is a sort of bug here.

[C4D] Feature Requests / Refreshing animated preview

« on: 2024-04-12, 12:43:28 »

To avoid continuous Interactive Rendering start and stop, I would like to see the animated material preview (streaming files or movie into the material channel) during time line movement...

[C4D] Resolved Feature Requests / Tone map control on shadow catcher material

« on: 2024-02-08, 21:22:39 »

It would be great if the tone map control shader works if placed into the shadow catcher material for perfect video and photo compositing.
In this way we can achieve great result with compositing.

[C4D] General Discussion / Corona Bitmap shader yes or not?

« on: 2023-12-20, 13:30:41 »

Reading some topics here about using or not the Corona Bitmap Shader, I tried to convert a scene created without bitmap shader and changed all scene materials with Corona Bitmap...
I got the same render times...what do you think about?

Any tips or suggestions?

[C4D] General Discussion / VFB refresh

« on: 2023-10-25, 12:03:01 »

Hello to all, I noticed on some scene that if I click onto an object on the object manager, Corona refreshes the VFB. This happen when I click into a tag, object name, material icon without make a real action.
On some scene it doesn't happens...and I can click everywhere without see the VFB refreshing...

It is there a special situation that Corona doesn't refresh the VFB?

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Tag composting issue?

« on: 2023-10-17, 08:28:06 »

Usually when I create an interiors rendering I put a simple panel outside the scene with Light Material. To avoid to make shadows into the room I put a compositing Tag onto it but, see what happens on Corona 10 instead of Corona 9 where the functionality works fine...

EDIT: I noticed that if I uncheck "emit light" into the light material the shadow are deactivated without using the TAG...some behaviour are chanced I think...🧐

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Strange GI behaviour through relfections

« on: 2023-10-16, 12:03:36 »

Hello to all,

recently updated Cinema4D to 2024 and Corona 10 latest release.
Today I'm starting a new project for a client of mine, and I noticed a strange behaviour of the curtain (with translucency turned on) and the mirror...as you can see there are many splotch on the reflected one...the curtain has two surface due to a roll curtain shape...so I have two surfaces with the same material.
The problem is gone if I turn off one of them...
Ideas?

[C4D] I need help! / Edge Trimming strange behaviour

« on: 2023-10-04, 10:47:50 »

Dear All,

I'm trimming some large branch of flower from cosmos browser...I got a strange behaviour..
As you can see into the pictures below, if I put the edge trimming shader into the opacity some branch doesn't goes away...If I put the opacity value to 0%, all branch will be deleted...
Why? I missed something?
